It's Over: Cutler Going to Chicago

[53Fan]

Where did you see he was shopped around to the whole league? I've heard of one official from another team say he was contacted. That's it.

It would be interesting to know what we offered Denver.

i would guess we tried
1) JC, this years 1st and next years 2nd
2) or JC, this years 1st and next years 1st; broncos wanted more than 2 1st rounders, we wouldnt accomodate but the bears did with 2 1st rounders and a 3rd?

im just happy we got outbid, seems the broncos really know how to leverage deals against other interested teams.

go skins!!

I have a feeling our best offer would have been Jason Campbell and two firsts and hopefully we didn't even go that far because it would have been a horrendous mistake!

Either way Dan Snyder has officially gone from decent owner because he spends so much money on the team to complete moron status IMO.

agree with you GM, after hearing all these radio experts making a big deal out of cutler being too sensitive i still havent heard one person make a comparison to how campbell has handled the situation like a professional and i think the speculation of him getting traded was far more extensive . . . wheres the praise for campbell handling this like a professional should outside of washington?

go skins!!

Mike and Mike gave JC alot of praise this moring on how he handled it like a professional. So did Colin Cowherd.

it's been on ESPN since yesterday, many of the commentators were saying cutler should see how campbell handled it.. others praising his demeanor, etc

are you watching anything outside of washington? haha

dangit, i woke up late as hell today (dont use an alarm clock but go by how light it is outside, didnt know there was a black rain cloud over bmore so what looked like 6:30 am was really 8:30 am) but caught about a half hour of cowherd and only heard cutler bashing . . . plus, i think i say this too much on here, i dont have damn cable!

well im glad JC gets credit where credit is due, thank you and skinsgirl for updating me, i thought this was yet another example of media going crazy over a negative story and giving a lil blurb to an apposite positive one.

go skins!!

I've heard the one team report and I also read teams plural yesterday. im on my phone so I can't do tons of web searching. in any case, we know the skins wanted cutler bad - do you really think they only called one team?
as far as saying a "measly" 2nd rounder - a 2nd rounder is NOTHING for a franchise QB and its not much for a starting QB - that's all I meant.

Thank you, Bears!!!!!



Wow, they got screwed with how much they gave up for a player who may not want to play for them next year. They better stock up on baby powder and Dum-Dums.

Yea, i considered starting a "is JC going to still be traded" thread. It's worthy of discussion b/c it's fairly evident that the decision makers (Vin and Dan) don't think too highly of Mr. Campbell. They may feel that this bridge is burned. If JC doesn't have a good year, he's gone. If he does have a good year, he may not want to come back.

So, that begs the question would they take a 2nd rounder for JC and let TC's play QB this year. It's not so crazy enough not to ask. For this franchise nothing is beyond discussion.

The above is an economic principle known as the Winner's Curse. The Bears are the unquestioned winner of the Jay Cutler sweepstakes. And because of it, it costs them a lot more wins in the long run (theoretically, assuming that they draft at an average success rate), then it would have to lose out to the Redskins on this one.

[GTripp0012]

The only teams who trade draft picks, in any form, are teams that think they are close. Which team that honestly believes they have no QB on their roster that can play honestly thinks they are close to the playoffs?
