chicago's most wanted

denver broncos quarterback jay cutler confirmed to espn today that he would like to be traded, to which new broncos head coach josh mcdaniels replied "boo hoo hoo, baby wanna tissue?"
seriously though, how did this thing get so out of hand? either cutler is a little girl or mcdaniels is a stubborn jackass. i'm going to leave that decision up to you.

actually, detroit, chicago and minnesota could be good fits. in fact, the vikings are yet again a very attractive prospect for an elite level nfl quarterback. everyone remembers their courting process with brett favre. they have a lot of great pieces in place, but still lack a real signal caller. tavaris jackson is michael vick with no arm. i'd like to see orton and jackson play catch together. it would be over in 2 minutes because they'd have to keep moving closer to pick up all their underthrown balls.

i get the knocks against cutler. he hasn't won anything. he's supposedly a whiner (which day by day is being confirmed by pretty much every sports fan in colorado.) he sometimes rubs teammates the wrong way. he played horribly at the close of this past season when the horrible afc west was theirs for the taking. blowing a multi-game lead in the division with so many games left in the season is not the kind of record we're looking to break here, kids.

but i can't help it; i like the guy's stats. but yet this makes my head want to blow up because you can NEVER RELY ON STATS. he puts up good numbers. pro bowl numbers, numbers that on another team could really do some good. but so far as a starter, he's gone 2-3, 7-9, and 8-8. still, when considering the quarterback position at about 9 or 10 nfl teams right now, i'd say anyone should take their chances. especially when your starting quarterback is tarvaris jackson.

so, to all chicagoans, write jerry a nice letter. ask him to get that dude from jacksonville that just got let out jail, go get torry holt, demote devin hester back to his rightful position (anything other than a #1 receiver), and do what you can to get this guy. he is a franchise quarterback on the market. for anyone that would like him. spend the freaking money and let's stop wallowing in 7-9 and 9-7 seasons. note to jerry angelo: sorry to burst your bubble, but kyle orton is not, i repeat, NOT, a franchise quarterback. this is your freaking chance to get what da bears have been missing since, well, since the last time they won anything of real importance.

jay cutler, if you're reading this, i know you grew up a bears fan. because smart people know purple is a stupid color anyway, and as far as detroit goes, no one wants to be anywhere near the term "rebuilding process" or the crumbling infrastructure of an entire city.
