They both sucked. The difference is that Cassel's suckiness cost the Chiefs a second round draft choice, whereas Cutler's suckiness cost the Bears two first-round picks and a third-round pick. Chicago got Denver's fifth-round pick along with Cutler.

There is no comparison. Chicago paid WAY TOO MUCH for Cutler. If the Chiefs had given up 3 high draft choices (including two first-rounders) for a quarterback who sucked anywhere near the way those two guys sucked, CHIEFSPLANET would have melted down by now, and Scott Pioli would have been lynched.

The difference is that Cutler has proven he can excel in the league on a mediocre at best team. He had a bad year but is far from done. Cassel has only proven that he can be a mediocre QB on an exceptional team and a piss poor QB on a piss poor team. At this point I would gladly give up what Chicago did to get a proven franchise QB in their prime.
