Part of being an NFL caliber coordinator is adapting to the talent you have. Martz has simply failed in that regard. The only player used according to skillset is Forte. He continues to ask players to do what they are physically or mentally unable to do. Add to that, his stubbornness and huge ego are going to get Cutler disabled. The talent is JA and Lovie(some rumored to be Martz), how it is utilized is Martz. He simply has not delivered. IMO-it still falls squarely on Jerry and Lovie for bringing this nutcase in.

I don't think he's expecting money comparable to what they got. I do think JA lowballed him. Lastly, I believe Connor Bear was right when he said they'll get a deal done.

Bet that felt good.

Why did I know someone was going to say that? LOL

I feel your pain. I had similar post about 3 years ago. Wonder if we would have been better off keeping Orton and the picks. The biggest screw up of all was hiring Martz. I'll never be a fan of what he does. He simply destroys QB's. But, that's only part of the point. Martzs' system is simply not suited for the type of QB Cutler is. It's like hiring an Indy car crew chief to run a NASCAR team. It just doesn't fit. Cutler should be in a Steelers, Chargers, Packers and even the Lions type of offense.

10-0 when Forte carries 25 times. Nuff said.

I never realized how many players are free agents next year. My guess is that we'll see some mid season extensions to go against this years cap. That will leave additional money to make splashes, if needed. I'm not a cap guy, but it makes sense to my limited knowledge. Thoughts?

Blacked out in Indy.

Lol

Of course, it's not my money, but I'd almost overpay to keep him around. Market value has been established.

I'm still thinking 5yr/45mil is fair for both. Angelo needs to up the guaranteed to about 16 mil.

Many Reebok players are going to be wearing the gloves and shoes. Here's what I find interesting; guys like Reggie Wayne sought permission from the NFL. Guys like Briggs said, look at me, I'm gonna get fined. If you are going to honor our fallen, just STFU and do it. Any other way, especially drawing attention to yourself, is just disrespectful. Hopefully Lance has it in perpective.

The Packers are sick. I hated saying that.

That's horse crap. The line is 2.5. I'm taking our boys! If we lose by that, I'll be the one starting the annual fire Lovie post!

Bubble screen...

Totally disagree. He never made it to mediocre. The only value he ever had on D, was off the corner blitzing. And that was about 4 times a year. There's a reason D Manning is not on the team anymore. Lovie took him under his wing and failed. He is probably one of the most un-instinctive players ever to wear a Bears uni. I'll take Meriwether 10 times over him. Don't believe the fluff in the papers...

Those are the ones that take too long to be cut. Lol

Not knowing you, that is what I figured. Most would do the same my friend.

I think we need to determine Forte's value to our team. For one, I think it is immense. Also, there is nothing close to him on this team. He has been a work horse and model citizen. He, over Briggs, deserves to be paid handsomely. I'd take him over Gore in a heartbeat.

If you were in the middle of a binding contact and they depended on you for the success of their business and you used a lawyer to weasle out of the the deal... Yes, you are a turd. But, I highly doubt that is the case on all counts.

R.W. McQuarters. I still see him begging for a lateral, when he should have been blocking. Cost us a Td and potentially the game. Most selfish play I've ever seen. Now, I'm angry. Lol!

Think Forte gets 5 years 45 mil.

I'm more for leaving Garza at center for now. He has had the opportunity to play next to Olin for several years and is the undisputed leader of the OL at this point. Now, if an all pro guard is cut for cap reasons, I sign him and relegate Louis to the pine for another season. Also, so far Williams has been or best lineman.

I will lay money that he is brought in for a look. He would valuable insurance. Gohlston is worthless and Wooten is healing. If he can play 15 snaps a game, he can at least be a valuable run defender. Make the move JA!
