Bears hire Martz as OC

Recommended Posts

Marinelli won a SB as the DL coach....Detoilet is a lost case. No one wins there....and who would with stupid owners like the Fords (who let Japanese suppliers destroy their business); stupid GMs like Millen (what was his experience before being a GM with the Lions....oh right, TV announcer ... and funniest shiat is they gave him an extension after his horrendous performance) and then stupid fans like swamp poosay (6-2 = 6-2 = 6-2) :lol:

 

Only sweetness attributes wins to DL coaches now.

Not much else going on. I'd rather have my turn taking a sh!t in the board colostomy bag then get involved in discussions about Dwight Freeney's ankle or the never ending, epic pillow fight between Colts and Pats fans.

 

Beyond my wildest dreams I never thought I would have another shot at bashing a Mike Martz defender. Now I get to bash a guy that is defending, Martz, Mike Tice AND Rod Marinelli!! ALL IN THE SAME THREAD!!! The holidays have been extended for Mr. Gladstone!! Life is wonderful!! :mellow:

That is hilarious.

I seriously want to find a way for Mike Sherman to be a part of that coaching staff though.

Can we take up a collection to get him hired?

 

And if McCarthy is part of dumb and dumber...what is that...the triumvirite of ineptitude?

C'mon Marinelli won a SB as DL coach. That trumps his 0-16 with the Lions. :unsure:

Art Shell won Superbowls as a player with the Raiders!! If the hotly sought after Mike Tice ever gets lured away he'd make an excellent replacement as O-line coach.

in all seriousness, the only thing that could make this even better than it already is, is if the bears hired millen has a consultant or something. all the other pieces are in place.

 

the funny thing is that sweetmeat would defend the hiring of millen, too. he'd have to. he's one of those bearz fanz that snl skewered back in the day. can't possibly no how no way believe anything bad about da bearz.

Is Chicago officially a coaching graveyard now? I mean they couldn't find a D cooridnator, and their first like 50 choices turned down the O coordinator job. Now only ex-has been HC coaches desperate for another shot will interview and accept jobs with Lovie. 2010 Chicago Bears RIP :overhead:

Real Bear's fans get it:

 

I've been screaming for weeks that it would be Martz and Marinelli. Marinelli at DC will likely be the hire that sinks the Good Ship Lovie. Marinelli was the choice only because Lovie was too goddamned stubborn to make any changes to the defense and he was the only one out there who wouldn't challenge him and just work with the staff as-is. What a stubborn, closed minded fool Lovie Smith is! Instead of bringing in a new innovative coach with fresh ideas and letting him build a staff, he insisted on doing the same thing he has been doing for years, the defense that hasn't worked since he fired the only guy who had any success running it, Ron Rivera. Just like the OC hire, he alienated virtually all possible candidates with a drawn out interview process, dragged his feet, pouted, kicked and screamed until he got his way, again.

 

It makes me sick. This is their idea of "wholesale changes"? THIS??? THIS!!!!!! Rod Marinelli, Lovie's good buddy and sock puppet, arguably the worst head coach in modern history, gets the job of revising a pathetic defense. Well, I for one see right through this. Marinelli will just go back to coaching the D line and let Smith bulldoze him into calling whatever plays HE says to call.

 

Even worse, the imbeciles who sign Smith's paychecks have made it clear it's all about profit margins and stock options instead of winning, so the idea that he will be held accountable for the losing and for his obvious insubordination in refusing to make any significant changes despite management's pleas to the contrary is a huge "f#$k you" to the fans who have watched him piss away the last three years.

 

It's not too late though. If someone at Halas Hall had the wherewithal, the balls, the notion to do what's right, they would wipe the slate clean, fire Smith and Angelo, and make the biggest sales pitch ever to Bill owher to come in and clean up this mess. But sadly, the silence is deafening.

They didn't even try. My season tickets are going bye-bye. I have better things to do on Sunday than root for a team that won't even try. 30 years of serious Bears-rooting. Have fun everyone. Bye.
YES! That's what bothers me about this hire, if you want to even call it that since they probably just walked down the hall and begged him to do it. Marinelli said he would do it if they needed him, but expressed concerns about being the DC. Why would you hire a guy who's not completely confident in his ability to do the job?

 

They said he will call the plays and work with the d-line specifically, i.e. another Lovie situation where a coach has to focus on two things instead of one. That worked out really well this last season, didn't it fellas? They say in the presser that the dual role coaching experiment didn't work with Lovie, now they're asking Martz and Marinelli to do the same thing by coaching Cutler and the d-line and calling plays.

