One question, and I wonder if we will ever get this answered truthfully. Vinny has always said the FO runs with the 3 big dogs coming to a group solution. We assume Danny wanted Cutler, we also assume Zorn was content with (and possibly actively campaigned for) Campbell. But does anyone know how vocal Vinnie was in these discussions?
In other words, did the 3-headed solution actually work the way it claims, and Danny backed away from his desire by listening to his football people, or did we just get turned away at the gate of Denver?
I suppose this goes to whether another team saved us from ourselves or whether our FO showed it is capable of following its own rules.

I think the FO took themselves out of the running when the Bears upped the price to a player, two 1st rounders and a 3rd. The rumors only had us willing to offer Campbell and a 1st (too much IMO) or a 1st and a 2nd (via a Campbell trade). The Bears were just willing to give away a Ricky Williams type price to get their hometown guy. I am one of the obvo=ious few who think that the FO explored the trade option (any reputable franchise with a question mark at QB would) then backed out when the price became too steep. I applaud the FO's decision to do so. Let's be honest, if Danny really wanted him, he would have matched the Bears offer...and then some!
