What the hell is that?..."And, OK, you too Nate."??? What the hell is that?<BR/><BR/>Now you don't even deserve my two cents.<BR/><BR/>But what the hell...um, Griese sucks. He's been on teams with great defenses (Denver and Tampa Bay) and never won anything. The idea of having a quarterback who will "not lose the game" has worked in the past. Tampa Bay won with Brad Johnson, and Baltimore won with Trent Dilfer. With Griese at the helm, the Bears could probably get to the NFC championship and maybe even the Super Bowl. But if they want to win it all, they're going to need Good Rex. Of course, that takes the risk of Bad Rex showing up, but name one Super Bowl champion that didn't get a little lucky along the way.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889169796759342598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1164659163552413452006-11-27T14:26:00.000-06:002006-11-27T14:26:00.000-06:00guys, Guys, GUYS!

Honestly, which sounds more likely, Super Bowl winning QB Rex Grossman, or Super Bowl winning QB Brian Greise?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1164658699775865932006-11-27T14:18:00.000-06:002006-11-27T14:18:00.000-06:00Anyone who can quote Graham Parker is alright with...Anyone who can quote Graham Parker is alright with me. <BR/><BR/>Considering how soft the rest of the sked is, I say keep Rex in there. The Bears lost to one of the NFL's elite teams at home by only 4; that's no reason to panic. The extra confidence can only help him in the playoffs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1164653577871022082006-11-27T12:52:00.000-06:002006-11-27T12:52:00.000-06:00I tend to side with you in the belief that the Bea...I tend to side with you in the belief that the Bears offense overall wouldn't see very much (if any) improvement just by benching Rex. Brian Griese is a serviceable and solid #2 guy that can provide relief in a pinch, yet I don't see him being the world-beater that's going to lead us to the Super Bowl. If we're fortunate enough to get out of the NFC playoffs, a "game manager" isn't going to cut it against high-powered AFC offenses such as Indy or San Diego.<BR/><BR/>That being said, the most maddening thing about Rex for me is that there's absolutely no consistency from him on a game-to-game basis. He's either light-out on fire with his passes or is so off that an opposing cornerback like Asante Samuel ends up being the top "receiver" for the Bears. Granted, the only time most Bears QBs have ever shown any consistency is when they're consistently bad, but it's frightening to so see the huge swings in Rex's performances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1164651720497969762006-11-27T12:22:00.000-06:002006-11-27T12:22:00.000-06:00I'd say the Sun-Times was the winner there.I'd say the Sun-Times was the winner there.Vinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836050864225262267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1164637659022121142006-11-27T08:27:00.000-06:002006-11-27T08:27:00.000-06:00I think that pun-happy headline beats out all the ...I think that pun-happy headline beats out all the Chicago newspapers today.<BR/><BR/>Trib: Train Rex (my favorite)<BR/>Daily Herald: A Tale of Two QBs<BR/>Sun-Times: GROSS-Man!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515265223197297386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400569.post-1164598385531824922006-11-26T21:33:00.000-06:002006-11-26T21:33:00.000-06:00Right away, let me apologize for the forced, obscu...Right away, let me apologize for the forced, obscure music reference. It's meant to amuse me and my brother only, and I promise to never pull that again. Having said that, it stays.
