No Coach or GM Can Save the Chicago Bears as Long as Jay Cutler Is Their QB

The Chicago Bears could bring in Bill Walsh. Wouldn't matter.They could hire the product of a genetic experiment that spliced the DNA of Bill Parcells, Vince Lombardi and Paul Brown. Wouldn't matter.

They could hire a Super General Manager. Like Superman. Except a GM. Faster than a speeding draft. Wouldn't matter.There is one truth with the Bears, and it is an obvious truth and constant truth and a truth that this great franchise needs to address. No matter who they hire to replace GM Phil Emery and head coach Marc Trestman, who were both fired Monday, it won't matter until they get rid of Jay Cutler.

"The No. 1 problem is Cutler," said the best analyst on television, Hall of Famer Cris Carter. "If Cutler plays well, the general manager is there and the head coach is there."But the alternative is to be stuck in Cutler hell. Getting schooled twice a year by the Packers. Shuffling coordinators. Head coaches. GMs. Stuck on that Cutler merry-go-round of putrid decision-making.

Mike Shanahan is being discussed as a Trestman replacement, according to CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora. Cutler likes the idea. The two had mild success together in Denver. It won't matter. The Bears could pair Shanahan with Tom Landry. It won't matter as long as Cutler is there.
