They did trade him then? That sucks! Bummed with ya Gooser!

 

I can't believe that anybody payed that price. I knew they were asking for two firsts and a body, but I didn't think anybody would give that for him. Denver would have taken less.

 

I watched him in DV (Death Valley.) his Jr. year @ Vandy. He is the real deal. The broncos were fools for letting the do#chebag try to backdoor him for a college benchwarmer.

 

played a highschool sectionals game against him................ he ran me the h@#l over! hate to see him go to chicago though.

ESPN Radio today were saying that the Bucs had the inside track and the Skins were very serious too. The Bears wanted him the most and it made more sense to them to give up two 1st round picks then giving their divisional rival Lions draft picks for the rights to Stafford. Lots of teams desperate for what they think is a franchise QB. I guess being a whinner really does payoff. I personally don't think Cutlet is worth two number 1's.

 

yeah, they wanted oft injured over rated simms instead of the 25 year old rifle armed cutler


Bottom line they boned themselves by trying to aquire cassel...cutler forced their hand

 

Its just too bad the broncos let the situation get to such extreams, and let the kid get that upset, to ask to be traded!!

Sounds like hes got a bit of an ego,, but what pro player dont! In my mind I think he IS a franchise player!

Denver won games this past year cause of him!
Denver defense couldnt stop a good college team never mind any in the pro.s

Our offense put good numbers up, 30 points or better a game, only to lose!!

I mean REALLY -----ORTON???? -----ya gotta be kiddin me!!!

Yea, they should have held out for Grossman at the least!

Simms is reported to be in excellent health,, after his spleenectomy,, and throwing the ball well.
Coach was quoted as sayin earlier that they need a true competion at the Q.B. position!

Simms was a great texas QB!!!
Alot of promise, that fell to the unfortunate happenings of injury and bad luck!
If he comes back healthy,, and IN A GOOD SITUATION with A LOT OF WEAPONS,, He could do well!! I'm sure that what DADDY thinks!!
The Broncos have the Offensive weapons,, the defense however cant stop a good college team!!!

Look at what McDanials did with Basically a NO NAME when Brady went down!! .

I'm bummed!!

First, Major Applewhite started over simms....and he's bagging groceries now.


Second, Cassel isnt chopped liver he played behind 2 stud college QB's(Palmer Leinhart)....


Simms is nothing but a punk from Joisey

 

Gooser do you need put on suicide watch?

 

LOL! My guess the Bears are now the favorite to win the weak NFC Central. The Vikings could use a QB as well. We will know in December how all this shakes out.

 

Cutler was pretty unhappy with the firing of Shanahan to begin with and what sent it over the top was when the new coach wanted to trade for Matt Cassel. Cutler then actually requested to be traded. I dont think it has anything to do with Chris Simms and his dad wanting him to be an NFL starter but everything to do with Cutler wanting out of Denver and Denver making it happen for him.

 

absolutely made my day

 

Chris Simms stats!
College

University of Texas Records
Highest Pass Efficiency (Career) - 138.4. (Active player Colt McCoy currently has a 161.8 rating)

applewhite was benched for simms, and now applewhite is a successful college coach which is a far cry from bagging groceries

 

and then Sims was benched for Applewhite.

Who started UT's bowl games???


I can't believe you guys are actually trying to argue for Chris Simms being a good QB

. One poignant moment occurred at the 2001 Big 12 Championship, when Simms was responsible for four turnovers (three interceptions and a fumble) in the first half of play.[5] Major was seen attempting to rally the offense before they took to the field, even as the restless Texas fans booed Simms as he returned to the field. Two plays later, Simms became injured and Applewhite entered the game. His first pass was completed for an 80 yard touchdown and he baited the University of Colorado bench in an attempt to rally the Texas fans. Eventually Texas would come up short losing 39-37 after an onside kick attempt failed. His near miracle comeback solidified his starting position for the 2001 Holiday Bowl, where he would lead another comeback and throw for 473 yards and four touchdowns to win over Washington 47-43.

 

Josh is correct.

I;m REALLY BUMMED!!! (not that yer correct Josh,, I'm just bummed)

Mr Bolen:!!

Where the he!! do ya have yer head burried????

Gooser

 

I was wrong. Those idiots payed 2 firsts, a third and a body for that guy. Hope it works out for them in the long run.

 

What's wrong, I'm ok with it

 

I think that is was a wise move by the bears. sorry about your loss Goose. But for the bears to give up two first round drafts was not that bad for the bears. Look at their past first rounders. Their first rounders are usually big flops, so my props go out to the bears. Now they need to get rid of that god awful offensive Coordinator.

 

The Broncos should of grabbed chicagos middle linebacker then they would af had at least 1 person on there Defense that could stop the run!!

Maybe San Deigos Q-back was right? Cutler was a baby!

We will find out in Bear country and a frozen ball! If he throws for 3000 yards he will be lucky this year, The Bears better get a Offensive line to protect him or he will be on his back just like the other Bear Q-backs....Ohh yea they need sombody who can catch too....

 

and now he has nobody to throw to...

 

For the first time in ages the Bears will have a legitimate QB. To us Bears fans, its worth it.

GO BEARS!

 

Who is Cutler gonna throw the ball to. they have nothing in the recieving corp.

 

Good thing the Lions didn't get him, they might have actually won a game! lol

 

OUCH!!!! As a (bag firmly in place over head) Lions Fan (GULP!), that hurts...

According to the message boards, most Lions fans are quite pleased this morning that our new management and coaching staff didn't pony up the demanded goods for Cutler. He would have been a welcome addition, but NOT at that price when we have SO MANY other holes to fill.

Now if we can convert Calvin Johnson to a defensive back, Cutler will have somebody to throw to, Calvin will get his catches and everybody will be happy!

By the way Steph, how'd ya get my picture for your avatar? Thought I'd pulled all those off the internet:grin:

 

Look, Bowlen tried to call the whiner for days. If Bowlen was paying me $35 mil a year, I would TAKE HIS FREAKIN CALL!!!

 

ok, as a hard core orange-blood - i have to chime in a little here....

Chris Simms is NOT my favorite UT QB, but if any of you really think that he is only in the NFL because daddy told someone to play him you are a fool. its all about money from performance, Phil aint that big of an influence. Chris aint that good of a QB either, but he still is good enough to make it on a team at some level. think about it, look at all the QBs in the NFL, how many did you not even hear about in college? they werent making news as heros in Div II schools, but they had things like height/speed/brains for the game/etc. to think an NFL coach and GM would risk their careers over a pretty boy that daddy Phil says play him is far-fetched to me.

its so obvious you idiots - Obama is nationalizing pro football and he wants to see diversity with a pretty boy blonde white kid as QB in the NFL to take heat off his other socialist agendas......

sheeesh, do i gotta do it all here??? ;-)

 

As a Bears fan, I like the trade. When Cutler was in college, he said he wanted to play for the Bears. And he'll be close enough to home that mom and dad can smack him around and tell him that football's a team sport and that he's nothing without the rest of the team.

 

orton will be a loss.

i was waiting for angelo to pick up nate davis on the news that no one by the cards went to his training day.

the bears NEED a qb.
