I don’t disagree with you on Cutler’s problems at QB, but like I said before, they do not have another alternative at the moment.

I think he has value. Orton just retired and the Bills are searching for a new QB. The Rams are done with Bradford and would take a hard look at Cutler, and Arizona needs another QB as they really don’t have any options due to injuries. Do merely ‘dump’ Cutler makes zero sense. They need to get value for him or play him till they can find someone better. If you can name one also-ran journey-man QB, or possible draft pick for the Bears at QB, go ahead and name one. They have the 7th pick in the coming draft. Who can they get for that?

-Or do they use it on the best defensive prospect at defensive end they can find and look for a QB in free agency? Either way, they have to keep Cutler for the moment. Cutting him and getting nothing is just stupid IMHO.

Yep, you said that and I glossed over it. Unfortunately for the Bears I think you're right. I think they're "stuck" with him through at least next year while they wait to draft someone out of college or pick up someone on free agency. Any "trade" for Cutler will likely involve the Bears still paying the majority of his remaining guaranteed salary to whoever picks him up and at that point, why not keep him around beyond next year as a backup (a rather expensive backup, but still, a backup.) Who knows, the skies could part and divine intervention could happen and another team takes him and his expensive salary off the Bears hands. That would have to be one desperate team!

I missed that. Shame, Orton had real potential when he was here and then with the Bronco's. I liked him more as a person than a QB as I grew up in Altoona Iowa and went to high school with so many of the Orton family members at SE Polk High School. Don't think any team that picked him up ever really tried to develop him, again -- a shame. Ahh well, wish him well.
