It depends on what the owner wants. If it parks more butts in the stadiums, sells a bunch of Chicago Bears Cutler jerseys, etc., it makes him more money then the trade is a success. Does the owner really care more about winning than money? I don't believe that for a moment, because the owner has put up with crappy QB's for many many years... Success in the eyes of the fans? Scoreboard...not revenue.
You are nuts..... You got the better end of the deal. 25 years old, right now right here is better than pot luck in the draft....Trust me, it may seem like the short end of the stick but it ain't. Of course anything can happen, like a broken toe nail or him throwing a hissy fit...that aside I think chicago got the better end of it
