I think Orton would have a tougher time legitimately making the PB in the AFC than he would in the NFC..LEGITIMATELY. By legitimately, I mean NOT BY FAN VOTE.

You have only 2 real spots on the AFC squad because Manning will always be picked every single year and he always goes. So you have 15 QBs eligible for 2 spots. In the NFC is there even one guy like that? Nope. AFC QBs Orton will likely vie with will be Rivers, Roethilsberger. Possibly Edwards, Flacco and Penny. Maybe Brady. NFC, Romo (likely a fan vote special), Manning (ditto), Warner, McNabb, Brees, Rodgers, maybe Ryan. MAYBE Hass or Bulger but those are big maybes due to recent injury history.

What is bugging me is the fact that Bears fans think they got a good deal on Cutler.

Most of us think the Bears got a great deal.

Orton is only popular now amongst Bearhaters. Until now he was considered average at best. Now people are expecting/hoping for Pro Bowl appearances.

Laughable.

Young, talented, Pro Bowl QBs with 3 years remaining on their initial contract just don't come available. Like ever.

And to give up future 1st rounders that are a crapshoot plus a lesser QB for a guy in his mid 20's is a good deal.

You are kidding yourself if you think differently.

The Cutler deal is going to be a massive bust, and Denver will be the ones who really profit from it.

Be sure to bookmark your post for future consumption.

You'll need to, since Cutler could be chucking TD's for the next decade.

This may not pay dividends next year....or the following. But 5 years from now, 6, who knows?

The point is, they have stability at a position that has NEVER been solved for this franchise.

Who's to say he wont end up being a dud and start sucking? You wouldn't have stability then.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
