His rating was a nice 84.3, Cutler was only 2 percent more....right? so my point is for those who think Cutler is a lights out QB are only fooling themselves when you look at the fact JC had similar stats. All the Skins were doing by trying to pick up Cutler was make a lateral move. I mean it's not like we were trying for Bradey.

I think you are very balanced with your Campbell analysis; I just want to know what the rankings you cite are using to rank. The sentence, "Campbell is ranked 26th by statistics" is problematic.

I'm on your side in Campbell and Cutler analysis, the difference is more marketing than actual play on the field. You simply wouldn't give up one to get the other, if there weren't external factors. But most measures don't see Orton as anywhere near the level of Cutler or Campbell, but he's ranked 24th in something, so I was just trying to figure out what.
