Say what you will, but Shanny figured a way to draft a potentially franchise QB while fielding a playoff team. His idea appears to be two years in the making, forgoing his first round draft choice last year in order to have two this year. Then with loads of draft picks in his larder making a series of trades to move up to the number 11 spot to take Cutler. Not genius, just good planning to fill a recognized need under circumstances in which you normally wouldn't have the opportunity. Then picking up a pro-bowl WR (another need) to boot. Smart moves. Now I'm left hoping Cutler never pans out, cause if he does he'll be a royal pain in our butt for a long time to come.
