Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Cutler Hasn't Performed Up To Expectations In Chicago
Because the expectations for Jay in Chicago were 16-0 and a super bowl trophy?
Actually..... :doh:
There were a few "experts" saying that the Bears would be in the SB. I didn't buy it. Still don't.
More to the point, what does it matter if he isn't living up to their lofty expectations? I'd rather have a guy like Orton, for whom the "experts" had ZERO expectations, who is winning consistently. I couldn't possibly care less about Cutler, the Bears, Chicago, etc.
I have been preaching this all along. He is a clown, a prick, and is very overrated and I am 100% glad he is gone.
Hope Bears fans are happy with thier savior, I projected 20+ INT's this year, I will up that to 25+. He is the worse game manager and leader in the league and he DOES NOT deserve to be paid like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady!
As much as I love Cutler bashing, and believe me I do, please move the thread to another forum section. He's not a bronco anymore, and now he's an enemy.
He is still somewhat connected to the Broncos. Our 1st round pick next year depends on his/Bears performance this season.
I don't think he feels like a fool however after the contract he just signed.
Oh I agree he's getting paid - but you don't think his is looking to the 6&0 Bronco's and re-thinking the entire situation?
I would venture he would still be here if he had this team last year - who's gonna jump off the boat on a team playing well enough to make a run at it .
Thus my point - Personally I'm thinking he's like "jeeeeeeeeeeez", lol

For some stange reason I like these Cutler bashing articles. I don't think he feels like a fool however after the contract he just signed. I am sure he would have had to do a whole lot better than 3-2 (before the last embarasment) to get a contract like that.
In response to who thought that Orton might do better in Denver, I think McDaniels did. In the Denver fanbase, I do think there are several that are not that surprised that Jay plays amazing one week and like s... the next. There are very good reasons that his winning streaks are so short.
Cutler Hasn't Performed Up To Expectations In Chicago
The article briefly compares Orton and Cutler thus far.
"Really embarrassing" indeed!

BEREA —
This much was clear: Denver was never going to be the same without Jay Cutler.
Who knew different would be better with Kyle Orton?
After Cutler pouted his way out of Colorado, he was supposed to be the reason the Chicago Bears broke through to Super Bowl contention. Instead, the Bears are licking their wounds from a 45-10 loss to Cincinnati as they await a game Sunday against Cleveland.
Orton was supposed to be a joke, a liability who would make it unlikely for Denver to match last year’s 8-8.
Instead, his Broncos ride into Baltimore with a 6-0 record. Bears fans thought it was automatic that Cutler would elevate them, yet they are 3-3.
Through six games, Orton leads Cutler:
• 1,465 to 1,452 in passing yards.
• 7.55 to 6.95 in yards per attempt.
• 100.1 to 82.9 in passer rating.
The Browns, however, are in no position to assume an upper hand against any quarterback, least of all Cutler.
As a Bronco last Nov. 6, Cutler came to Cleveland for a Thursday night game. The Browns were out of touch with the playoff race at 3-5, but energized by the fact Brady Quinn was making his first NFL start.
In retrospect, it was by far Quinn’s finest hour as a pro. He passed for 239 yards and two touchdowns. With help from Joshua Cribbs (three carries, 48 yards) and Kellen Winslow Jr. (10 catches, 111 yards), he had the Browns leading 30-27 in a shootout, based on a 78-yard touchdown drive that ended with five minutes left.
Cutler had a career game of his own. He answered Quinn’s drive with an 80-yarder, part of his 447 yards passing and three touchdowns.
It amounted to Cutler’s last hurrah in the Rockies. Denver lost four of its last seven games. Head Coach Mike Shanahan was fired. Cutler was steamed with new Head Coach Josh McDaniels over issues that got him traded out.
Now, Cutler is being looked at as a 26-year-old prima donna whose ability to win isn’t nearly as big as his ego or arm.
Sunday’s loss may have humbled him a bit. The Bears trailed, 28-0, before he threw a late touchdown pass to Devin Hester.
“It's really embarrassing,” said Cutler, who threw three interceptions in the game and now has 10 on the season.
