Source: Weis intrigued by Bears job
http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nf...ory?id=4799863
CHICAGO -- It appears the Chicago Bears won't have a shortage of candidates to replace Ron Turner, who was fired as offensive coordinator on Tuesday. ESPNChicago.com Bears blog The latest news from Bears beat reporter Jeff Dickerson. Blog Former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is interested in the possibility of coming to Chicago, and he is currently holding off pursuing a similar role with the Kansas City Chiefs because of Tuesday's developments at Halas Hall, according to a source close to the Bears. Weis was the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots from 2000-04, playing a role in three Super Bowl championships. He also was the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets from 1997-99. Weis was fired as Notre Dame's head coach on Nov. 30 after a five-year record of 35-27. Former St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz also said he "absolutely" would be interested in replacing Turner. Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is believed to be lobbying hard for ex-Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates, who spent last season calling plays for USC. |

OTWP - How is 26 INT's acceptable though? I was pissed Cassel had 16... plus i thought a good QB will normally have a 2-1 ratio td/int

If he is the Vince Young that showed up the last 8 games of the season, in a heartbeat I would.

All we need from Cutler is an "I can't throw it and catch it" incident with the media and then a development of the classic Grbac "oh shit, I just threw a pick, time to play hurt" technique, and the two would be indistinguishable. They're already equally popular with their teammates.

by the way cutler, OTWP, has a career 77/66 td/int ratio with a yards/pass attempt ratio of 7.18... for a first round pick in his 4 year, wouldnt you think he would be better? Would you not be pissed if Cassel had the same numbers? I know i wouldnt be happy if Cassel, in 3 years has those numbers... (and a 24-29 record as a starter to boot)

http://www.nfl.com/players/jaycutler...e?id=CUT288111 Any guess as to what Peyton Manning's ratio was his first 4 years? 1.37 And he was a #1 overall pick, surrounded by superior talent. Cutler's biggest problem is forcing the ball because he feels it's all on his shoulders. In Denver, he had to score 35 to have a chance to win a game. In Chicago, he's trying to overcome a lack of talent around him. If he ever figures out how to overcome that feeling of having to do everything, the sky is the limit. Because right now, the only thing holding him back is his turnovers, and like I said, he has a positive TD/INT ratio, and has never thrown more INT's than TD's in a season. |

regardless though, this year his td/int ratio was bad... right? and his 6.6 avg per pass attempt was not good right? Cassel in year 2 as a starter has a 1.37 ratio... and a 6.6 avg... how is he not given a pass too? |

Cutler's numbers are based over 4 years, and this year was his worst, was still better than Cassel in every category but INT's, and Cutler had much, much less to work with. If Matt Cassel did what Cutler did in 2007 or 2008, people wouldn't be complaining. Problem is, Cassel will likely never do those things, because he doesn't have talent, nor does he have the downfield accuracy necessary. |

You must have missed post #160, because you skipped over it.

Carlos, if you think the only thing holding Cassel back is turnovers, I have some oceanfront property in Eastern Missouri I'd love to sell you. |