Ummm...I'd rather be in the SB independent of what it took to get there.

 

Of course you would, but that's because you root for the Chicago Lions.... your team hasn't mattered since Mr. Belvedere was on television B)

 

It doesn't matter that the Bears were the worst football teams ever to make the Super Bowl and that Rex Grossman was by far the worst quarterback every to play in the Super Bowl, you're just happy to be there! Six winning seasons in the last 18 years.... you're happy to be any where....

I don't know why you think that compares more favorably to the Packers who actually won a Super Bowl, were very close to winning another (The Broncos cheated ;) ) and much more recently lost to the Super Bowl Champions in OT in the NFC Championship Game. On top of that, the Packers have had a losing season only twice in the last 18 years... the opposite of your crapass Chicago Lions.

 

 

But then you jumped off the cliff with ecstacy just because Favre and the Vikings lost ....

 

I was mildly amused, but in the end it didn't really help the Packers as they look to take the next step from 11-5 to Super Bowl contender.... My team is very good and has been for the last 2 decades so my rooting doesn't center around simply hoping for the demise of other teams.... some day you perhaps will know what I am talking about.... :D

 

 

I think the Favre experiment was a huge success... .It forced hypocritical morons like you and Vikings fans to gargle his 40 year old nuts all season after saying he sucked for 16 years.... Favre will go into the Hall of Fame as a Packer, you will then revert back to saying he sucks and nobody will believe you because you've been smoking his pole constantly this entire season...

 

In the end, he screwed the Vikes over (The Vikes should be in the super bowl tomorrow)... he set that team back and their window is rapidly closing....

 

Meanwhile, the Packers have the youngest team in the league, ANOTHER HOF quarterback (while you're Bears mortgage their future -- probably would have been bad draft picks, anyways, so maybe they didn't -- for another in a long list of crappy quaterbacks), an 11-5 season and a very bright future....

 

While the Bears have been rebuilding for eseentially the last 2 decades, the Packers rebuilt in one year....

 

I understand your jealousy, but your obsession is unhealthy....

 

 

 

Packers > Bears

Past, present, and future :pointstosky:

look: lion fans are experts at understanding what doesn't work. we've had decades of experience watching it time and time again and getting sold a bill of bullshiat.

 

i can tell you the bears front office/coaching/personnel decision-making process is completely clusterfocked right now. what they've been doing is NOT a recipe for success. take the bs-laden links and the political soundbites and all the rah rah crap, wad it up, and stuff it. i've seen this play out before many a time.

 

trust me.

 

you keep whistling past the cemetery, though, sweetmeat.

 

the bears "brain" trust is in deep deep doo doo. no ifs ands or buts.

 

there is no way the bears are in any position to remotely compete with the vikings or the packers any time soon. the only question in doubt is whether they'll be able to stave off the lions and keep 3rd. and even that can now be hotly debated.

Hey skidmark, do you think any of those coaches would take the Chicago job if it was open? You guys couldn't even hire an offensive coordinator.

Many will over look this move hiring at this time of the year.

 

But Martz has shown to have a wizadry master mind like no splendor before.... since Coryell.

 

Jay will get blasted early and often. But if his diabetic pacemaker can hold up (they inplanted one inside his body), then you can pencil him in for 4,000 yds and 25 TDs.

Jay Cutler is already a 4,000 yard, 20+ INT guy. What exactly is Martz bringing to the table other then doubling his sack total? :thumbsdown:

 

They have a terrible o-line, two one-dimensional wr's, a good TE that will be ignored in Martz's offense, and a QB that is light years away from being anything close to Kurt Warner. Forget the Rams, I dont think Martz will even be able to match the success he had in Detroit.

Martz provides insight into his offense, Bears players

Last Updated: 2/9/2010 2:23 PM

 

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – New Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz discussed a variety of topics with ChicagoBears.com senior writer Larry Mayer Tuesday at Halas Hall.

 

LM: What are the first steps you’re taking to familiarize yourself with your new players?

 

MM: I’m watching all the games from this past season on tape. I go through all the games and then go back and do some cut-up work to familiarize myself with what the players are physically and where they are in their development, especially some of the young guys so I can have a better feel for where they are when we start.

 

LM: What’s the very first thing you have to do when installing a new offense?

