I am literally shaking right now, yes its that big of an announcement, at least for me. Although I cant say anything until the official report has been “declassified” if you will, I will say that it is something that has never happened on any card blog in history. I was just given the details a few hours ago, and I literally could not be more excited.
Well, the Bears win the Cutler sweepstakes, and it will either make their franchise a contender for years to come, or cripple them completely, there is no in between here. They paid a HUGE-MUNGOUS price for him, giving up two first rounders AND Kyle Orton, which to me is pretty much mortgaging the future on a fourth year QB. Usually these things never take a middle of the road results sheet with them to the annals of history. I think its the right thing to do if you are in desperate need of a QB, but the Bears really werent. Thats why I would have passed.
Cutler looks to be great, he has had some good years in denver, but has shown a weird attitude in addition to the talent. This was only the latest in a long string of weird situations surrounding him. Remember the whole confrontation with Rivers? How weird is that for NFL QBs? It usually only happens with WRs and CBs telling each other that they cant cover one another.
Either way, it makes the Bears that much more of a possible threat, and makes that defense much more scary with an Offense that can score. If they have a good rest of the draft, it could be devastating to the NFC North.
Only time will tell.
