I know I’m Johnny-Come-Lately to the party but it I finally got around to the Bears trading for Jay Cutler of the Broncos for two 1st round draft picks a 3rd round pick and QB Kyle Orton. Let me be the first to openly admit that I was very critical of the way Jay Cutler handled the situation in Denver and the way he interacted with new Head Coach Josh McDaniels. I know that Cutler is a talented QB and has proven his abilities on the field but when I found out of the trade I had mixed feelings about it. I didn’t know whether to be happy or pissed about it but soon became pleased with the move. I was looking forward to seeing just what Kyle Orton had to offer in his first full season of being named the starter without having to worry about Rex Grossman coming in for him if he made too many mistakes. I truly feel that Denver will continue to mold Orton into a formidable quarterback that will one day return to Chicago and beat the hell out of us.
I also feel that Josh McDaniels has a lot of growing up to do with the way he conducted himself during this whole fiasco. I feel that he is the ultimate reason for Cutler leaving the Broncos and that McDaniels will find himself being ousted in Denver within 3-4 seasons. He doesn’t seem very ready to take the reins of a football team mentally or maturely. He seems very Sophomoric and just because he’s learned under Bill Belichick doesn’t mean that he will have the same success. I don’t wish him any ill will but I know he will eventually pain himself into a corner and pay the ultimate price. Good luck to the Denver Broncos with Kyle Orton as QB and I am very anxious for the NFL Draft to see what the Bears will do with their remaining picks as well as the start of the upcoming season!!!
GO BEARS GO!!!!