 

MM: It starts with the basics: where we stand in the huddle, how you break out of the huddle and the cadence. It begins with the very basics of Pop Warner football and then progresses from there. You kind of force-feed them. We go at a quick pace. They’re expected to learn a lot soon and they’ll get used to that because that’s what we’ll do during the season.

 

LM: You often hear players say that learning a new offense is like learning a new language and that it doesn’t happen overnight. How confident are you that they will know your system as well as they need to by the start of the season?

 

MM: They’ll learn it by the time we open up. They’ll be comfortable with it and they’ll be excited about it. During the process there are always some guys—especially older veterans who have been in another system—that struggle with it a little bit. But it’s such an easy system and it has so much flexibility that once they stop fighting it and learn it, it becomes a lot easier for them and makes a lot more sense.

 

LM: What are some key characteristics of your offense?

 

MM: The biggest thing is that it’s a three-digit system in the passing game. Three receivers get numbers, so if you’re a receiver and you know what all those numbers mean, that’s all you’ve got to do. Everybody’s told exactly what to do on every play. All you’ve got to know is what a five-route is, what a swing route is. When you start to mix and match the numbers with the tags, the combinations are endless.

 

LM: What are your initial impressions of Jay Cutler?

 

MM: I think from a physical standpoint no one would ever argue that this guy’s got very unusual skill sets. I think what some people don’t realize is how committed he is to winning, and how important it is to him. He’s a perfectionist, and the elite players in the league are like that. If they’re not at the level they think they should be, they’re not happy. That’s one of the reasons why they’re elite players. I was very impressed when I met him. We had an instant connection. It just really felt like this is somebody who I can really connect with and get excited about what we’re going to do on offense.

 

LM: What do you see in Matt Forte?

 

MM: Matt’s a complete back. So many backs have little limitations here and there. Maybe they’re not quite a good route runner or in the running game they’re [better suited for] a gap scheme. But Matt can do all those things. He’s a complete back much like Marshall [Faulk] was and so many backs in the league are now. We won’t go into things thinking, “We’ve got to shy away from this because this isn’t a strength of his.” That’s not the case with Matt at all.

 

LM: There’s been a lot of talk about how Lovie Smith wants to emphasize the running game while your offense is more pass-oriented. How would you describe what the offense will be this season?

 

MM: It’s pragmatic. From week to week we’ll morph into whatever it takes to win. Some weeks we’ll run the ball a lot more than we did the previous week. Our personnel will take us in certain directions. The NFL’s all about personnel match-ups. If we have a dominant match-up in the running game, then that’s what we’ll try to emphasize. If we have a receiver match-up we really like, that guy’s going to get a lot of balls that week. You don’t know what you are as an offense because you’re going to have to change every week. If you’re not flexible and if you can’t move in and out of some of that stuff, you’re going to have a hard time.

 

LM: What role do you envision Devin Hester filling on offense?

 

MM: I think he’s still the best special teams return guy in the league, period. We have to be careful about how much we ask him to do on offense. That’s really a reason the Bears have won some games is because of Devin and what he does in the return game. So we’ll be very judicious in what we ask him to do offensively. But he’ll be very involved and we’ll ask him to do some really dynamic things where we can get him isolated in [favorable] personnel match-ups.

 

LM: I heard you say in a radio interview that Hester will line up more as an inside slot guy like Az-Zahir Hakim did for you with the St. Louis Rams. Is that true?

 

MM: He’ll be outside occasionally too. But if you put him in as a third receiver and move him around inside, who’s going to match up with him, either their third corner or a safety or a nickel back? That’s what we look for. To line him up outside and leave him outside on a good corner, he’ll win out there and do well. But to me the craziness of it would be to put him inside and if they stay in a zone or leave a linebacker on him, my goodness, we can’t get him the ball fast enough.

 

LM: Many outsiders felt that the Bears wide receivers would be a weakness in 2009. But they surpassed most expectations and performed well. What’s your impression of the group?

 

MM: When you look at what these guys are on tape and what they can be, it’s absolutely worth getting excited about. They will be a major reason why we win games here. This is just a dynamic group with tons of potential. I’m really anxious to see these guys together and start to learn the system. With the speed they have and the run-after-the-catch abilities, it’s just pretty incredible.

 

LM: Tight ends haven’t traditionally caught a lot of passes in your offense, and Greg Olsen is known more as a receiver than a blocker. What type of contributions do you envision him making?

