but the trade was not made. Everyone's happy for different reasons. Lets move on.

Well Cutler threw for nearly 1300 more yards, and almost doubled campbells total tds (27 to 14). Of course Cutler had 10 more turnovers (23 to 13), and had the same comp%, but cutler edged campbell in rating by 1.7. But who among us would not want the 1300 or so more yards and the 13 more tds?
That being said, we CERTAINLY should agree that to make that move would have hurt us in the long run. Cutler IS better, no question, but the move would not have made sense for us. I just found it funny that Cutler comes out of the gate with a new team and knowing half the playbook, does poorly and a thread saying "cutler sucks donkey" appears. But when he does VERY well vs the STEELERS no one says a word until after I bring it up. However, Campbell is on pace for 8 tds and 16 turnovers and BARELY beat the lowly Rams, yet we still are thinking Campbell and Cutler are somehow similar. Pfff. Of course I do feel bad for Campbell, HE WILL be the scapegoat for our offensive woes, and he WILL be run out of town if this continues to happen when in fact it's clearly a coaching issue coupled by the lack of Campbell to see the field in the redzone. If Campbell produced just 2 tds out of our 4 redzone trips, this would all be moot...but he didn't.
Sorry for the rant, point is, Cutler DOES NOT SUCK DONKEY.
