Can you at least try to leave things in context? I mean, what are you trying to say when you argue that a Cutler for Campbell and a first round pick is actually just Cutler for a first round pick? You are purely speculating that Campbell won't be here next year (2010). If you are predicting that, fine, just don't extrapolate that to the next level and say he has zero value in a trade that actually involves him.
Your argument has zero basis in reality. Read through it again. It's based on like four different unlikelyhoods/unsupported statements:
1) Campbell is a bad fit for our system
2) Anyone who makes one pro-bowl automatically becomes "proven."
3) Campbell has no trade value...let's trade him!
4) Cutler is a winner, despite all evidence to the contrary
And then there's the one false statement, that Campbell has a great supporting cast. Samuels is our best lineman, but he only played in 12 games last year, and about 7 of those, he was hurt. Cooley is our best offensive player, but he had a rough year last year. Portis had a heck of a half season, but I'm not sure how that helps the passing game. Sellers had a nice year receiving passes, but that only happened like 15 times all year.
Meanwhile, once you look deeper than pro-bowls, you have Moss and Randle El, who are very underwhelming as a receiving tandem, an offensive line that includes Rabach and Jansen, not to mention R. Thomas' horiffic year, started Jason Fabini for two weeks at RT, and started Stephon Heyer for 7 weeks, and oh yeah, had the worst set of third receivers in the entire NFL.

are you serious? worst set of third receivers in the NFL. Since you criticize me for not qualifying my statements, how do you qualify that?
Youve taken everything ive said out of context. Its widely accepted that Campbell is a bad fit for our system and ive argued that point in various threads. You talk about our team as if its complete garbage, but its not. Its a very average team overall, but certainly a better team than Denver. I said Campbell had no value to US because we will most certainly let him walk next year... he has value to other teams running other systems, which is why we could get something for him now. And what evidence do you have that Cutler is not a winner? hes a great quarterback on a horrible team who made his teammates look better. Contrast that with Campbell - an average quarterback on an average team who doesnt fit the system and doesnt make anyone around him better. Cutler would be a better fit for this team.
