John Fox to Bears

I was very frustrated with Fox in Carolina and obviously Elway was too here in Denver.  IMO, you can be a very good team under Fox, but you'll never be a great team under Fox. BUT, with that said, Fox and his mentality may be exactly what the Bears need right now. We've seen the Bears and Cutler trying to be a high flying offense. It didn't work. I think Cutler can be successful in a Fox system of pounding the rock and using the run and play action to setup the pass. Fox is a ball control coach, but he does like to setup the big play downfield with the run and Cutler and those WRs are perfect for that. If Cutler and those WRs can accept putting the ball in the air 25-30 times instead of 40+, it can work. Can Cutler and Marshall accept that though? Hell, can management accept that when they're paying Cutler like he's the second coming of Joe Montana?

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
