Mike Martz: I Coach the Heck Out of Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler

Filed under: Chicago Bears, NFC North

There have been suggestions in some quarters -- in the Chicago media and around the NFL -- that Bears quarterback Jay Cutler could use a good mentor.

Mike Martz says Cutler already has a mentor, thank you very much.

"We do coach the heck out of him, despite what others might say,'' Martz snapped when asked about Cutler needing coaching by the Chicago Tribune. "And I have been doing this for 39 years, so I do think we know what we're doing. A quarterbacks coach? That's what I am. That's what I get paid to do.''

It's fair to question, though, whether Martz has done a good enough job with Cutler. Although Cutler had some big games with the Bears last year, he also laid an egg several times -- including in the NFC Championship Game, when he played lousy in the first half before leaving early in the second.
