So if the Bears start making deep playoff runs and maybe a SB win in the coming years

"Too much" to one team isn't "too much" to another. Would I want my QB taking up 21 million in cap space for a year? Hell to the no. But Indy and Philly don't mind it.

The Bears made to SB 41 mostly because of their defense and run game and some timely big plays in the passing game and I would expect more of the same if they make it again. I don't think you have to give up "that much" to get that ability in a QB, but to each his own. I am sure the Bears will be more than happy if they feel the Cutler deal was a big reason why they make it to the SB/playoffs/etc.

I'm sure Mr Scot still will :lol:

Though to his credit, he likes Lovie Smith and someone else... :D

Smith, Matt Forte, Olin Kreutz, and others.

If having Cutler turns them into a Patriot style dynasty, I'll admit it was worth it.

If, however, Cutler doesn't get the team over the hump that he's supposed to, will you say they gave up too much?

One Lombardi and most Bear fans wouldn't care what they gave up, regardless of what he does otherwise.

In fairness, that's true of most fanbases regarding player deals.

I could even see the Eagle fanbase embracing a big money, multiple draft pick trade for Terrell Owens if it meant a trophy.

(admittedly, that one's a stretch) :sosp:

I will certainly admit that I was wrong, if he turns them into Pitt overnight.

Denver has not done as well with the picks so far....IMO, but I will admit that it is also wayyyy too early for me to say that. Didn't like Alphonso Smith with Chicago's next years first...but on the same note, I am not really thrilled with Brown, and us using next years first either.

      SI Panthers Mock Draft

      Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.  I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all.  But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities.
