Doesn't matter who calls the plays or sets the offense up if the players can't execute them, right?
You don't wanna quiz first graders with Algebra do you?
You don't wanna take a Monster Truck to a NASCAR race do you?
No pun intended but Cutler won't cut it in a "high powered" offense. The Bears need players as much as coaching.
Martz could build a decent offense, but you gotta have trained guys.
God Bless, Ray

Of course it was an awful game, but I still think he's a football player. Needs coaching and direction....more than anything else someone to kick him in the butt

He's a decent player no doubt, but my point was this; If he's accustomed to a short passing game and that's where he feels warm fuzzies, he may not be capable of transitioning into a 25+ yard throwing QB, at lest in terms of consistently doing so.
And most of all that depends on how well he takes critique/coaching. After all he IS spoiled and he rattles very easy.
But if he has grown, MAYBE, however I don't think so.
All my opinion.

God Bless,
Pretty much same here; he's one of the players I'm interested in watching over the years. See if he ever pans out
There's the cheezwhiz we all know.
I saw you guys signed Bulaga last week. I think he's going to anchor that line for years to come.

HEY MAN OUR TEAMS BOTH LOST LAST NIGHT!!
Don't draw the ol' TWO DAT just yet
God Bless, Ray
Pfft...preseason losses don't mean squat...nor do preseason wins...
...you REALLY think the Ray-duhs are a better team than the Cowgirls?
I know the Saints are a better team than the Pay-tweets...
However, had the Saints won last night, this thread would have been full of large font rants about how the Saints were going to go 18-0 and break every record in the book on their way to another Super Bowl victory.

Sheesh...
....get it right, it's 19-0 to win the SB undefeated!
And, while I'm crazy about my team, I'm not stupid enough to start counting preseason wins as a sign of anything, anymore than I am going to count losses as anything.
Instead, I will comment on what I did see:
Junior Gallette will be playing on Sunday this year - he was a one-man wrecking crew when he was on the field.
Jonathan Casillas looks very solid at LB, and Stanley Arnoux was in the mix and looking good (Arnoux is a favorite of mine, I really want him to do well)
Arrington looked OK, but dropped a sure TD on a slant in the 4th quarter
Larry Beavers (there's a name asking for trouble!
) looked FAST on a few returns, but needs to be more sure-handed to have a chance at making the rosterBoth Ramsey and Daniels looked good at QB - not season-long starter good, but 3-4 games keeping us out of trouble good, so I'm comfortable with our backup QB situation
Kickoff and punt coverage were awful, there are some guys that will be getting pink-slipped this week from those players
Only injury for us: Thomas Morestead had a minor dislocation of his shoulder - because he was making a tackle on a long runback allowed by the awful punt coverage. It appears he will be fine, but the good news is that Garrett Hartley (PK) filled in very well for him.
There are areas that were sloppy, need a lot of work in all three phases, but the pieces are in place, and the coaches have a good picture of who will and won't be up to the task now.

yes
On a serious note, I didn't see anything unexpected from the Raiders in that game. Well, at least in the highlights. A couple of nice looking passes from Campbell, spotty defensive play, interception, and some decent running out of Bush. Nothing to see here.
