I could be wrong, but this deal is as one-sided as any I can remember in the NFL. McDaniels and every member of the Denver front office deserve to have their pictures pinned on every Post Office bulletin board in the United States, because they just pulled off a heist of monumental proportions.
who's their Quarterback? Draft picks are nice, but where's there a guarantee that any of them will ever pan out? you dont win championships without a top QB
Yup - that's what I was saying - it could turn out like our trade of Curtis Martin to the Jets for first and second round picks - I think one of the picks was used on Sedrick Shaw and the other - Chris Canty? I can't really remember but I remember that neither player was worth the paper his contract was printed on. Of couse that was with Bobby Grier running the draft...who's their Quarterback?

And Cutler wasn't a top QB anyways. At least now they have 2 more first rounders to a) find one, and b) develop a strong top-to-bottom team.
The NFLTA discussion was full of crap tonight - they've been pretty slimey during this episode overall - but they did make sense when they noted this move meant Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith were under pressure to win now.In all fairness, Orton screwed up his ankle in the 2nd half of last year...prior to that, he was actually doing really well - it looked like the Bears finally found their long haul QB. They ended up blowing a couple of games in that 1st half(i.e. Carolina, Tampa, and Atlanta) b/c the defense crapped the bed late in those games.
But like I said earlier - Jerry Angelo is not exactly Dan Snyder/Jerry Jones, and relies heavily on creating a system, which is why I was more than shocked he mortgaged away their future for an underachieving QB.
