I will be the first to admit that this whole Cutler trade situation got under my skin a bit. I was mad at McDaniels, I was mad at Cutler, and I was mad at Bowlen. Now that it is over and I have faced the reality that Cutler is not coming back, I have had a chance to think rationally. Kyle Orton is the guy, for now, and that's okay with me. He can manage a game, and that's what we need in order for our team to get better. I will explain.
Denver had one of the worst defences in the league last year no matter how much I hated to admit it. They were bad, but you have to admit, they were out on the field a lot more than the offense last year. Sometimes, okay a lot of times it was because they failed to stop the run or third down conversions, but every so often the offense would turn the ball over or score so fast that the defense would come out sluggish. I know it sounds bad to think an offense scoring fast is not a good thing, but it never seemed as though Cutler managed the game all to well.
