The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... New HC Marc Trestman made it clear in his first press conference that Cutler's going to be a pet project. Trestman said he'd handle offensive play-calling, and that getting off to a good relationship with Cutler was going to be essential. "I can't wait to get my hands on him," Trestman said. "That starts today."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The new coach stressed that "the quarterback has to play at an efficient level," but also pointed out problems the Bears had last year that had not as much to do with Cutler. "This guy loves football," Trestman said of Cutler. "He wants to be great. And hopefully we can give him some direction and protection." Cutler said Wednesday he expects a quarterback-friendly offense and indicated he can't wait to get going in what will be his fourth offense in five seasons with the franchise. "It's a great hire," Cutler told the team's website. "I couldn't be more excited. I've talked to guys around the league and did my own research on him. He's an offensive mind, a great person and a guy that's going to come in and hopefully lead us to many victories in the future. ..." Getting along is a good start -- especially when it comes to Cutler. Which makes it all the more interesting to see how Cutler
takes the firing of QBs coach Jeremy Bates.
