Wrecks Grossman's Days Are Numbered

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Alva Edison

I'm not sure the number is 10,000, but Chicago Bears Rex Grossman is doing a fine job of finding ways that don't work: throwing into triple coverage, off the wrong foot, etc, etc.

To say he sucks is an understatement. He's a joke. The laughing stock of the league. To think that he's actually a starting quarterback in the NFL is beyond me. His performance last night brought back visions of Rick Meirer, PT Willis, and Henry Burris.

And if I hear one more TV jackass (yes, you John Madden..whom my wife remarked "looks like he's going to drop dead of a heart attack at any moment.") talk about Good Rex/Bad Rex, I'm going to take an axe to his or her shins.

There is no Good Rex. Last season we saw SUN SHINES ON A DOG'S ASS REX. He had a few very lucky games against sub-par opponents. This season he has 1 Touchdown and 6 Interceptions. Last night his QB Rating was 27.5. Nice numbers, eh? Good Rex has left the building.

But now for the tricky part. The Bears Defense is NOW. They are in their prime. Yes, last night they gave up some points, but that will happen when they're on the field for 35+ minutes a game because your offense cannot sustain a drive.

Their Offense is light years from being competitive. The Quarterback is horrible, the Running Back moves his legs a lot then kind of falls forward.

Brian Greise is not the answer. Could it be Kyle "neck beard" Orton? Who knows.

The dilemma that the Bears will face, most likely very, very soon, is how long they can stand by their struggling quarterback. The coaching staff's decision to repeatedly say "Rex is our Quarterback" is not only being questioned by the public, but at this point, you'd think the players also. You can see the frustration in the eyes of every player on the field when he throws an interception (26 since the start of 2006, tied for most in the league in that time frame.)

To say that his approval rating is rivaled only by that of our Commander-In-Chief would be an understatement.

For the sake of everyone in the Second City, hopefully his tenure doesn't last as long.
