So what value do you assign to Cutler? He was drafted, where, 11? So you say this is a bad trade because you consider him worth more than the, what do you say it's the equivalent of, the 7th pick in the draft?

I guess you just rate Cutler as more valuable than I do. I think Denver was lucky to get what they did in the trade climate recently. Two firsts for any player is a huge deal.

In my opinion, of course.

In the end this perception the day of won't matter anyway. If Cutler really is a franchise QB and the last piece the Bears need, it'll have been worth it for them. If the Broncos use the picks as a strong foundation that propels them back to the top of the conference, it'll have been worth it for them. Who knows what's going to happen; I think history will ultimately determine the winner. But today, I think they both won, and my personal opinion is that we'll be wishing Cutler was still a Bronco two or three years from now.
