Random Ramsdom, 2/2: More Vick to the Rams talk

if he never was? His highest QB rating in his career if I’m not mistaken is in the 70s.

im more comfortable with vick being our starting qb than bulger or boller

First, Jerry Angelo told Lovie he wouldn’t even interview Martz (Lovie wanted him badly). But after everything else fell through (getting turned down by everyone else and resorting to interviewing QB coaches the past week and a half), the Bears gave in and hired Martz because they’d pretty much cut off their nose to spite their face.

Btw, you should hear them spin it like they just got the guy at the top of their list. It’s humorous.

Anyway, with that O-line in Chicago, coupled with the lack of quality recievers and virtually no running game. This is going to fail. Good luck getting Devin Hester past page one of the Martz playbook.

So, with a desperate need to upgrade the O-line and recievers and absolutely no way to do so with all the RFAs because of the un-capped year, there’s no way they can improve the offense.

With that being said, the Bears will struggle and Lovie (and Angelo) will finally get fired (which should have happened this year when they fired all of his coordinators) and Martz will once again be looking for a job.

only works if you have 5 backs on the field who run 4.4s and you have Kurt Warner at QB (and great pass blocking). Any deviation from that formula and your QB will get killed and you will turn the ball over 5 times a game. Remember when it all started to fall apart and Kurt Warner was dumped. There was a time when Martz had Faulk, Warner, Bruce, and Holt, and we started 0-5.

Martz has done things to offenses that had no business to do anything. Lets look at his history.
With Stl. he helped Warner, a former bag boy with a laser arm, run the most complex offense in the league.
He then transitioned a back-up QB in Bulger to fill his shoes and take the place of Warner, all the while becoming a Pro-Bowl QB.
Then he went and took the shit job in Detroit, where he had John Kitna running that offense, with one of the worst O-lines I have ever seen. They put up great numbers and at one point I think they were like 6-2, solely because of their offense. That is not very Detroit like.
He then took the position in SF, where he had the great JT O’Sullivan. Now, I grew up with O’Sullivan’s little bro and I watched him since the high school days. He is not much of a NFL QB, other than maybe a back-up. Nonetheless, Martz had JT O’Sullivan throwing all over teams, and the guy was putting up 300 yard games. It was like JT was back in NFL Europe.
There is no doubting the guy is a crazy SOB, with a highly ellaborate offense. He sometimes has questionable play calls….but there is also no doubting that he makes any offense better. I thought Chicago made a good move…although I am curious to see after working with back-ups eager to learn and earn their keep, how he will do with a Prima-Dona like Cutler.

It’s the quality players (even latent ones) that made the Martz schemes look good, not the other way round.

Why doesn’t Kyle Boller say that so we can have a top 10 QB.
Pretty cocky for a guy who completed less than 50% of his passes last year and threw for a whopping 86 yards. And his running game was extraordinary too. 95 yards. You must be a top 10 player in the NFL if you can accumulate a grand total of 181 yards in 12 games. Oh and 77 of those yards came on two plays. That being said, I’d still be okay with him for a year or two because at least he’d put fans in the seats (even if they are protesters from PETA), adds some excitement, and buys us some time for grooming. But nothing above a 5th rounder for him. And I probably wouldn’t give up our first 5th rounder. I’d just give the Eagles theirs back. Making it Vick and Gibson for Witherspoon.

haha! That was a great laugh. We need to draft a QB in this year’s Draft (I’m throwing my support behind Jimmy Clausen.) Vick hasn’t been a top tier QB ever – why does he think he is now??