 

MM: With any tight end in any offense, when you first start looking and say that he’s a receiver and not a blocker, there’s going to be an issue. Even when you ask Tony Gonzalez, he’ll say he’s first a blocker. Otherwise, you would play with a receiver. The good ones are good at both of those things, and Greg affords us the ability to get the best of both and be a complete player at that position. If we can get him to the same level both in the running game and the passing game, then you’ve got potentially the best tight end in the league.

 

LM: What are your impressions of the Bears offensive line?

 

MM: Chris Williams at left tackle is worth getting excited about. [New line coach] Mike [Tice] will do a terrific job with him over there getting him settled. The rest of the group is going to fall into place. We’ve got the best guy in the world working with them. I have complete confidence in that; that the quarterback will be protected and we’ll run the ball very effectively. This line is potentially a better group than I’ve had in many years. For us it all starts in the offensive line. That’s the center of the universe in football for any team. It keeps the defense off the field and allows you to do what you want on offense.

A Bears fan posted this on the footballguys.com board. I agree with this 100%....very nice post. :pointstosky:

 

================

 

Lovie Smith is 45-35 as the Bears HC.

 

He is the second best coach since Halas(Ditka being the best).

 

He has more postseason wins then Wanny and Jauron combined, even though Lovie has coached 6 years and they combined for 11.

 

He brought back a winning tradition against GB, overall.

 

He took them to the Super Bowl for the first time since 85.

 

 

In such a fast paced, what have you done for me lately society....having some consistancy within coaching can be a good thing.

 

Bill Cowher has had cycles in his career as well. He inherited a great team...then in 98 he went 7-9, 99 went 6-10, 2000 went 9-7....then guess what...because of consistancy in a system...they went 13-3 in 2001, 10-5 in 2002, 6-10 in 2003, then back to 15-1 in 2004.

 

Having players stay in a system is crucial.....Michael Haynes was a waste of a draft pick in Chicago b/c systems changed once Lovie came to town. What do you think will happen to all of his system players once a new coach is brought in....they will be all to waste.....until that coaches players develop.....but then if he doesn't win....get him outta there. Patience.

 

Lovie has went 7-9, 9-7, 7-9 in the past 3 years....I bet the Rams, Lions, Raiders, Bills would kill for that. In that stretch they have started 4 different QB's.

 

Be patient with Lovie and be patient with Cutler

 

And if you ever want the Bears to lose, your aren't a REAL fan.

If new Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz is coming in with a preconceived notion about Jay Cutler, it's that the quarterback is going to be a delight to work with in what will be a make-or-break season for the Bears.

 

Martz, visiting Tuesday with the "Mully & Hanley Show" on WSCR-AM 670, said Cutler has the same attribute he saw in former Rams and Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner: a desire to excel.

 

"I didn't see Jay as being difficult to deal with at all," Martz said. "I think that really elite players all have that in them, a sense of wanting to be perfect, wanting things absolutely right, and if it's not right they get frustrated. That was common with Kurt, it's common with all of them."

Martz, who started his new job Monday at Halas Hall, said he can't wait for Cutler to arrive so they can get to work. For now, he's working to familiarize himself with the roster and from the sounds of things, he likes what he sees.

 

Cutler excelled in Denver using his athleticism and rolling out of the pocket, and the Bears saw glimpses of that in the final two games of last season. Martz said he never has had a quarterback quite like Cutler and said Cutler has expressed a desire to still utilize play-action passing. But Martz believes Cutler can be at an elite level as a pocket passer.

 

"You can't put a fence around Jay and say, 'This is what he is,' " Martz said. "He's just too good of a player. There's nothing that this guy can't accomplish at a high level in the passing game. And what we're trying to do is broaden his horizon with that and come in and learn the five-step and the hot reads and really expand his knowledge because he will excel at whatever he puts his mind to doing.

 

"I don't know if I have ever been around anyone with this kind of skill or innate ability to throw the football. He's got Kurt's accuracy with a stronger arm. What he sees is way up above what normally really good quarterbacks see. Kurt is the best I have ever seen. But Jay has that kind of ability to see things, have the perception."

 

Martz touched on a variety of topics in the WSCR interview:

 

On the idea his offense is difficult to learn:

"If they're willing to learn it, they'll learn it. If they're open to it and they don't fight it, they'll learn it. But we'll put more on them intellectually than they have ever had before. That is the only way to get them to play at the highest level. If you're a good teacher, get after the details, if they're excited about what you do, I promise you they'll do it."

 

On what Lovie Smith said to him about running the football:

"Lovie knows what we do on offense. Running the football isn't about how many times you run it, it's how effective, how physical you are on offense. Anything up over 4.2 (yards per carry) is winning football and that's what we want."

