Why The Broncos Got The Better Of The Cutler Deal

Although Denver lost arguably the top young quarterback in the league, they should still be optimistic because of the fact that they have Josh McDaniels, as stupid as he is, as their head coach. The man behind the development of Tom Brady and Matt Cassel has an excellent new project in Kyle Orton and can easily mold him into an effective starting NFL quarterback, given the talent he flashed last year. He possess the football smarts and intangibles it takes to succeed as a quarterback in the NFL and now has maybe the best in the business to help groom him. Add to that, he now goes into the situation that allowed Cutler to thrive, a pass happy team with an amazing offensive line and receiving corps. One should expect him to improve significantly simply from being surrounded by his new offense.

While people are calling out the Broncos for actually dealing their young star QB, I really think that three years from now it will be one of the smartest moves they could have made. Granted, Jay Cutler is immensely talented and is undeniably a much better quarterback than Orton, things should still be fine with Orton. Now also, those new 1st round picks can now go toward rebuilding that defense. They are really only a few pieces away from having an effective defense and now have been given the keys to acquiring the personnel to make major moves.
