I wouldn't give Cutler $100 million, but $75 million/7 or something like that? Sure.
Resigning Alex Smith is going to take you at least into that territory in AAV. They're the same age, Cutler is a better QB, and Cutler's skill set is going to age better than Alex Smith's (since Cutler doesn't rely on his legs at all).

Sorry, I can't get with that. JC has proven he capable of being ok when everything is prefect, but with this O-line he would have played 1 or 2 games tops. He doesn't rely on his legs because he doesn't have them.
There are QB's better AS, sure but I don't see any as real options for KC right now.
