Give it up to Jerry Angelo, ladies and gents....he actually followed through on what he said!
Hopefully for the last time, here are the terms of the deal (from the Sun-Times)
Broncos Get:
- Kyle Orton
- Two 1st round picks (2009 and 2010)
- 3rd round pick (2009)
Bears Get:
- Jay Cutler
- 5rd round pick (2009).
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We actually got a QB?
UPDATE @ 5:16 PM: ESPN is reporting the Bears just signed Orlando Pace. Links are coming soon.

I know
who would’ve thought it’d actually happen.
so glad its no longer the 1st. this’d be a really cruel April Fools joke.

Denver wins.
Everyone is so hyped up on Jay, but Kyle is a winner and not a whiner. Hyped up and hard-working— they both were, but thick skinned defines Orton from Cutler. The Broncos end up getting a steal in this deal because of the draft picks involved. If Cutler lives up to Jeff George potential, then Denver wins big. If he lives up to Elway hype, then Denver breaks even. The Bears paid too much. Almost 20 years ago the Vikings wanted their FRANCHISE to be Herschel Walker. He was good, but no where near the talent that Emmitt Smith was—-plus Aikman and Irvin and the decade of Cowboys dominance that ensued because of the draft picks that were part of the deal. I am not saying that Josh McDaniels can draft as smart as Jimmy Johnson, but here is his chance. Dominate or Decimate.

Careful what u wish for
He’ll drive ninety-five yards down the field, and then throw a heartbreaker end-zone pick. That’s why his yardage totals are so high, with low win-loss pct. Plus he’s such a whiner and a bigger lush than orton.

Bigger?
Bigger lush than Orton. That’s just crazy talk. Haha.

His 28th ranked defense didnt effect his win-loss total at all...
There was an incident a few years ago. The Bulls were killing the Knicks, scrubs were playing out the clock, and the fans were screaming at them to score 100 points for free Big Macs. They took a ton of shots, Knicks took offense and they tried to fight some Bulls players.

I have to
leave my office to do work and I get home turn on ESPN and all of the sudden….. I see Cutler goes to Bears. No F’in way. And then I see we got Pace to, well i’ll be damned Jerry. Now figure out how to get me us a receiver and I’ll leave you alone for the rest of the offseason. Wow….
If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.

Trade terms
think we got a great trade value…..no real Qb in this years draft and possibly next years and we land better talent in the later rounds. Cutler has only been in the league for three years and he has already broken most of the Bears QB records. YOUNG GUN! thats what im screamin

PTI says
Orton, 2 1st rounders
I really don’t think that was smart for the Bears if that is the case IMO.

why not?
We haven’t had a true starting quarterback in two decades.
In that time, we’ve had plenty of draft picks, and see how they’ve worked out? Sometimes teams need to give up a lot to get what will eventually win them championships. This is a risk we had to take. For people like me who are in their twenties, we can finally see what it’s like to have legitimate quarterback play for the Bears.

I think Washington was offering 2 1st rounder and Jason Campbell.
Leave it to Snyder to drive up the cost. Well worth it for the Bears. No need for musical chairs at QB any more, which will free up our draft choices for the next 8-10 years.

true that
It’s the late rounds when the Bears shine in drafting players, I’m not too mad about two first rounders gone. Besides, look even at the last year, Chris Williams didn’t do much for the Bears whereas the second round pick (Matt Forte) was amazing.

Since JA is so suspect in the 1st round, we basically got a Pro-Bowl QB for our two 1st round “crapshoots.”

… “a complete steal.” The Bears gave up a lot.
But it is still probably a good deal, just not a “steal.”

by GallopingGhost on Apr 2, 2009 4:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Orton
He ran a type of spread offense at Purdue. He’s a decent QB, with some upside. He’s very poised in the pocket, and seemed to make good audible changes at the line. I can see you guys drafting Sanchez now, and have a nice QB competition.

He has a decent shot.
He was pretty solid from game 4-10 before he got injured. Then he looked pretty bad. He should improve this year after all the game experience he got last year. He can’t throw deep, but he can dink and dunk well. He made some game winning drives too.
He did that without very good receivers, so I definitely think experience and Marshall and Royall should help him a lot.
I think it is a 50/50 chance. He’ll be learning a new system, should be a little better, not injured, and has more weapons.
Kick it to me... I'm open!

true, but his stats were not that great toward the end
I think he’ll be serviceable, but nothing as big as Cutler

Denver's Offensive Personnel is better than the Bears
I would expect Orton’s stats to get a boost. He should do ok.

Royal is due for a sophmore slump
and isn’t Marshall facing a suspension for off the field stuff?

Royal will be fine
But B-Marsh is probably getting suspended for getting into a fight, IN FRONT of the cops, with his girlfriend…Huge talent, piece of work :(
We’ll miss Cutler!

Question:
I have you guys with the #84 and a compensatory pick int eh 3rd. Is that all you have in that round? That would make the 3rd you are giving up the #84, since comps can’t be traded.

the #5 you will get is #140 overall (we got it form seattle and it is better than our other fifth)

he played in 14 games and only gave up 2 sacks last year. Either way our o-line improved at the very least with depth

Great deal
It’s so hard to find a good QB in the NFL… Cutler is your starter for the next 10 years at least.
62% Completion 4500 yards passing… definitely worth two first rounders.
Chiefs had two first rounders and three third rounders after the Jared Allen trade last year, and went 2-14. Draft picks don’t mean anything when you can have a proven QB instead.

If he can stay around 3,500 - 4,000 and 20-25 TD's and knock off 6 of those INT's, he's star.

What's that? Running deep and catching game-breaking TD's?
Wait, that’s two.
Cutler can throw the deep ball as well as Grossman and he is more accurate on the shorter and intermediate throws. It’s hard to catch the ball when it’s thrown 5 yards in front of you.

Berrians a "go" route guy
thats all i’ve ever seen him do consistantly and successfully.
but i don’t care he’s gone and stuck in the s hole of a dome. lets find someone else who can catch and run a little.
super bowl, super bears!

you are half-blind, so it's understandable that's all you've seen him do.
I remember this one catch, falling out of bounds, in the red zone….

consistantly
he’s a deep ball guy. he does occassionally do other routes, but i’ve never seen him run them consistantly.
but whatever that was 2 years ago. time to find a replacement for him.
