Crybaby Cutler gets his wish

Jay Cutler (from this point on known as Crybaby) got his wish and was traded to the Chicago Bears today. In a trade on Thursday afternoon, the Bears gave up quarterback Kyle Orton and first-round picks in 2009 (18th overall) and 2010, along with a third-round pick (84th overall) in 2009 to do it. To complete the trade, the Broncos had to give back a fifth-round pick (140th overall) in 2009. That pick was acquired by the Broncos from the Seattle Seahawks in a trade for wide receiver Keary Colbert.

Looking at this from a pure stat standpoint, Crybaby outshines Orton, but Orton has been a winner during his four years as the on-again off-again QB racking up a 21-11 record as a starter. Crybaby on the otherhand has a lackluster 17-20 record as the Bronco starter. Orton does not have Crybaby's arm, but he does make good choices and plays to his potential, not throwing games away (i.e. Rex Grossman).

I can't wait until Crybaby acts up on the Bears sideline. Brian Urlacher, the brawny middle linebacker for the Bears was less than excited to hear about this trade. He said, "I guess the Bears felt like we needed another quarterback, so they made a move. They gave up a lot. Cutler must be pretty good."

"I guess we got better as a team. You get a quarterback who is a Pro Bowl guy. But I will say this: I think Kyle Orton is a good quarterback. He's a great teammate. I hope he does really well in Denver."

I don't think Urlacher will tolerate some over-rated loadmouth Crybaby crying on the sideline.
