The Bears definitely got the better of that deal.
Cutlers poor past performance for the Bears was mostly due to the Bears pathetic offensive front line and offensive coordinator which resulted in Cutler running for his life almost every play.
Now that the bears have finally replaced most of that front line and finally got a decent coordinator Cutler is doing MUCH better as evidenced by his throwing for 4 TDs in the Bears victory against the Eagles and the Bears overall better record this year.
Meanwhile, Kyle Orton who was traded away from the Bears has been doing poorly and sitting most of the time. I THINK I read that he has either been traded away or is the subject of trade rumors.
You aren't paying attention ... fact is, for what it's worth, Kyle Orton is having a great year in terms of QB statistics ... he might even make the pro-bowl. Problem is QB statistics are pretty much worthless when you're playing for a pathetic NFL team.
Orton is not a bad quarterback although I'd rather have Cutler, personality issues and all.
Is Steve Tensi available?
