Breaking News: Bears Get Cutler AND Pace!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Price is high, but not awful. This draft isn’t so strong so it’s probably just as well to trade picks out of it. 2 #1s seems right, but I wish the other pick would have been a 4th or 5th instead. Oh well, deal with it.

I'll say it again....
I’ve watched Cutler here in the NFC West for a while now, and just don’t think he’s that great. He’s never lead a team to even the playoffs, so I’d say he’s far from a franchise player.
It hurts my team (Chargers) that Denver now has 4 first rounders over the next 2 years to improve with. I’d rather they were still stuck with Cutler.
Still, I wish the Bears the best. I like Chicago. Hopefully all 4 of those picks suck!

leading to team to the playoffs is easier when you

Dude SD and Denver play in the
AFC West. What kind of fan does not know what division his team plays in. Typical Dolt Fan.
As A Bronco Fan I am Sad today but good luck bears you have a QB now with a ton of talent but he may not have the mental side. I am happy we have 4 first round picks that could possible turn into more picks.

To All the Jay Cutler Went 17-20 as a starter people....
He has gone 13 – 1 when defense holds opposition to 21 pts or less, time to lock it down D.
by BearsfanstuckinSea on Apr 2, 2009 5:54 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Not to rain on the parade....
But that’s kind of a silly stat. Most QB’s are winners if the other team doesn’t score 21. Kyle Orton was 6-1 last year when the other team scored less than 21.
by poryorick on Apr 2, 2009 6:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The stat you do not see
is in 6 or 7 of those losses where the opponent scored more then 21 Cutler threw a Pick 6. If cutler does not throw that Pick six in those games the D hold the other team to under 21 points and the Broncos win. Cutler was a big reason in those 20 losses.

Cutler to Hester - Pitch & Catch
Cutler uses his rocket arm to throw deep to speedster Hester. One of four possibilities:
1. Completition – Very Good
2. Pass Interference – Very Good (Same as #1)
3. Incompletition- No big deal
4. Interception – Even if this happens, the ball is 50 yards downfield.
The odds are in our favor!

He said “Cutler must be pretty good. We gave up a lot for him.”
The Bears played the Broncos in 2007. The Broncos put 34 points on the board. The only reason the Bears won (37-34) was the two return TD’s from Hester.
Did Urlacher watch film before and after the Bronco game? Maybe if he’s still not sure of Cutler’s abilities, that might explain how Denver put up 34 points on the board on the road in Chicago.

Completely worth it
Although Cutler hasn’t reached elite status yet, he’s shown that he can get there. What is that worth? To me, that’s worth ALOT, even more than what we paid. I mean c’mon 50% of 1st rounders are a bust! you add in the sordid history of Bears 1st round draft picks. Hell, I’d give up 3 Bears first round picks for a true talent like Cutler. Even if it sets us back a year or two, it’s worth it to eventually build around Cutler.

I Believe I Can Fly !
I can’t believe we got Cutler and Pace! Kudos to JA. I have been skeptical about him for a while, but he really pulled this off. We can draft the best available WR with the 2nd and use the compensatory 3rd for another OT, WR or DE. This was the perfect draft to do this because the OT and WR this year are really deep, so we can still get a quality player. I think signing Pace might be the best move out of this for this year because of the crap that we had for a line for the beginning part of the season. Finally a franchise QB!

for the pack and vikings..hilarious, they are so sour grapes right you can’t believe it. It was the worst deal in the world for us. Finally getting a QB is so terrible..It’s like getting Cutler for Ced Benson and Michael Haynes..sounds good to me..

Its not just
your division rivals. The rest of the NFL thinks you guys are crazy. You guys have a lot more pressing issues then getting a whiny brett farve wannabe.

who
went to the pro bowl and through for 4,500 yards..nice try. What athlete that wants out of a place doesn’t act like that?? How else could he get out? Yes I guess we are crazy for getting one of the top QB’s in the game who is 25 yrs old..

Anyone Know
If he’s throwing out the 1st pitch during the White Sox’ 6 game homestand next week?

He'll probably wait
for the cubs…GO CUBBIES!

Why Wait Over A Week?
Just because the Cubs are on a road trip? Wouldn’t he throw out a pitch in both stadiums?

He probably has
a million things to do the next few weeks. Since he’s a Cub fan they should have priority over the Sox.

I Know Bennett Couldn't Pick Up The Offense Last Season
But look at how Bernard Berrian came out of nowhere to get overpaid by the Vikings. Who’s to say the same won’t happen with Earl Bennett as a mid-round draft pick who comes on as a great receiver?

Jerry Angelo
had this to say from his beach house in Florida earlier today about the Cutler and Pace deals…
“You guys did WHAT while I was gone!?!?!?!?!”
Make every play lead the way to victory

Nice BF1, and rec’d.

Clark Judge: Cutler is an evil nancy-boy
But I’m just paraphrasing.
Anyway, here’s what Pete Prisco wrote, and I agree:
The belief in Chicago is you always run it and play good defense. That can get you only so far. With all the rules changes the past 10 years, you have to throw it to score. With Cutler and fleet running back Matt Forte, the Bears need to play a more wide-open style of offense. It will be interesting to see how that changes.
But coach Lovie Smith is a Tony Dungy disciple. Dungy was viewed as a defensive coach in Tampa Bay. Then he inherited Peyton Manning in Indianapolis and that changed.

Bears still have 8 picks.
I think JA does better in later rounds.

Congrats to the Bears
Jay is the ideal QB for a windy stadium. You guys will enjoy watching him pick apart defenses for many years. I wish our offseason hadn’t become such a three ring circus, but the worst thing is that our organizational dysfunctionality was similar to the raiders :(
BTW, who is Orton similar to? I am guessing a younger version of Trent Dilfer but I would like to know from Bears fans what Denver should expect.
I agree, Larsen shouldn’t get any bigger. I am getting tired of his bone crushing hits knocking the pixels off my TV, once they fall to the floor they are very hard to find.

I would say
At his best he’s kind of like Chad Pennington—heady, accurate, gutsy, but unable to move the ball down the field.
At his worst, he’s like Shane Matthews—wild and only throwing short.
I think he’s a decent QB, and you can win with him, but he will limit your offense. But he doesn’t make a ton of mistakes, and he can come through when it counts. But if you lean on him, you’ll be disappointed.

I guess
John Elway and Eli Manning were whiners to for not wanting to play in Indy and S.D. But hey what the hell do I know.
