The good news is that I think he's generate significant interest between now and the draft and the Broncos should get a decent return here. Would you do Delhomme & Peppers for Cutler? Shaun Rogers & Brady Quinn? Detroit's #20 and #33 picks? With a new regime in place and a new defense coming, this might not end up being as bad as you think...

I believe that's possible. I also believe that would've been a knee jerk reaction and could've easily blown over. Still, and this never gets answered, Matt Cassell @ $14.6M was never a viable alternative to anybody except Mel Kiper and Josh McDaniels.

Scenario #1..No way.
Scenario #2..I'm not a fan of Quinn, but I could see that happening.
Scenario #3..probably the best of the three.

They will still take a huge step back at the most important position on the field so I don't see how it can end up better than I think. They've got the talent on offense to win NOW. They can't afford to wait for a maybe QB or turn into one of the franchises that is perpetually waiting for their franchise QB to come along. They HAD one.
