Everybody Understands Jay Cutler But The Bears.......................
Everybody understands Cutler except the Bears
Steve Rosenbloom The RosenBlog 10:08 a.m. CDT, October 13, 2011
Are they deaf up there at Halas Hall, too?
We knew the Bears were blind when it came to quarterbacks. They couldn’t draft and develop a great one, so they tried trading for one, and the Bears’ care and feeding of the most important position in the game is proving as ignorant as their previous attempts to grow their own.
The Bears are killing Jay Cutler’s career, killing the franchise’s future, and they are proving to be deaf to the quarterback’s cries for help.
Cutler took to the podium Wednesday in the wake of yet another diastrous offensive performance. Against the Lions, the Bears looked unprofessional and uncoached --- false starts, failure to get plays in, horrific blocking and inept receiving. Thanks for coming, ladies and gentlemen.
And Cutler sounded sick of being put in a position to fail. Or worse, die. He wants to get rid of the ball quicker, which means enough with those cockamamie seven-step drops that his line can’t block and his receivers can’t run.
And about that protection, how about a little help? Tight ends? Anyone?
Worst of all, though, Cutler’s game has devolved. He didn’t use the word “devolve’’ and he’s coming off a heroic performance in Detroit, but that’s the deal.
Cutler admitted that the beating he has taken over the last two seasons has created bad habits. Spooked by consistently miserable protection and consistently stupid play-calling, Cutler said the clock in his head runs faster because opposing defensive linemen all run faster than Frank Omiyale and J’Marcus Webb and Chris Williams and . . .
Cutler also said he has developed the bad habit of taking his eyes off downfield play because he can’t trust his blockers. Looking as if you're auditioning for "Jackass 4.0'' makes you jumpy. This confluence of stink and terror does not have a happy ending.
What’s more, Cutler also sounds like he doesn’t trust Mike Martz. He certainly wants no part of being Martz’s study buddy. When asked about the game plan, Cutler always answers that it’s not his deal, he’s just following. That’s code for “Go ask the ‘Genius.’’’
But here’s the thing: The quarterback shouldn’t really need to say such things to wake up the place.
Shouldn’t the “Genius’’ know this stuff? Shouldn’t the head coach at least give it a passing thought between wasting timeouts and blowing challenges? Shouldn’t the general manager have the right tools in place to make this work?
No, no, no --- they are both answers to the above questions and what Bears fans scream everytime the clowns in Lake Forest tell us Devin Hester is a No. 1 receiver.
Look, this is not about just changing the game plan. This is about changing the game planner. Martz remains as blind to truth as anybody at Halas Hall.
Martz arrogantly and stupidly calls plays the Bears cannot execute and should not be ordered to run. This is the greatest failure of any coach.
Losing games is one thing, but losing the quarterback is another. Martz is going to get run out of the building after this season anyway, so why wait? Get him out now while Cutler is theoretically salvageable.
John Shoop was bad, but he wasn’t dangerous to a quarterback’s health. He called plays to set up the punt. Jeez, I just publicly pined for John Shoop. This is sick.
But still, I could organize a better game plan using a Magic 8-Ball. At least I realize who the most important player in the building is. Martz doesn’t. Martz calls plays as if Cutler is followed by Dan Marino and he’s followed by Joe Montana. Martz arrogantly and stupidly calls plays as if quarterbacks come out of a Pez dispenser. Open up, get chewed up, do it again. Sort of the way the Bears offensive line performs.
The longer Martz stays, the more the Bears bolster the charge they have no idea what they’re doing at quarterback. They cannot protect him (you’re fired, Jerry Angelo), they cannot give him even one receiver that could start on Green Bay (you’re fired again, Jerry Angelo), they seem incapable of putting their players in position to succeed (you’re fired, Lovie Smith). (Here's the most telling paragraph of the whole article placing the blame where each fault belongs)
Cutler is asking for help. You can only hope Smith heard him, but chances are, that’s just more communication the Bears will screw up.

Once again Steve Rosebloom lays it on the line. You really can't argue with the logic behind this at all. We can all see it and if the coaching staff can't see it they're blind. I don't undstand how Lovie permits it to continue the way it has. he's the HC for cripes sake and he has the authority to change it. I'm beginning to think Martz has everyone but Jat Cutler intimidated.
You know to Jerry Angelo and his personal PR shill Larry Mayer, Steve Rosenbloom must seem like the Anti-Christ.

I don’t know how much of this is reality or spin by Rosenbloom, but nothing good will come from this...Jay doesn’t need to be pointing out the obvious and he CERTAINLY doesn’t need some whore asshat reporter putting words in this month...you say good job Rosenbloom...I say bad form; use your only words to rightly trash Martz, don’t twist Jay’s...Martz will hang himself; Jay does NOT want to be viewed or painted as his hangman...
Reductio ad absurdum...it's how we roll...

I think it'd dead on,and is exactly what many of us were concerned about.

It's all in journalistic license, Wolfman. While I personally would not have written up a piece and expressed myself as Cutler's ghost writer, it serves its purpose, and that's the sell newspapers.
Hey, it got you reading it and interested, didn't it?

Shit, as they say, rolls downhill and it all starts with IDIOTS so here's how it all started rolling downhill :
Ownership is idiotic enough to hire
Idiot # 1) Phillips ..... who is idiotic enough to hire
Idiot # 2) Angelo ...... who is idiotic enough when it comes to drafting, but allows the hiring of
Idiot # 3) Martz ...... who's idiotic play-calling, makes 80% of the players on offense look like idiots ( some are just plain idiots )
Idiot # 4) Marinelli .... who is just an idiot
Idiot # 5) Lovie ..... who is an idiot with in game adjustments but especially with a challenge flag in his hands
Idiot # 6) Tice ... for starting 2 bona-fide idiots in Webb + Omi-whats-that-snap-count-again ?
And that's JUST the front office and some of the coaching staff .......
Sprinkle in a large number of players who are complete idiots and show it time and again. Others who aren't but all seem to make the same idiotic reads on the same play that any, even idiotic, team can turn into a touchdown.
In the end, you have a pile of shit ( started by a bunch of idiots ) that has rolled downhill and it stops at the feet of a QB who has to try and make something out of it. No wonder practically every game is a shit sandwich.
What should you call any : Fumble , Hold , Interception , Three and out , or Sack ?
A " F.H.I.T.S " ? or a J'Marcus ?

That much I agree with you on Wolf. Rosenberg takes some liberties with injecting his own thoughts into others comments to inject his little brand of sarcasm, or dry wit as I prefer to call it. That is his style but you can't argue with his logic or what he has to say.

I have it on good authority that if Webb commits three more false start penalties this week they're gonna take away his helmet and make him play wearing a dunce cap!

Isn't Lovie black, though? lol. I've never thought of him being yellow before.
The best thing that can happen is for Carimi to return to the lineup healthy, moving him from RT to LT where he can have more impact on this offensive line, and then move Webb over to RT. Webb is horrible, to say the least, but it at least gets him out of Cutler's blind side.

They would have been pink with embarassment if I knew how to do it like the staff recolored the sites title heading.
