Jay Cutler Traded to Chicago Bears


It has finally happen, the Denver Broncos have traded away their unhappy franchise quarterback Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Kyle Orton and two first round draft picks.

I have to say that the Broncos might have dropped the ball on this deal. Kyle Orton is a decent quarterback with possible Pro Bowl potential, but he is no Jay Cutler. The only way I see the Broncos coming out on top of this deal is if they make those draft picks count and pick up some key players in key positions.

So the Cutler era in Denver is officially over Broncos fans so get used to hearing "Orton throws another interceptions and the Broncos another one".

I hate to say it, but it will be the beginning of yet another rebuilding process in Denver. Just when everything looked like it was coming together in Denver, the roof collapsed in and it is time to rebuild.

Maybe Kyle Orton will surprise us all. Not like there is lack of offensive weapons at his disposal with Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall leading the way, but I get the feeling next season will be a rough one for the Broncos.

The baby got his wish.

Very surprising move. How do you think Jay Cutler will fair in Chicago? I don't know if he can take criticism very well, may not be a good fit. Plus no WRs to throw to!

Orton has great WRs to throw to. Do you think the Broncos will trade him before the draft, and maybe trade up their two first rounders and get a Sanchez, Stafford?
