JAY CUTLER NOW A CHICAGO BEAR

[angryoldman]

TweetDude, I'm F'N jealous.
I would have traded McNabb for Cutler straight up. But, Da Bears landed the great Cutler. In return for Jay Cutler, the QB with the strongest arm in the NFL today.... the Broncos get Kyle Orton. The man with the most innacurate arm in the NFL. And Da Bears first round draft pick. Geeze, wonder who made out on that deal?

[gator_mclusky]

TweetSorry brudda but strongest arm goes to Jamarcus Russell. 70 yards on his knees!

BUT I love seeing the Denver Donkeys get an avg. QB at best!!!! And we Raiders face them twice a yr. We will rip his head off and kick it to the sidelines!!!!!!

Great for Chi Town fans!!!!!!!!!

Which is good, because Russell will be spending a lot of time on his knees with Al Davis, if he wants a permanent starting position.

TweetHoly crap! Two first round pics, a third and a starting QB? Orton will be the next Drew Brees. Chicago got robbed!!! If Im a Bronco fan, Im dancing in the street!

It will be years before chicago can put an offense around cutler...lol

Cutler, Ron Turner Have Rocky History
Posted by Aaron Wilson on April 3, 2009, 12:47 p.m.

Newly-acquired Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is known for holding a grudge, and he still seems to be holding one against Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner stemming from an old recruiting dispute, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Citing people close to Cutler and a Denver Post column, some fences may need to be mended between Cutler and Turner now that they’re going to work together.

As a high school senior in southern Indiana, Cutler accepted a scholarship to Illinois where Turner was the head coach at the time. Cutler committed without visiting campus, though, and when he arrived for an official visit Turner reportedly pulled the offer.

“When Jay went for his official visit, the coach told him they were rescinding the offer because they had some hot-shot quarterback from California,” Heritage Hills athletic director Jay Burch told Denver Post columnist Woody Paige.

Illinois wound up signing Mike Dlugolecki, who wound up transferring to San Diego State. And Cutler had turned down offers from Purdue, Duke and Maryland to go to Illinois before winding up at Vanderbilt.

“It’s not right,” Jake Cutler, Cutler’s father, told ESPN.com. “I still have a bitter taste in my mouth.”

In the past, Turner has denied that Illinois rescinded the scholarship offer because Cutler was never made an offer.

Obviously, they’ll need to rehearse their lines a bit before the press conference today.

[Dzone]

Tweet^lmao...not a Cutler hater, just dont like him. Not many people do like him. Peeps in Chicago arent going to like his arrogant attitude either. Chicago has gambled away their future on this guy. They have their quarterback but nothing else but maybe an aging Urlacher. Cutler wasnt ev en in the top half for qb rating. He had the best recievers in football.

Two first round picks, a three and Kyle Orton for Cutler and a fifth? Come on! If denver lands Rey Maualuga and BJ Raji, then theres two all pro defenders right there. Even Mike Ditka said Chicago gave away too much for Cutler.

Jay Cutler no answer to Chicago Bears' woes
Huddle up? Not with this confused quarterback

Rick Morrissey | In the wake of the news
April 3, 2009

If Jay Cutler doesn't raise red flags, Bears fans, you are color blind. From all appearances and indications, he has the maturity level of larva.

Two weeks ago, he demanded the Broncos trade him. On Wednesday, he said he had wanted to stay with the Broncos all along.

On Friday, I'm guessing he will say he's ecstatic about the Bears and deep-dish pizza.

This is exactly the kind of steely resolve you want in your huddle, isn't it?

Do you like the Cutler trade?

The Bears traded Kyle Orton and two-first round picks for Pro-Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler. What do you think?
They got a Pro Bowl quarterback! I love it! They should've stuck with Orton. They gave up too much.

Well, you're about to get it. The Bears on Thursday traded their first- and third-round picks this year, their first-round pick next year and Kyle Orton to the Broncos in exchange for Cutler, a 2009 fifth-round pick and a six-pack of baby formula.

Here's hoping Cutler gets his act together, but the past month hasn't been what anyone would call "good."

Mind-set is extremely important in the NFL, and no one seems to have any clue what Cutler's is. On Wednesday, he talked with FoxSports.com, and it was as if he said, A guy demands to be traded and people actually take him seriously!

