My favorite SportsNation poll results came from the question, "Does Boise State belong in a BCS bowl?" 49 out of 50 states overwhelmingly voted yes. The one glaring exception?

I don't really have any ill will toward Ben or Vick, but that is still a terribly sad poll.

Rivers played the whole game against New England

LT and cutler should be teammates.


Tough to play a game when your RB and QB won't step on the field in the playoffs.

that's why it would be funny.

LT: hey man, you gotta step up, i can't go today.
JC: no way, i'm not going out there, you go!
LT: i took myself out first!
JC: nu-ah!
LT: ya-huh!
JC: nu-ah!
LT: ya-huh!
JC: Martzy! Martzy! LT is trying to make me play!
MM: you two shut up, Todd Collins has gotcha covered, oh shi-

Well that's surely one way to kill a thread that shouldn't have started in the first place.

For thodoks, Kris:

Quote:
1. The Price for Cutler: Now that the Broncos have waived Kyle Orton, who was a central piece in a blockbuster trade with the Bears, the exact price that Chicago surrendered for former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler can be accurately weighed. It was, in two words -- a bargain.

For Cutler, the Broncos got:

• A 2009 first-round pick that Denver used on defensive end Robert Ayers.

• A 2010 first-round pick Denver traded to Seattle for a 2009 second-round pick used on cornerback Alphonso Smith.

• A 2009 third-round pick Denver traded with its own third-round pick to Pittsburgh for a second-round pick used on tight end Richard Quinn and a fourth-round pick used on guard Seth Olsen.

Now, Orton is in Kansas City, and Ayers is the only player left on Denver's roster that the team got in return for Cutler. That's it. Every other player brought to the Broncos from that trade has been released.

And if that weren't bad enough, the 2009 third-round pick from Chicago that Denver wound up trading to Pittsburgh was used on none other than wide receiver Mike Wallace.

So Chicago got Cutler, Pittsburgh got Wallace, and Denver got … Ayers. Literally.

Moral of the story: In the offseason after Cutler was selected to his first Pro Bowl, no price was too high to pay for a proven Pro Bowl quarterback.

That's really just contingent on the Broncos making adequate draft selections. If they picked three Pro Bowlers or solid starters you could say, "Look at the steal the Broncos got for Cutler!"

which is the nice way of saying the article is awful and completely misses the point: there is a price too high to pay for a QB, the broncos just suck.

Doesn't the Mike Wallace point only illustrate that Chicago had to give up the good receiver they need to get Cutler who needs a receiver?

But According to Thodoks, picks (esp 1st round picks) are where it's at... even though there is a very high failure rate...

They've never had a good WR... Besides, QB is much more important than WR. Ask the Lions ;)

Just because Chicago's trading partner blew it doesn't mean draft picks aren't still the best way to build a team.

This is wrong. The Alphonso Smith pick was their own. Reference the masterful Kyle Orton Flow Chart:

The Cutler trade as of now is really Cutler & Johnny Knox (the Bears did get a decent receiver, Mickey) for Ayers, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, and part of Tim Tebow.
