Balta1701 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Matt Leinart finally gets his shot!!!.... er.... nevermind. I'd imagine they'd be players for McNabb if the Iggles are going to move him. Maybe more so than Minny, given that Minny will probably expect 4 back no matter what he says in March.

iamshack Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Is it really a matter of having gone through all these other candidates to "appease" others with in the Organization? Or are we more like the Oakland Raiders and no one wants this job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 No one wants to be the guy whose job is dependent on Cutler and one year of Lovie Smith. It is a terrible situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco72 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm not a huge Martz fan, but hiring him does make a ton of sense. Lots of connections to the current coaching staff, successful offensive coach... plus the Bears really should be a "pass first" team until they can get any semblance of a running game going again. Watching the Bears constant run themselves into bad passing situations last season was incredibly frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) I lean towards yes on Warner's HOF credentials. In my opinion, Kurt Warner should be a LOCK for the HOF. I know that he had talent around him and had some s***ty years in the middle of his career, but the guy could absolutely light up defenses. I don't remember the actual number but I think he threw for over 300 yards in nearly half of the games he played in, that is completely ridiculous. Again, this is just my opinion... but Warner had a great career and deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Warner is a HOF to me. His post season numbers make a very strong case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 He is one of, if not the best, accurate passing QBs to play the game. I believe he holds a s***load of records in the post season especially in pure accuracy and ratings. Guy is quite a story. From undrafted, to bagging groceries, to playing arena football, to being cut on practice squads, to quarterbacking a team to a super bowl and winning it, to losing his job to Marc Bulger after a s***ty few games, to "should have" lost his job to Matt Leinart but he was too good, to leading that team to a super bowl and another playoff appearance. Not gonna debate first ballot, but the guy is a HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 So Martz has actually traveled to Nashville now to meet with Cutler. I really, really hope, should they hire him, that they push whatever buttons are necessary to get field turf installed at Soldier Field.

HuskyCaucasian Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Martz is the OC. Just hired. Lovie got his man. http://twitter.com/BradBiggs/statuses/8512570281 "Mike Martz has been hired as the #Bears offensive coordinator" Edited February 1, 2010 by Athomeboy_2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Great so Jay Cutler will be on his 4th different OC going into the 2011 season. With a bad O-line that will be without Olin for most of the learning curve and a below average receiving corp this thing could be epically bad.

With a bad O-line that will be without Olin for most of the learning curve and a below average receiving corp this thing could be epically bad. Wait until after the off-season to comment on the makeup of the team. I think a WR will be added in f/a and can only hope that the Bears sign someone for the OL too. So far despite all the criticism the Bears have gotten Tice/Martz have been very solid hires. Anyone know what kind of candidates are lined up for the D-Coordinator job?

Well, it wasn't particularly unforseeable that it would happen. It was a pretty obvious hire, in my opinion. Now let's get the field turf and reinstate the greatest show on turf, baby.
