As a Bears fan, I am happy that we finally got a quarterback.......but this whole incident has got me concerned about his leadership skills/team attitude/maturity.

What did we give up?

Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that the Broncos get the Bears 09 and 10 first round picks, 3rd round pick this year, and Kyle Orton.

Bears get Cutler and the Broncos 5th round pick this year

You could be right, but NFL network and Sun-Times are still showing 5th.....doesn't really matter, it's just kind of an extra anyway.

Guess he gets his wish of playing with the same left tackle he had in college

Cutler is way overrated. We'll see how he likes throwing to recievers not name Marshall, Royal, and/or Scheifler. Who are the Bears recievers anyway, besides their punt returner.

That is exactly the problem the Bears need to solve.
The best receiver the Bears have is Greg Olsen (TE).

But look for Matt Forte to have a better season....Defenses can't just put 7-8 in the box to stop the only offense the Bears had.

Look, I don't think that Cutler handled this with as much maturity as I would have liked. He probably could have tried harder to make things work and play nice with the new coach.

That said, McDaniels and Bowlen have been screwing the pooch ever since they fired shanahan. Bowlen made promises to cutler about not changing the offense or the offensive staff, then he goes out and hires an offensive coordinator to be the coach. And one from New England to make it worse. All I've seen out of McDaniels is that he's an arrogant, over-controlling, system freak just like his old boss. He's so sure he can win with his system and his style, he doesn't care who's feathers he ruffles. Well I guess we will see. Either it will work out and he'll look like a genius, or he'll be a flash in the pan like every other Billiceck protege.

Yeah, cause he obviously did nothing at Vanderbilt. Or you're saying that Vandy had the best receiving core in the SEC while he was there.

Gotta admit, I laughed at that one. I see the Broncos overtaking Da Raidas for the cellar in the AFC west for a while.

But dammit, I'll still root for em.
