The Jay Cutler trade really shows how the Patriots got bamboozled by the Chiefs in the Matt Cassel trade. If Cassel was going to take over for Cutler, shouldn't Cassel be worth more than just a second round pick? I'm not going to sit back here and argue that Cassel is better than Cutler, but yesterdays deal isn't a fair measuring stick between both QBs. The Broncos got a ridiculous deal in pulling Kyle Orton, two number ones and a number 3 draft picks for an attitude problem, potential alcoholic, immature quarterback, that only has "potential" in his defense. Matt Cassel showed no signs of immaturity, and obviously was willing to learn and embrace any role he was given. That alone backed up with last years stats makes Cassel at least worth a first round pick. A lot of people are going to argue and say, "The Patriots didn't want a first round pick because of the money." Well that is just bullshit. A mid first round pick talent is a lot different than an early second round pick. The fact of the matter is that the Patriots, for the first time in a real long time got had. Sucks, but it's true.
