Kayfabian Messiah: Charles Tillman, the NFL’s Worst Cornerback of All Time

Throughout the season we will feature the ramblings of unapologetic Bears fan (and Cutler/Lovie hater) the Kayfabian Messiah. For more KM, you can check out "Thoughts from the Inner Walls."

I hadn’t written anything in weeks because there was really not a lot to say. The Bears beat the Browns & Rams & other than that had performed like the Oakland Raiders almost all year. Last night was a huge game & showed that they are not a terrible team, but revealed a lot of why have nots.

The first is one that has bothered me since the beginning of the season & will be the drum that beats Lovie Smith & Ron Turner out of jobs. Why was Devin Aromashodu not starting all year? He played excellently in preseason. The only reason it seems Earl Bennett got a starting job was more to kiss Jay Cutler’s ass because they were college teammates. I have never had a problem with Devin Hester or Johnny Knox in those roles because they actually work hard & excel. Bennett is just not anything more than a wideout. He is blameless personally because nobody is going to say I don’t want to be a starter. But this Mangini like Favre love put on Cutler by Lovie & Turner began with that half-assed decision.

The second one was a blessing in disguise. Last year, the Bears went 9-7 but they easily could have had several more wins. One guy on defense had them blow multiple leads with his outrageously terrible coverage of wide receivers, inability to keep his own balance & all around blooper reel like qualities. That man is Charles Tillman, the NFL’s worst cornerback of all time. Your job as a CB is to guard WRs. If you can’t keep up with them and/or run the easiest of routes not only shouldn’t you start but you should be out of the league!


The dumb ass logic of keeping Tillman as a starter (despite drafting his replacement that is faster & 100 times better) is things he does in the community. Now I love players who give back & stuff but this isn’t tee ball where everyone gets a chance to play. These guys are getting millions of dollars! This isn’t a volunteer job! He is not doing his job! Tillman has been beyond terrible including his infamous clumsiness of tripping over himself. If you are great in the community & no longer can cut it as a player then retire & join the player’s association as a goodwill rep! But because his true colors are about the money he won’t! That is the Charles Tillman hypocrisy!

Instead he undermines a team’s defense & they are forced to play two games on defense. One is the Bear’s defense against the opposing offense. The second game is the Bears Linebackers & Defensive Ends having to do his job & almost play against him for the defense to succeed. This is why the defense did well for a while against Minnesota because the LBs & the DEs continued to push through not allowing Tillman to be the blocker. When Tillman was the blocker guys like Peterson easily threw him to the ground as if he was as imposing a 95 lb ref. That was on top of the clumsiness & screw ups of the routes.

When this horribly inept joke of professional football CB got hurt (which was like winning the Superbowl to me) all of sudden the secondary was able to make a ton of stops & held the Vikings to a FG. What a coincidence! As a matter a fact even in OT it was obvious that the Vikings struggled to move the ball once this disgrace to every player to ever play in the league on the secondary was out of the game. This is another reason Lovie Smith will be canned. Tillman is one of his best friends. He hired another one of his friends to miscoach the defense last year & obviously that failed. He does as well with separating friendship from professionalism as Robert Downey Jr. usually did with sobriety!

It makes it far worse because the Bears drafted DJ Moore who is faster & far better than Tillman & after last night more than anything it was obvious Tillman sucks on a national scale; so why Lovie are you still starting him? These kinds of boneheaded moves not only will fire Uncle Ben but its going to make it damn hard for him to get a coordinator job even in the CFL! Imagine if the Giants fire Sheridan & hired this goof! He would probably fall in love with CC Brown & push to start him every week even though the guy is obviously awful.

All in all it was great to see my favorite team beat my least favorite team & at least the Bears have an attempt to go 7-9 which is far better than the 4-12 finish I was sadly anticipating several weeks ago. However, it also is a disgrace with the talent they have to not make the playoffs the last 3 years & the incompetent coaching was even worse than the issues on the Browns, Raiders & Chiefs in many many ways! Since great things were not allowed to be used all year, the showcasing of talent that was constantly benched only makes you look than much worse as a coach. It may have been the worst thing to happen to Smith (and the greatest things for Bears fans) because now a new coach is going to be able to come in here & do these things & make things happen. Goodbye Uncle Ben & Good Riddens!

