For now I would say the Bears definitely got the better end of this deal, but that could change quickly. For one, I've always thought Cutler was a bit overrated and watching him in games he struck me as a crybaby who whined at the slightest nudge by a defensive player. He may make no difference in Chicago and he make make a ton of difference, time will tell.
As for the Broncos, they shipped off their Probowl QB for Kyle Orton? They do realize that he was really just a seat warmer in Chicago right? His job was simply to avoid making mistakes, not to make plays. How in the world do they expect him to step in and make plays in a offense that was centered around a mobile QB being able to find receivers? Chris Simms may see some playing time after all.
Then again, the Broncos now have the 18th overall pick to go with their 12th. The scuttlebut is that this places the Broncos in good position to make a grab for USC QB Mark Sanchez. Sanchez is athletic and has a strong enough arm to be a good fit in the type of offense Josh McDaniels will bring to the Broncos. However, Sanchez is not a QB that is projected to be a first year starter though, most scouts have his best case scenario as being a starter after being given one more year to mature. If that's the case than the Broncos maybe conceding the fact that they are going from contending for a devision title with Cutler, to rebuilding without him, something I'm sure Broncos fans aren't happy to hear.
Any thoughts?
