Marshall Faulk’s first 3 years with Mike Martz as OC involved over 4000 yards and 37 rushing TDs at 5.4 YPC. That was in addition to the 2600 yards receiving he had in that same span.

-That’s all in addition to the 8000 career yards he already had on his legs from 5 years in Indianapolis. He was 26 years old when he went to St Louis. His production started to fall in 2002, when he was 29 years old. However…

-…Faulk didn’t have fewer than 1000 total yards until his last season as a pro in 2005

-He turned in 11,000 total yards in 7 years with Mike Martz.

He sure did waste some of Faulk’s best years, didn’t he?

Everybody knows Cutler throws too many dangerous passes which is why more often than not he’s chasing the league for interceptions thrown.

Combine that with an offensive coordinator who wasted some of the best years of Marshall Faulk and likes to throw on every down and you have a concoction for disastor.

Last year was a lucky fluke, medtxpack said it best, Martz knows he’s not going very far with Cutler.

Martz is free to look for other positions next year. Tice is locked in to a contract and if the Bears don’t allow him to interview for spots with other teams, he can look to Martz as to how to handle being an assistant coach.

Packers 21
Bears 14

Life rules.
