Broncos agree to trade Cutler to Bears

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

LOL @ Jonathan Quinn.

Maybe the worst starting quarterback to ever start more then five games in the NFL...ever.

Only win came against the Steelers...true talk.

Cutler failed his physical.. trade's off....

reportedly he had a vagina when they went to do the hernia test

I'll still take him with the female genitals

Yeah he came over from KC when Terry Shea became the OC here. Shea basically went to bat for him and said he was a good QB and would be a great backup and knew Shea's system. Well, Grossman got hurt, Quinn came in and blew ass. Cost Shea his job pretty much.

Yep, they have had 27 Starting QB changes I think in the past 20 years. Second was Arizona with 24

Hell, I could've sworn it was twice that...I guess that # doesn't account for all the switching back & forth they did between these guys.

Yeah there was a lot of bouncing back and forth with Miller, Matthews, McNown in that era. Obviously the Grossman era with Orton, him, Stewart, Griese, and Chandler. Then some in the early 90's with Harbaugh and Tomczak. Also a bit with Walsh and Kramer.

Kyle Orton is stoked to be in Denver!

Kyle Orton will fit in great with his Mountain Man Beard.

Do the Broncos take a QB at #12 or #18. What's the plan now?

 

[calgaryballer]

A few favorites of mine from that list...

Cade McNown...when he isn't being terrible on the football field, he is chasing around Tim Couch's sloppy seconds and getting rejected and having the police called on him. He is still not wanted at the Playboy Mansion. Gotta love that stalking mf'r.

Henry Burris...he was good in the CFL?

Craig Krenzel...who thought that would be a good idea?

You'll refer to him as Grey Cup Winning Henry Burris from now on

I had heard rumors they were looking to possibly use those picks to move up to get Sanchez but with their defensive issue I doubt they would do that. They can land two defensive starters in the 1st round. They already have two capable QB's who can start in the NFL on the roster now and I agree a guy like Nate Davis would be a nice fit a round or two later.

 

[FirstTimer]

Just a bit of info. Cutler is scheduled to be introduced today at a 5pm Press Conference at Halas Hall. You can hear it on WSCR AM670 The Score or stream it off the website as well.

Weighing in really late here, but figured I'd give my thoughts on the trade. I think it works out well for both teams. I look at the trade in this way - would Chicago have been able to get such an impact player with their first round pick this year? The answer is no. Thus, the trade, IMO, is Cutler for Orton, a 1 and a 3, which doesn't really look that bad.

From Denver's POV, I think Orton/Simms will be able to do a job, and the extra two picks in the first three rounds can be used to solve the real problem from last season - the defence. I think if they draft well, they could still feasibly push San Diego (Norv Turner is a joke) for the final playoff spot

Denver made out like bandits in this deal. They have two first rounders over the next two years, they'll at least have a game manager in Kyle Orton. They can address some major defensive needs in the first round alone of this year, then get their QB of the future next year.

OC Ron Turner is willing to cut a QB loose and let him play when needed. Orton threw the ball a lot last season and when Turner has a capable QB the QB is able to put up big numbers. Two of the three best passing seasons in Bears history came with Turner as OC and a capable QB at the helm. Kramer in 95 and Grossman in 06.

Of course they don't want Cutler making shit headed decisions but they also don't want him to be a game manager. They brought him in to make plays, something he has proved he can do at a very high level.

Cutler will not be asked to "simply manage the game" he will be asked to be the Pro Bowl QB the Bears brought in and paid a high price for.

If the Bears wanted a QB to "manage" the game they would have kept Orton and not giving up 2 1st rounders.

I was qouting were somebody else said "you guys dont understand , all he has to do is manage the game" and i was saying this simply wont be the case.

 

[FirstTimer]

Orton/Simms/Pat White. The Broncos will go with the tripod QB system. One when they need a game manager (Simms), one to throw downfield (Orton), and one to run the WildCat (White). Innovation FTW!

Orton's biggest weakness is his deep ball.......................

No shit? Really? Maybe I was expanding on your thought. Did I say anywhere that I disagreed with you?

My bad then i thought u were telling me like i was implying these things. My bad , chill.

 

[Goober]

I hope not. I think Tyson Jackson is a lock at #12 and then either Peria Jerry or Maualalayagaga at #18. Denver might be a good landing spot for Nate Davis.

Peria Jerry would be horrible in a 3-4. The Broncos don't need an ILB. If they take a LB at 18 it will be Clint Sintim.

As far as QBs go, I'm fine with Sanchez at 12, but if we trade up to get him...

 

[BroncoBlue]

We won't be drafting a QB people.

I'm sure you will at some point in the draft. If not in Rd 1 then down the road in the later rounds. McDaniels, like Belicheck, is a big believer in molding late round QB's with some tools. But maybe that's what he sees in Orton.

So I just heard that Jay Cutler was committed to U of Illinois until Ron Turner pulled his scholarship from him right before commitment time. Now hes coming back to Ron Turner as his Offensive Coordinator. I hope theres no negative looming feelings there.

I wouldn't worry, it's not like Cutler has thrown a new coach under the bus before.
