Kyle Orton and Cedric Benson Thrive Away From The Chicago Bears

  The Chicago Bears offense seems to have problems developing players over the years.  Kyle Orton left the team and now he is having an All Pro year for the Denver Broncos leading them to their best start in years. He languished in a Bear offense that didn't develop his ability to be a leader.  It is no accident he is outplaying Jay Cutler so far this year. I expect to see Cutler regress as a quarterback now he is with the Chicago Bears. The Chicago Bears offensive coaches do a horrible job in getting players to perform to their draft ability. Greg Olsen is having a bad year and Matt Forte is having a disastrous one.

   Cedric Benson is another football player that got screwed by the Bears coaching staff and organization. He has gone so far as to say the Bears blacklisted him to other teams. Luckily for the Cincinnati Bengals they did not listen to what the Bears said about him. He has gained more than two hundred yards than Matt Forte thus far in the season. I am glad to see Cedric become the player people expected him to be once he got free from the Chicago Bears organization. This guy had tremendous talent that the Bears were never able to get out in three seasons. The Bears will see what they missed out on this weekend as Cedric will run all over his former mates. I shudder to think what would happen if Walter Payton came out to this current coaching staff and regime. The Bears don't develope many players because rookies get hazed by the veterans and are treated like Michael Jordon was treated by fellow veteran All Stars at his first All Star game. The Chicago Bears need to clamp down on the  personal drama and hazing of rookies. It ruined Cedric Benson's short career and who knows how many countless other players.
