band-aid

But it would be a good band aid lol

It'd be better, but it would also shield the real issues and potentially give false hope.

I agree it would be a bandaid. Maybe a good bandaid, but regardless, not a long term solution.

 

Its funny. I spend years blasting Angelo. He then makes a move (Cutler) which has me really excited, and even calling him my new BFF. But after years of ripping Angelo, after I finally speak positive about him, most everyone else seems to have turned.

 

I don't care how Cutler turns out. I said than and still today. Cutler was a freaking great trade and move. With that said, the body of work is still very lacking. Angelo has always made a point of saying he is a draft first guy, but the lack of playmakers from our drafts over the years can't be over-looked. While he has found "nice" players later in the draft, which does deserve credit, they are not players that put a unit, much less a team, over the top. His draft history is simply weak. And his FA signings not much better.

 

While Angelo has not done a good enough job adding talent, the situation has only been made worse by a coaching staff seemingly incapable of (a) developing the talent brought in and ( best utilizing that talent. Lovie and Co know only one system, and a player is shoved into that system, whether they are a good fit or not. Turner may have a more broad base of knowledge in terms of systems, but is simply so predictable, it doesn't matter. And he too seems incapable of best utilizing talent.

 

Replacing Turner w/ Martz may well be an upgrade at OC, but we are in a situation that needs major changes, not tweaks.

The square-peg, round-hole phenomenon has been one I've mentioned frequently. And that's the problem.

 

Unless everyone involved is looking for good players that fit the system, it won't work.

If they are looking for great players who fit other systems, it won't work.

 

For instance, with this OL, the Bears need to draft Barry Sanders.