 

On tight end Greg Olsen, the former first-round draft pick:

"All tight ends, their first responsibility, they have to put their hand down on the line of scrimmage and be a successful blocker, and then they move to receiving. To just skip by that and say, 'OK, he's a terrific receiver,' well, then you may as well just put another wide receiver in there. He can do these things. That is where people really have a difficult time with a tight end that is as well-rounded as he is."

 

On wide receiver Devin Aromashodu:

"He just excelled at the end of the season. He showed up in a very large way. This whole receiving group could end up being just a diamond. We're going to let them define who they are, let them push the envelope to excel even more than they thought they could."

Wow...more sunshine shoved up Martz's ass.

Hilarious...and shocking you would agree with a post praising Lovie or defending him.

Oh..and the FBG you quoted is one of the biggest homers on that board...its laughable how much in denial about any attitude issues about Cutler he is. He is basically you, with slightly more football knowledge and not as completely blind of a poster about other teams in the division.

As soon as he is fired you will flip and claim how you never liked him and that it was better for the team to start new.

 

You are predictable...and still the biggest moron on this board.

Martz provides insight into his offense, Bears players

Last Updated: 2/9/2010 2:23 PM

 

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – New Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz discussed a variety of topics with ChicagoBears.com senior writer Larry Mayer Tuesday at Halas Hall.

 

LM: What are the first steps you’re taking to familiarize yourself with your new players?

 

MM: I’m watching all the games from this past season on tape. I go through all the games and then go back and do some cut-up work to familiarize myself with what the players are physically and where they are in their development, especially some of the young guys so I can have a better feel for where they are when we start.

 

LM: What’s the very first thing you have to do when installing a new offense?

 

MM: It starts with the basics: where we stand in the huddle, how you break out of the huddle and the cadence. It begins with the very basics of Pop Warner football and then progresses from there. You kind of force-feed them. We go at a quick pace. They’re expected to learn a lot soon and they’ll get used to that because that’s what we’ll do during the season.

 

LM: You often hear players say that learning a new offense is like learning a new language and that it doesn’t happen overnight. How confident are you that they will know your system as well as they need to by the start of the season?

 

MM: They’ll learn it by the time we open up. They’ll be comfortable with it and they’ll be excited about it. During the process there are always some guys—especially older veterans who have been in another system—that struggle with it a little bit. But it’s such an easy system and it has so much flexibility that once they stop fighting it and learn it, it becomes a lot easier for them and makes a lot more sense.

 

LM: What are some key characteristics of your offense?

 

MM: The biggest thing is that it’s a three-digit system in the passing game. Three receivers get numbers, so if you’re a receiver and you know what all those numbers mean, that’s all you’ve got to do. Everybody’s told exactly what to do on every play. All you’ve got to know is what a five-route is, what a swing route is. When you start to mix and match the numbers with the tags, the combinations are endless.

 

LM: What are your initial impressions of Jay Cutler?

 

MM: I think from a physical standpoint no one would ever argue that this guy’s got very unusual skill sets. I think what some people don’t realize is how committed he is to winning, and how important it is to him. He’s a perfectionist, and the elite players in the league are like that. If they’re not at the level they think they should be, they’re not happy. That’s one of the reasons why they’re elite players. I was very impressed when I met him. We had an instant connection. It just really felt like this is somebody who I can really connect with and get excited about what we’re going to do on offense.

 

LM: What do you see in Matt Forte?

 

MM: Matt’s a complete back. So many backs have little limitations here and there. Maybe they’re not quite a good route runner or in the running game they’re [better suited for] a gap scheme. But Matt can do all those things. He’s a complete back much like Marshall [Faulk] was and so many backs in the league are now. We won’t go into things thinking, “We’ve got to shy away from this because this isn’t a strength of his.” That’s not the case with Matt at all.

 

LM: There’s been a lot of talk about how Lovie Smith wants to emphasize the running game while your offense is more pass-oriented. How would you describe what the offense will be this season?

 

MM: It’s pragmatic. From week to week we’ll morph into whatever it takes to win. Some weeks we’ll run the ball a lot more than we did the previous week. Our personnel will take us in certain directions. The NFL’s all about personnel match-ups. If we have a dominant match-up in the running game, then that’s what we’ll try to emphasize. If we have a receiver match-up we really like, that guy’s going to get a lot of balls that week. You don’t know what you are as an offense because you’re going to have to change every week. If you’re not flexible and if you can’t move in and out of some of that stuff, you’re going to have a hard time.

