"Mad" Mike Martz

Regarding the quality of quarterback play in the Rams' loss to Arizona on Sunday, head coach Mike Martz said,

It's tragic for this football team, for that position to hold this whole football team hostage, but that's where we are.

Sure Mike. The problem obviously wasn't a defense that gave up almost 300 yards passing and four total touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) to a third year quarterback who was benched just two weeks ago. The defense has only given up 25.4 points per game, 25th in the league, so that can't be the problem. Surely the problem isn't an offensive line that gave up two sacks in the first quarter alone against the Cardinals, and six sacks the two weeks prior, including the one that took Bulger out to begin with. The offensive line has given up 45 sacks on the year, fourth highest in the NFL, for a total of 329 yards lost, second highest in the league, so that cannot be the problem. The running game is putting up 97.7 yards per game, 28th in the league, so that cannot be the problem. It's the quarterback position that's holding the team hostage. I see. I see why they call him "Mad" Mike, that is.
