So if the Bears start making deep playoff runs and maybe a SB win in the coming years

"Too much" to one team isn't "too much" to another. Would I want my QB taking up 21 million in cap space for a year? Hell to the no. But Indy and Philly don't mind it.

The Bears made to SB 41 mostly because of their defense and run game and some timely big plays in the passing game and I would expect more of the same if they make it again. I don't think you have to give up "that much" to get that ability in a QB, but to each his own. I am sure the Bears will be more than happy if they feel the Cutler deal was a big reason why they make it to the SB/playoffs/etc.

I'm sure Mr Scot still will :lol:

Though to his credit, he likes Lovie Smith and someone else... :D

Smith, Matt Forte, Olin Kreutz, and others.

If having Cutler turns them into a Patriot style dynasty, I'll admit it was worth it.

If, however, Cutler doesn't get the team over the hump that he's supposed to, will you say they gave up too much?

One Lombardi and most Bear fans wouldn't care what they gave up, regardless of what he does otherwise.

In fairness, that's true of most fanbases regarding player deals.

I could even see the Eagle fanbase embracing a big money, multiple draft pick trade for Terrell Owens if it meant a trophy.

(admittedly, that one's a stretch) :sosp:

I will certainly admit that I was wrong, if he turns them into Pitt overnight.

Denver has not done as well with the picks so far....IMO, but I will admit that it is also wayyyy too early for me to say that. Didn't like Alphonso Smith with Chicago's next years first...but on the same note, I am not really thrilled with Brown, and us using next years first either.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