 

LM: What role do you envision Devin Hester filling on offense?

 

MM: I think he’s still the best special teams return guy in the league, period. We have to be careful about how much we ask him to do on offense. That’s really a reason the Bears have won some games is because of Devin and what he does in the return game. So we’ll be very judicious in what we ask him to do offensively. But he’ll be very involved and we’ll ask him to do some really dynamic things where we can get him isolated in [favorable] personnel match-ups.

 

LM: I heard you say in a radio interview that Hester will line up more as an inside slot guy like Az-Zahir Hakim did for you with the St. Louis Rams. Is that true?

 

MM: He’ll be outside occasionally too. But if you put him in as a third receiver and move him around inside, who’s going to match up with him, either their third corner or a safety or a nickel back? That’s what we look for. To line him up outside and leave him outside on a good corner, he’ll win out there and do well. But to me the craziness of it would be to put him inside and if they stay in a zone or leave a linebacker on him, my goodness, we can’t get him the ball fast enough.

 

LM: Many outsiders felt that the Bears wide receivers would be a weakness in 2009. But they surpassed most expectations and performed well. What’s your impression of the group?

 

MM: When you look at what these guys are on tape and what they can be, it’s absolutely worth getting excited about. They will be a major reason why we win games here. This is just a dynamic group with tons of potential. I’m really anxious to see these guys together and start to learn the system. With the speed they have and the run-after-the-catch abilities, it’s just pretty incredible.

 

LM: Tight ends haven’t traditionally caught a lot of passes in your offense, and Greg Olsen is known more as a receiver than a blocker. What type of contributions do you envision him making?

 

MM: With any tight end in any offense, when you first start looking and say that he’s a receiver and not a blocker, there’s going to be an issue. Even when you ask Tony Gonzalez, he’ll say he’s first a blocker. Otherwise, you would play with a receiver. The good ones are good at both of those things, and Greg affords us the ability to get the best of both and be a complete player at that position. If we can get him to the same level both in the running game and the passing game, then you’ve got potentially the best tight end in the league.

 

LM: What are your impressions of the Bears offensive line?

 

MM: Chris Williams at left tackle is worth getting excited about. [New line coach] Mike [Tice] will do a terrific job with him over there getting him settled. The rest of the group is going to fall into place. We’ve got the best guy in the world working with them. I have complete confidence in that; that the quarterback will be protected and we’ll run the ball very effectively. This line is potentially a better group than I’ve had in many years. For us it all starts in the offensive line. That’s the center of the universe in football for any team. It keeps the defense off the field and allows you to do what you want on offense.

Didn't he say the same things in SF? Thought so. :cry:

"He can take us in some areas we've not been before just because of his athleticism and his ability to throw on the move," Martz said. "What I told Jay is, if he's excited about doing those things, that's great. But you can't put a fence around Jay and say, 'This is what he is.' He's just too a good a player. There's nothing this guy can't accomplish at a high level in the passing game."

 

Asked to compare Cutler with Warner, Martz said, "He has Kurt's accuracy with a stronger arm. His mobility is unusual. What Kurt has that I see in Jay, which is really unusual, is the ability to make terrific throws under duress. More importantly, his ability to see things down the field and react to them very quickly. What he sees is above average. Kurt is the best I've ever seen at it. But Jay has that kind of ability to see things."

 

==============

 

What is Martz thinking saying Cutler has the accuracy Warner did with more arm strength....doesn't Martz know he needs to consult to retarded d!cks like the seahooker fans or the fudgepacker fans or worse, the lydown fans for advice on winning a Superbowl.

 

Oh wait. Martz has won 1 SB and been to another while the fudgepackers, seahookers and lydowns have not won anything in that same time span... :nono: :lol:

Since Sweetness was pulling things from FBG...how about these quotes found in there that replied to his little homer buddy.

 

 

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nf...p-advance_x.htm

Martz praised Kitna, giving him an A+ in intelligence, toughness and accuracy. Martz even compared Kitna to Kurt Warner, whom he helped turn into an MVP and Super Bowl winner in St. Louis.

 

ABSOLUTE 100% MORON. Believe nothing that comes out of this idiot's piehole.

Martz has said in the past that O'Sullivan compares favorably to the notable quarterbacks like Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger that he's coached in the past. On Thursday, however, Martz said O'Sullivan was more mobile than his former pupils.
