Cry Baby Cutler goes to the Bears for two first rounders and a third rounder and Kyle Orton. I guess they weren't as committed to Orton as they said. Now they just need to get some WRs for him to throw the ball to. Actually, I have never really thought about Cutler much until yesterday when rumors were flying around about him coming to the Skins. I am actually interested in watching what he does next year. It could be a good move for the Bears. He certainly has the arm strength to battle the weather in Chicago. We'll see how he takes to his new team and fans and how he likes being in a big city/market.
As far as the Skins and JC go, I am disappointed at the lack of respect they have shown JC. I really think he is deserving of this year to prove if he is indeed the franchise QB. He will have it now (barring some weird transaction). The interesting thing is WRC's Lindsay Czarniak interviewed JC shortly after the trade was made and he was as calm as ever and just said that there was nothing he could do about the trade talk. He can only focus on himself and preparing himself each Sunday as the starter. He has always said that if he just plays the way he knows he is capable of playing, everything will take care of itself. Now this may be all spin but still that is the way you handle yourself like a professional. There was not crying or anger or bitterness. I am sure he has some of that bottled up and he will be playing with a chip on his shoulder this year. Hopefully he will use it to his advantage. Frankly, I hope he lights it up this year and not just because it would help the Skins but because it would help JC. Then I hope he takes every cent he can from the Redskins giving no discount. As Apollo told Rocky, when it's over, this whole town is going to owe him one big apology.

Good move for the Bears, but I think the rumors will hurt the Redskins and JC.
Actually, the Post and ESPN have been talking about how the Redskins want Sanchez and Kiper/Mort were talking about how the Redskins may try to move up to get him.
I don't know why Danny Boy always has to covet the candy that he doesn't have over the decent candy that he already has. All he does is mess things up. This whole Cutler thing was ridiculous for the Redskins.
The Cutler nonsense and Sanchez rumors only serve to send the message to JC that he is not respected by his owner.
I love it! Before when there was talk of the Skins getting Cutler Robs says, "Jay Cutler = Jeff George II. The guy is a wuss..."
However, now that he is a Bear, he is awesome. This makes me laugh.
Look, I think it was a mistake for the Redskins to entertain the idea of bringing Cutler here. Frankly, I didn't think we needed him and I am okay with going into this year with JC and seeing what the guy is capable of. I expect JC to show he can be a franchise QB. It is an important year for him. If he doesn't show it, then I could start thinking about going in a different direction. I'm sure JC is upset knowing that he doesn't have the vote of confidence from his organization. HOWEVER, I DO believe JC when he says that as long as he plays the way he is capable of playing then everything will work out in the end. Bottom line, JC can't control anything other than the way he plays. He has an opportunity to shine now and lets see if he can do it. I like that he has shouldered the responsibility and lets see if he can deliver.
Regarding the Bears and their trade, I think it works for both teams. The Broncos get two first round draft picks and a third round pick. You expect the two first round picks to be starters and impact players and that third rounder you expect to be a starter at some point. The Bears lose those picks but they get a young Pro Bowl QB and most likely their first franchise QB since Jim McMahon. Good for them. I, along with many other people who didn't care about Cutler before, am actually interested in watching him play and seeing if he can deliver. He cried like a baby and thinks of himself as a superstar so lets see if he can deliver like a superstar.
I think it is good for the fans as they have been upset with Angelo for the lack of activity in FA and now they get a big name guy. If it works out, great for Chicago. If Cutler struggles, he will probably blame everyone else but himself and then the fans will turn on him and it will get ugly. It will also be interesting to see if the Bears change their offensive scheme to suit Cutler. If they are smart, they would do so. Typically, Chicago is a team that focuses on strong defense with grinding it out on offense. We'll see if they open things up now.
Back to Robs. The one thing I will say is that he is loyal. He may hate and complain about other players and other teams but when you are a Bear, he will love you.
I posted on this on my blog.
Cutler is a wuss - but he is my wuss now and I love him. He has to prove himself, but it is a good gamble for the Bears (it made no sense for the Redskins to go after him).
Please talk Bears on my blog. I'll talk Redskins here.
