I don't care what his **** fundamentals are.  He could jump in the air and throw the fuking ball underhand between his legs to Marshall if the end results are TD's and wins.

It doesn't have to be pretty or perfect.  It just has to work.

If I'm Emery, the first thing I do after the new HC has moved into Halas Hall is I sit down with him and we watch that entire San Francisco MNF debacle from beginning to end.  Then when it's done I ask him point-blank what he's gonna do to make sure nothing like that EVER happens again.

Some tight spirals, some wobblers. Pay particular attention to the passes at the 0:59, 1:22, 1:44, 2:49, 4:34, 4:39, and 4:47 marks. Actually, skip that last one, if you want to avoid reliving past nightmares.

And remember - this is a highlights video.

It might be nice if Emery could ask that question BEFORE hiring our next HC. 

Definitely agree on Peyton Manning's wobblers from that last game

That last game?  Hell those are career highlights.  He has thrown wobblers forever.

Yet he is never criticized for his lack of fundamentals of the perfect spiral pass.

Jay Cutler could **** gold bricks and be criticized that they smelled funny.

Irregardless of who the new HC is, I think all current Bears players would be well advised to spend this offseason training like they've never trained before.

Emery cut his teeth on strength and conditioning and don't think for a moment that isn't a key piece in the new culture he's establishing.  I'm sure that just like the rest of us he noticed the ridiculous amount of injuries, the many one-on-one battles lost in the trenches and the inability for either the offense or the defense to finish games strong.  Camp Lovie is gone and I have a feeling that for the first time in a long time our players will be doing real work once the first training camp of the new regime opens for business.

It would also be good if Cutler, Marshall, Jeffery and some of the other WRs spent a LOT of time together these next few months playing throw-and-catch and just working on their general chemistry.  This has been standard operating procedure for guys like Manning, Brees and Brady for years.  I know the rules are pretty strict about what can and can't be done in that regard but the good teams find ways to skirt those restrictions.  I don't know if the new HC will require something like that (or if he's even allowed to )...  but if Cutler and Marshall are emerging as the leaders people want them to be, they'll make it happen somehow.
