With draft day approaching, the non-trade by the Redskins for Jay Cutler is not even a blip in the rear view mirror. Jay Cutler looks better as a Bear than a Redskin. He still has use for his orange sweatshirts. Since he got himself kicked out of Denver, he was almost sure to land in the NFC.
Rarely do you see a team fire a player like that. You have to wonder what he really did to get fired. He was sent to a QB outback, a team with a bad offense that plays in a freezing stadium hard by the great lakes.
Sure you can win there, just few actually do. Maybe it is a good move by the Bears, I don’t know. But it was a great move by the Redskins not to pay the crazy high price asked.
We don’t know whether it was the Redskins who raised the ante to such high stakes. Paying two first round picks, plus a third and your starting QB is a boatload. Considering that Jayson Campbell cost two first round picks, that really translates into four first round selections and third rounder. Holy cow, that is a lot of good football players to give up.
So we are going to get a super bowl winning, sure-fire hall of famer for all that gridiron loot? No? We are just going to receive a signal caller who has the same record as the guy we already have? What kind of deal is that!
The DC area collects one of a kind athletes. We have the $100 million dollar nose tackle, the $112 million dollar point guard who decides if he will play, the overly exuberant $100 million dollar hockey star (who might be worth it) and the $632 million dollar baseball stadium for a team no one cares about. What would be so bad about another $100 mil for a quarterback who looked like a pro-bowler and then got fired? Even if it costs you 5 top draft picks? Too many question marks and dollar signs for me.
