I haven't read the posts on this thread, but upon hearing the news of Cutlers trade, I just wanted to register my disappointment with the Niners FO . . . again!
Of course, I knew that the Niners didn't have the Cajones to pull off something like this, but until the door was slammed shut, there was always hope.
This was a trade the Niners could have made. Is Culter worth it? Absolutely! You just have to register this organizations exercise in futility with their first rounders to realise what a crap shoot drafting is versus the sure thing. Easily worth 2, heck three, first rounders. Even the one first rounder we hit on is not worth a third of what a franchise QB brings to the table. Only homie are blind to this fact.
A franchise QB is the core, the foundation on which to build a consistent winner. The Niners demise began with the team's loss of its franchise QBs and until we have one, we're not going to be consistently back. The teams that are consistently there year after year have this.
There is NOONE on the Niners roster who is a valuable as Cutler. Anybody making an argument to the contrary is not playing with a full deck IMO. There are a LOT of them around.
What a disappointment!! Well . . . back to the salt mines!
3 first rounders? Why do we stop there? Just give them a first round draft pick each year for the next 5 years.

You don't get it: I was making a point about value.
You give up the LEAST of what it would take to get him. In this case 2 firsts, a third, and change. And you get your franchise back on track after 10 years in the wilderness. Not a huge price to pay for that now, is it?
5 first rounders when you only need to give up two?! Pfffft . . . done much negotiating? Just asking.
Yes but the Bears are now stuck. They have a ton of holes left to fill and no draft picks... woops. Cutler can't turn s**t in to gold with no help
This just in. Breaking news...the Bears have NO draft picks....damn they really did screw up. Who has ever drafted a good player outside of the 1st??
Also, more breaking news...apparently, though still 25 years old.....in 2 more seasons when the Bears get to pick in the 1st again...Jay Cutler will automagically be 38 years old.
You heard it hear first, Jay Cutler will NEVER have a WR to throw to because the Bears are stupid heads and got RAPED on this trade.
thank god for the zone
We're fortunate indeed to have all this insight to draw from on the 'zone.
This just in . . . the Bears do have some speed on the outside. Remember Devan Hester? Now they have the arm to get the ball there. They just signed Pace to play LT. Probably not the same player he was five years ago, but I wager he's still one of the best. They also have a first round pick TE who actually seems to know how to catch the ball . . . what a novel concept. Also a pretty decent RB.
We'll see what a QB wih all the tools adds to the equation.
No doubt the Bears have weaknesses . . . what team doesn't? Their defense needs shoring up . . . big time! But at least they had the ability to recognized a deal . . . and the cajones to pull the trigger.
Anyway, what do I care if the Bears have success? . . . I'm not even a fan of theirs . . . but, I'm just so ENVIOUS of their recent acquistion.