Kayfabian Messiah: Your team won & you’re not happy?

I guess some fans are delusional at times. When a team comes off a 9-7 season, is anticipated to do far better but ends up on a pace for 6-10; there’s hardly anything to be happy about! Also with all due respect to certain reporters & dozens of annoying mouthpieces who do not watch Bears games in whole each & every week, how are you qualified to make criticisms of good & bad? It’s a lot to pay attention to every missed tackle, screwed up assignment & miscue to the point where you can call an interception or predict an opposing team to go down field on a given play that can’t be summed up by simply watching a 5 second highlight!

When you see a head coach for THREE YEARS continue to use these same failed plays with the defense & it gets to the point where you can predict how badly the team is going to fail, there’s no a lot to be happy about! Everyone in the media likes to point fingers to everyone but the obvious. Most journalists like to use the Babe Ruth method for Jay Cutler of kissing his ass & putting the blame elsewhere. Perhaps this is why he has this ego since the dimwitted tools on the Bears’ coaching staff do the same. When you are a coach, you do not treat a player like royalty & kiss his ass as if you were the president of their fan club!

Brian Urlacher, who is the widely the most respected player on the Bears right now, spoke out against the errors of having Cutler over Orton & how Lovie & his crew of morons has lost the identity of the team in the process of picking him up. The Bears have always been a running team offensively. That is their identity. You don’t see the Vikings stop going to Adrian Peterson with the addition of Brett Favre’s arm. They utilize both talents like any common sense coaching crew would do. One that doesn’t shouldn’t even be coaching at the pee wee level!


Also in response to morons in the media, Urlacher HAS EVERY RIGHT TO COMMENT! He is the team captain! And he is not the type of person to publicly call this team out ever! Urlacher is a class act! So when he makes comments such as this; you shut up & listen! He had to make the comments because the extremely lackluster joke of a disciplinary machine the Bears call a coaching staff won’t do that! They don’t do anything! The Bears did win a game yesterday & Lovie looked like he didn’t have a clue what the hell was going on! I’m sure that’s a familiar feeling in his daily life!

I see so many teams with problems but they have coaches that actually fix them! Whether you bench a top player to get the team fired up or the bench a player that plays awful for one who plays better; it all works out for the best. But the latter is that ‘common sense’ thing which is above Lovie Smith’s head. The #1 rule with that one is with his idol, Charles Tillman. Any other coach would have cut Tillman by now! This guy for the most part over the last three years has far & away become the worst CB in the NFL! Sadly, the Bears drafted a quicker far better CB in DJ Moore! The genius Lovie has let him play zero times in regular season! Another brilliant move by this crack (er crap) staff!

So, until this disgrace to the legacy of George S. Halas Sr. is fired along with his deplorable coaching staff, things will never change! They had far less talent in past years & won because they were coached far better during previous head coaches’ stints. Without leadership, discipline, direction & accountability things will continue to be awful.

This BS about the WRs & other stuff is fodder from people who watch 5 seconds of Bears highlights a week. Sure Cutler is to blame somewhat & there are problems on both sides of the field, but 95% of the problems all point to the coaching staff! Once the right staff is brought in, things will improve & many franchises have proven that theory correct for years!

Kayfabian Messiah: Time For Change In Chicago

As a new feature to HHR, we will feature the ramblings of unapologetic Bears fan (and Cutler/Lovie hater) the Kayfabian Messiah. For more KM, you can check out his recently launched "Thoughts from the Inner Walls."

