culter doesnt decide where he gets traded so i dont understand how that is the deciding factor

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Many have already said it themselves. The Ponchos had no leverage in this trade at all besides what compensation they wanted in return.

[The Sisko]

Saved from our own ineptitude yet again.

He grew up a Bears fan. Makes sense. (and maybe a part of McDaniels evil plan to get him back ten years later or appease the owner.)

Chicago offered their QB, two #1's and their #3. We might even have matched it (God I hope not, and I wanted Cutler) but reports on NFL network say Denver wanted Orton over Campbell.

[SkinsTerps26]

Bears 2010 pick > Redskins 2010 pick

Kyle Orton = white

Jason Campbell = black

This is Denver ladies and gentlemen

QFT....not that I necessarily wanted him, but anything is better than undermining your starting QB and then having to keep him...

...if Denver has good personell scouts, and they wanted Orton over Campbell, then we're hosed.....

Right on, we all know Broncos fans hate black people.

It helped the Broncos to have us in the mix.

Where does it say that was the deciding factor? Here's what the blurb says:

Cutler had expressed a strong desire to play in Chicago throughout the process, according to a source who had spoken to the player. The Redskins had been active in negotiations, offering multiple draft picks and putting together several proposals over the last two days, a league source said.

It merely mentions his desire to play in Chicago in passing.

the broncos should give us their 3rd rounder for helping to increase the bidding so high....eitherway, im looking forward to playing the broncos and orton this year.

Well, being that Chicago was his hometown team growing up, why wouldn't it be?

[Veretax]

Orton is probably a better fit for the kind of offense McDaniels. Brady had to run a quick striking passing game at times. JC is just too slow for that, and everyone here should realize that.

[Larry Brown #43]

Since when does Cutler get to choose which team he gets traded to? He wasn't a free agent. Denver could trade him anywhere they wanted to. His desire to play for the Bears was just a side note.

[HitStickTaylor21]

If the Bengals had accepted our Chad Johnson offer last year, do you think would we have offered our 2011 and 2012 first-round picks? Agh, the would be awful...

[HitStickTaylor21]

delete sorry

[SkinsMaster88]

Considering that Cutler had said he hadn't been in communication for more than a small conversation over the last 2 weeks with the Broncos. And both sides in Denver had opposite views on what happened in the past and in the last couple days, I don't think Cutler's opinion really had any say in terms of what the Broncos organization wanted to do. They chose based on what they'd get out. They felt the Bears' offer was better than whatever the Redskins gave.
