Being a fan of the Chicago Bears, watching this junk that they’ve put out on the field in recent weeks hasn’t been easy. One week their offense looks great, and their defense doesn’t. Then the next week, it’s the other way around. But when a team struggles, most fingers start pointing at the head coach or the quarterback. And well, Rex Grossman’s dad doesn’t think it should be the quarterback people are blaming.

Yes, Jay Cutler has thrown a ton of interceptions this season. But is he the main reason why this team continues to struggle? Dan Grossman doesn’t think so. The man completely went off on the Bears’ organization in this interview with the Chicago Tribune.

You can read the entire story there, but here’s the quote that I found most interesting:

“I’m not even going to rip the coaches. It’s not even the coaches. The coaches are given a clear, strong message: ‘We’re not building an offensive passing team; we’re building an offensive running team.”

Maybe this guy has got a point. After all, the Bears were built around the run. That’s all we heard Lovie Smith talk about before this season started. Even though they picked up Cutler, they were still a running team. Well guess what, no they aren’t.

How about this: Cutler has thrown under 30 times in a game only twice this season. Last game against the 49ers? Threw it a season-high 52 times. And that’s what is disturbing for me. It wasn’t a game where the Bears were down 20 and had to throw to get back in it. They lost the game 10-6.

How many times did the Bears run it? 20 times. Simply ridiculous.

I will continue to be with Grossman’s dad on this one, and I’ll continue to take up for Cutler. Because the Bears front office has put him in a bad spot. Make all the statements you want about “well he’s the one that throws the ball!” Yeah, screw that. He’ll always be interception-prone because of his mentality, but there’s simply no excuse to throw the ball 50+ times with these receivers.

And if the Bears continue to do that, they might not win another game this season.