The time is now for change in Chicago. For the last 3 years, Lovie Smith (aka Mr. Rogers) has done nothing but denigrate a team with more talent than Dick Jauron’s 2001 #2 seed Chicago Bears. There’s nothing wrong with the WRs. People who say that are on the useless Jay Cutler bandwagon. He’s an average quarterback with a gigantic ego. Here you have a team that is built on running with a RB who ran over 1500 yards last year. Cutler convinces terrible Offensive Coordinator Ron Turner to pass it more.

Now, when you have talent at RB; why not use it? Turner has successfully destroyed & turned this team into a one dimensional team. All this BS about Devin Hester is just that. He is doing the best he can with a QB who constantly overthrows & under throws. Randy Moss & Larry Fitzgerald couldn’t catch most of the crappy passes that Cutler throws. There is talent with Cutler but it can only harnessed by a legit coaching staff with DISCIPLINE! Ned Flanders is more of a strict disciplinarian than Lovie Smith.

The lack of leadership is the true problem. When you have no accountability for doing bad things & acting like a whiny douche like Jay Cutler; what’s to make him stop this behavior? Where’s the accountability of being punished for continuously playing terribly? No where! At least in Carolina there is pressure on Delhomme to perform well or be benched as it should be anywhere. You are paid a lot of money to play as a starting QB! This isn’t little league where everyone gets a chance!

Basically, it all dwindles down to the message sent from the top. Shanahan would not take any crap from head cases like Shannon Sharpe, Brandon Marshall or Cutler. And they respected him. How the hell can anyone respect Lovie? He doesn’t do anything! Tommie Harris gets ejected & there are no consequences for his actions! He also as coach & Defensive Coordinator doesn’t change failed plays & continues to executive them despite the constant failure. Everything he does (or doesn’t do for that matter) is the definition of world’s worst leader.

Obviously, fine, Jay Cutler is a selfish tool but it’s the coach’s job to punish a player to put him in line to be a team player. There are plenty of hot headed arrogant QBs but when push comes to shove; they are all team players. Cutler is truly the first in years to behave this way & obviously it has everything to do with the fact that he can get away with it. Lovie kisses this kid’s ass & is more of his cheerleader! He doesn’t even care when he performs badly.


When have they worked with Cutler (if ever) after a bad game? This week with Minnesota you could tell Lovie didn’t even bother to prepare his team at all! Then you have Lovie’s other ‘boyfriend’ Charles Tillman. For the most part over the last 3 years, Tillman has proven himself to be the worst CB in the entire NFL. Nobody is slower in coverage against WRs, trips over his own feet more, always runs the opposite way of the WR & consistently performs worse than Tillman! But Lovie won’t bench him!

In fact they drafted a CB who proved to be faster & better at running routes! Does Lovie use him at all? NO! Then you have Corey Graham who is a better CB than Bowman & Vasher & Lovie plays him out of position. The terrible secondary issues are what caused the multiple blown leads last year. That’s why it made no sense in trading for a QB. That was not the problem last year; it was the defense.

Lovie’s solution is don’t fix the problem but attempt to improve something that wasn’t the problem to begin with & give up draft picks for 2 years! One idiotic decision after another & an execution of the worst leadership ever has led up to this season which is a probable 6-10 finish. It’s all on Lovie Smith!

It’s not a coincidence that the Bears haven’t made the playoffs since Ron Rivera was let go & that the Chargers have not been winless in the playoffs since getting him. The worst thing the NFL ever did was giving that moron (Lovie Smith) coach of the year. They should give it to coordinators who carry the team. The Bears won in spite of a coach who was obsessed with starting the worst QB ever. There were games when the defense did all the scoring. As a matter of fact between the special teams with Hester’s brilliant rookie year & the takeaways by the defense it was all done on the other side.

Lovie (like now) ran a crappy team & Rivera carried his ass! Lovie wanted to prove he could run the defense. What he has proven since 2007 is that he flat out sucks! I swear the day he’s fired will be as happy as the day the Bears won the NFC Title for me. He is a disgrace to the Halas legacy & it’s an insult that he still holds that job urinating on it! The time is now to fire the Bears worst coach ever & sign a legit head coach & not another hack coordinator!