"I was surprised they decided to trade me this soon," he said before the deal was struck. "I didn't want to get traded. This wasn't me. [The Broncos] had been going back and forth saying things, wanting me to be their quarterback and then they didn't.

"I really didn't want this. I love Denver. I really like my teammates. I didn't want it to get this far."

This has to be a land-speed record for revisionist history.

Let's try to recall the chain of events. Cutler was severely miffed when the Broncos' new coach included him in a proposed deal that would have brought then-New England quarterback Matt Cassel to Denver. Cutler pouted that the Broncos said bad things about him. Cutler insisted that he be traded.

More recently, he expressed surprise at the turn of events that put him on the trading block. He also said Denver never tried calling him over a 10-day span ending Tuesday, to which Broncos owner Pat Bowlen reportedly said: Would you care to see the telephone records?

And Cutler is the guy you want in your huddle, Bears fans?

If the Broncos wanted to punish him, they succeeded. They traded him to the Bears. He will get here and wonder where the Chicago versions of Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal are. And then general manager Jerry Angelo will have to put an arm around him and inform him the Bears don't have any wide receivers.

John Elway in his prime would have a hard time succeeding with this group.

All we have heard the past few weeks is Cutler is better than Orton. And it's true he's more talented. But I'll say it until I'm navy blue in the face: The Bears need wide receivers, not a quarterback. It's why some of us were willing to put up with Terrell Owens. Putting up with Cutler doesn't sound fun or necessary.

That didn't stop the lust for him from reaching levels that would make Pamela Anderson blush. Few people in Chicago want to look beyond his gaudy stats. In the last three games of 2008, all losses, he threw two touchdown passes and four interceptions. The Broncos had a three-game division lead with three games left and didn't make the playoffs.

Cutler was upset new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels showed him no respect. The quarterback forgot two things. First, he has been a starter for only two years in the NFL. Second, everyone in the league is a commodity and subject to the whims of the people who sign the paychecks.

It's not personal. It's business.

When it comes to throwing yourself at the Next Big Thing, Chicago is no different than any other city. Fans couldn't wait for Rex Grossman to get a chance. Then they couldn't wait for Orton to get a chance. Remember all the gushing over Orton last season until he hurt his ankle? And now fans can't wait for somebody else. Until another somebody else walks by.

The Bears decided they had to get the quarterback position right. Translation: Angelo wasn't sold on Orton and didn't want to pay him. He's about to pay Cutler a lot of money to be the leader on offense.

And those wide receivers the Bears desperately need—where will they come from when there are no draft picks or money?

Cutler said he loved everything about Denver, including the fans and his teammates. Yet he wanted out at the first hint of trouble. Why should anyone believe it will be different in Chicago?

PLEASE EVERYONE LOOK BACK AT THE BEARS SEASON AND IT WAS ORTON HIMSELF WHO THREW INT'S TO LOSE ABOUT 4-5 GAMES FOR THE BEARS OR THEY WOULD OF BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS. THE BEARS ARE A RUNNING TEAM THEY ARE FINE WITH WIDE RECEIVERS.MY GOD DOESNT ANYONE KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE CHICAGO BEARS.


AND Rick Morrissey IS A IDIOT WHO ONLY STARTS CONTROVERSY FOR HIS COLUMN IN THE PAPER. IF YA DONT LIVE HERE OR FOLLOW THE BEARS THEN YOU JUST DONT KNOW

The Bears need wide receivers, not a quarterback

EVERYONE KNOWS YOU BULD AROUND A QB NOT AROUND WIDE RECEIVERS. AS MUXCH AS I WANTED REX TO WIN HE COULDNT THE SAME WITH ORTON. ORTONS RECORD IS SO GOOD BECAUSE THE BEARS DEFENSE WON ALOT OF GAMES FOR ORTON.PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOME HISTORY RESEARCH AND YOU WILL KNOW. THE BEARS GOT THE BETTER DEAL.

Why should anyone believe it will be different in Chicago?

MORRISY IS A **** BOTTOM LINE. CUTLER WILL LOVE CHICAGO THE TEAM WILL LOVE HIM AND IF HE DOES GET OUT OF LINE THEY WILL BEAT HIM .
