Chicago Bears - Rex Grossman Debate
I love the game, I love the Bears, followed them for many years. I actually saw Rex in training camp his first year with the Bears, I thought to myself, wow..what an arm.
The guy can throw..but let’s get some consistancy. One of our in house exhibit account executive’s is a football die hard, only having one word..which you see left!
I would have to say, it may be time to move him into a position where he can learn some consistancy. Would we keep a vendor who continually crushes our product? Would we continue to ship exhibits with a company who constantly lost a shipment?
The Bears won - that’s great, but where is the constant? Why are they marketing Rex like he is the next great quarterback in line for the hall of fame. He’s got flaw’s as do all of us. I will give it to him that they made it to the superbowl - rock on there.. even won a football pool, made it bittersweet, but I won! I don’t understand the in-accuracy of it all.
Why at the end of the game wouldn’t they allow Griese to come in and throw some passes? We have played quarter back yo-yo’s for many years, remember Quinn… he was like a tree just standing there loosing leaves, and didn’t deliver, how long did we mess around with that?
I don’t claim to know the in’s and out’s of the game or strategy, but heck, what is team effort? It would be nice if someone was behind the ball that when they threw it, you DIDN’t cringe each time it left his hands!
The Catalyst debate continues..some say boot him - some say he’s cute, keep him..
Our own in-house die hard has this to say…
Here are my thoughts…He is like a “deer in headlights” on the field. I am so sick and tired of hearing it is only his second full season, or that “Hey Brett Favre didn’t do well in his first couple of seasons”This guy will never have that “Stud” factor!!!
Another Exhibit House Employee has this to say… BOOOOOT. Him…Now!, a little undertones of Brion James - the cajun trapper in the 1981 Movie Southern Comfort..when he screams at Powers Booth’s character after almost being drowned by another reservist…

All I want to know is when does the charade end ?
I have been calling for Griese for 2 years now. What’s the shame in someone like Grossman sitting on the bench and watching how Griese prepares and handles himself. Griese might not be our long term QB, but he does have alot of experience that could help both Grossman and Orton.
Instead, we toss Rex in there and expect him to learn all that from osmosis or something. Now, he’s a headcase and probably won’t ever recover.
I think the bad decision was made last year and now the right decision is to do what we should have done long ago — Put Griese in.

rex grossman does have one hell of an arm but it means nothing if the team doesn’t get its act together. They should have already been champs.
