Sounds good - - if only it were correct. And it is not...
The Broncos did
not trade Jay Cutler for Kyle Orton even up. So, the Bronx did
not choose Kyle Orton over Jason Campbell even up.
Go back and look at the trade that made that move happen. I believe the entire transaction was this - - but I may be "misremembering" to use a word coined by Roger Clemens:
Bears get Jay Cutler + fifth round pick.
Broncos get Kyle Orton + TWO first round picks + a third round pick.
Do you know what "other compensation" the Skins offered the Broncos to make that deal over and above Jason Campbell? I do not.
RUMOR is that all they would cough up was one first round pick + Campbell and nothing more. But I don't know if that
RUMOR is right nor do I know what they may have offered in the deal.
BTW, Jay Cutler will not turn out to be worth what the Bears paid for him in terms of players and draft picks - - unless all of the Broncos picks turn out to be cabbage patch dolls.
