The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Even Luck is not a lock. I think most fans want RGIII, me included, but there's nothing wrong with being worried about what he will cost. If we give up 4 or more high picks, and he doesn't pan out we're going to be in for some next level pain and misery.

Couldn't see us giving up four or more high draft picks. It took three to pull off the ElI Manning/Philip Rivers trade.

Count me in on the "let's go get our qb at whatever cost" bandwagon. The NFL today is a qb driven league, and we don't have one. Let's not settle this time.

I feel like a lot of people have changed their opinion on the whole trade picks to get your QB idea. I don't remember such a groundswell of support for Cutler

No, there was much much more debate about a Cutler deal.

And I have changed my tune. I thought before that we needed to create more depth, make a real team. Even then I argued mildly for a Bradford draft trade-up. Now, it seems to me, is the time to add the most important piece. The supporting cast is not the best but it is not bad either. It's time to add the lynchpin.

RG3 is way better than Cutler.

Cutler? WTF? lol. No I don't think so. Picking up Cutler would remind me too much of Grossman2, Orton would be Grossman3. I'm sure stats will be thrown my way but why would we want another Chicago reject?

I'd actually rather trade draft picks for Brian Hoyer back up to Brady in NE, or Flynn. I think the team will try to make a run a Flynn especially if he's a FA (which I think he will be). Neither has played much and they are somewhat unknown compared to Cutler, but atleast they were sitting behind bonified QB's learning what it takes and how to play instead of being thrown on the field to learn by themselves which hasn't really done them a great service.

A) When did he say Cutler was coming here now? That was from 2 years ago and B) Don't insult Cutler by calling him Grossman2

Smoots comment might have been refering to two yrs ago, but recently Cutlers name came up yet again on this site. Something about the coaching staff supposedly wanting him two yrs ago and might still want him and try for him again.

and to be honest... I don't see much difference between the two. Insult or not he's not that much better in my book which is why he was traded away. For me Grossman, Orton, and Cutler all having played for the Bears and having been benched, traded, or whatever are all pretty much the same. I'd rather we pass and go for some other teams QB's.

Not me...but your right. I wanted the Cutler trade and 90% of the people on here told me I was crazy. And now several years later we still have no QB...

I haven't changed Smooty.
