SAY WHAT??????

Early on this afternoon I thought the Broncos had lost their minds and had gotten taken by the Bears in the Jay Cutler trade. It appeared to me that they just were so done with Cutler that they were trying to just get anything. I mean this was one of the top offenses in the league the last 2 years. They were really just a few big time play makers on Defense away from being a contender. Granted they need some more pieces on offense too, but they were not that far away. They were poised to make some strides in the draft, but now this?

Well, that was before the full details of the trade were out.

Are you kidding me? The Bears must really think Cutler is the best QB EVER. So they gave the Broncos a 1st round pick this year and next year. We knew that was their stated price all along, no biggie. Wait, then more came out. They also got Kyle Orton. OK so, Orton is no real prize, but he was a starting QB in the league last year. Wait? What, there is more? Your kidding????? The Broncos also got the Bears third round pick this year, WOW! A third round pick is huge, and very good players can be picked up there. The Broncos did have to give the Bears a 5th round compensation pick this year, but in my opinion the made out like bandits.

So, you pick up a QB in the draft as your "Future". You muddle by with Simms or Orton this year and pick up a bunch of talent in the draft this year and next. They also have the a bunch of picks to trade with to move up in this year's draft if they want. For example, if McDaniels has a man crush on Sanchez from USC like he does on Matt Cassell, he can trade up and get him. If he does, watch out for these guys right away. What started off as a big mess has just turned into the jackpot.

As for Cutler, he got out of town like he wanted. I'm just not sure being a part of the hapless Bears is any better. They could now be contenders with him though so watch out for them too.

One more thing. I hope Jay Cutler is happy with what he asked for. One thing Denver did have was a decent Offensive line that gave him time to work and protected him. Now he moves to the bears who didn't have a great O-Line to begin with and recently dismantled it. I hope you like the view of the sky from your back Jay.

Man I love the NFL.

That's what's rolling around in the DOME for now!
