  1. Interesting that Angelo would wait till so close to the draft to finally start playing the free agent game. But whatever works.
  2. Hmmm...Dan Pompei says the Bears have 8 picks... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-03-bears-mock-draft,0,7832468.htmlstory Round 2, 17th pick, 49th overall Round 3, 35th pick, 99th overall Round 4, 19th pick, 119th overall Round 5, 4th pick, 140th overall Round 5, 18th pick, 154th overall Round 6, 17th pick, 190th overall Round 7, 37th pick, 246th overall Round 7, 42nd pick, 251st overall
  3. I completely agree with you, and if that had been what Schlereth was saying, I'd agree with you. Schlereth outright said this trade makes the Bears a worse team, which is patently ridiculous.
  4. 7 picks. But still, they lost 2 of the top 3 potential guys they could get. I think they continue to bolster the offense in the draft and hope that Marinelli and Lovie can turn around the defense. Well lets pretend for a second that Cutler is in the draft, and we just spent the #18 pick on him. So really, you're only "losing" one pick this year in my mind... Getting away from that a second though, I wonder...what are the chances now that Rex signs as backup? He's still out there. And there'd be no QB controversy with Cutler there.
  5. I love Dilfer talking about all these holes we needed to fill with the picks we gave up. Don't we still have like 8 draft picks? Jersey is conspicuous in his absence.
  6. I wonder if they're really buying into that "quarterback record" thing. If they are, I think it's BS. As useless as measure pitchers by wins and losses.
  7. People on broncoforums.com hate this deal.
  8. Who would've thought that there would be an Orton vs Simms QB battle, that didn't involve the Chicago Bears? This is so fantastic. Way to steal the opening weekend spotlight from baseball, Bears.
  9. Don Bank's latest mock draft has the Bears taking Peria Jerry DT out of Ole Miss. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/don_banks/04/02/mock2/index.html
  10. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4034863 Could we keep Cutler AND Orton? Can you put Orton as a backup at this point? That'd be kind of a dick move.
  11. Are you talking about Quinn, Rogers and picks for Cutler. I didn't believe that for a second. Even if the Browns didn't have a decent QB, I'm not sure if I'd trade Rogers for Cutler straight up. He eats QB's for breakfast. No, I had posted what I read online somewhere else about a 3-way trade that had Cutler to the Bears, Peppers to Denver, and Bears 1st and 3rd to Carolina. Man I would jump on that deal is a hurry if that was true. With that said, if the Bears decide the price is too high to pay for Cutler (if Angelo doesn't think Cutler is worth acquiring then I am sorry Angelo will never actively upgrade the QB position as long as he is here), what about tossing a 2nd rder to Washington for Jason Campbell? If you don't get Cutler, I'd rather not worry about QB this season at this point. Cutler is a big enough upgrade to go through the trouble. Not Campbell.
  12. CNNsi.com has the Cubs winning the division, beating the Phillies in the Division Series, and losing the Mets in the NLCS, with the Mets beating the Angels in the WS. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/03/30/scouting.reports/index.html?eref=T1 Any others out there yet?
  13. Most of what I've been hearing is a three-way with the Browns. Team A, let's say, is acquiring Cutler. So it goes like this: Team A receives Cutler and gives up draft picks Cleveland gives up Brady Quinn to Denver and receives draft picks Denver gives up Cutler to Cleveland and receives draft picks I could see some combination of that working well. Denver keeps a good QB with potential (don't forget that McDaniels has ties to Charlie Weiss, who loved Quinn at ND), Cleveland has its unquestioned starting QB and gets picks and Team A has its franchise QB minus a good number of picks. That I could understand, but most "which team will get Cutler" articles include the Browns pretty highly... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/don_banks/04/01/cutler-destinations/index.html#?eref=T1 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afcwest/0-3-1884/Where-could-Cutler-end-up-.html
  14. I don't understand all the Browns talk...they have two QB's...how many do they need? I mean, I get they'd be trading one in the package for Cutler, but still...they don't seem to have a big QB need.
  15. Dang...this thread is outta control. I've got a busy day at work, don't look for a couple hours, and we got 2 whole pages of new posts? Crazy...
  16. Cutler = Peavy?
  17. I highly doubt that. Some in the media have already gone on record saying they don't want that crybaby/quitter on the team. I'm sure there's a significant portion of the fan base that doesn't have any interest in "some primadona QB". Which is hilarious. Some caller on the Score this morning compared Cutler to Jeff George...but come on...this is one team that he's had an issue with...not like 8.
  18. Ugh. I had 3 of the final four right on my bracket. The one I missed....Louisville. And I had them winning it all. Man that's annoying.
  19. I wonder if Sean Marshall is going to be auditioning for a San Diego starting job for the first couple months of the season.
  20. Bears offered $4.5 million over 3 years, and he got $9 million over 3 years from Cleveland. Bye bye.
  21. Yeah, the real issue is that Denver will need a QB. So I think Orton would have to be in any deal. Orton, Urlacher and a 2nd for Cutler sounds like something I could live with.
  22. ESPN.com thinks the NFC north would be a good fit, and analyzes how Cutler would fit with Chicago, Detroit, or Minny
  23. Orton + first round pick? I'm awful at these proposals...I have no idea what market value is...
