You have to love Rex Grossman!

I’m a strong believer the Chicago Bears coaching staff along with all Rex Grossman bashers deserve a nice kick in the mouth. I’ve been a supporter of Rex Grossman since his days at Florida University and it was nice to see Grossman bounce back and possibly regain his starting job. Just to recap Grossman was inserted into the game for an injured Brian Griese who was leveled on a linebacker blitz that should’ve been picked up by Cedric Benson. Yes, Grossman did fumble his first snap from center but so did Griese on the first play of the game. After the Bears conservative play calling Grossman, finally got his chance when he hooked up with Bernard Berrian for a 59-yd touchdown with 4:19 remaining in the game. It was obvious Grossman was relived to finally deliver in the clutch which most people figured he was incapable of doing. This was a big win not only for the Chicago Bears who kept their playoff hopes alive but more for Rex Grossman. Since the middle of last season fans have been calling for the Bears to make a quarterback change and allow Brian Griese to start. That proved to be a mistake as Griese proved to be no better as a starter than Rex Grossman. How could a city turn on a player like Rex Grossman after three games?

I’m going to make this quite clear REX GROSSMAN is the best quarterback in Chicago. I totally understand Grossman make some bad passes and at times he seems clueless on the field. This is a man who took Chicago to the superbowl last season and they pulled the plug on him after three games. It wasn’t until the Bears made the switch to Brian Griese that the Bears realized Grossman wasn’t to blame. Maybe fans should blame an offensive line that can’t protect against the blitz or open up holds for Cedric Benson. The Bears offensive line is terrible and the offensive coordinator is even worse. Offensive Coordinator Ron Turner has no creative imagination and he constantly calls plays that are so predictable. When was the last time a Bears receiver was motioned before the snap? How about allowing Devin Hester to run a pass route and tank these stupid screens and hitch routes. Grossman is a better quarterback because the Chicago Bears don’t have a running game. If a team doesn’t have a running game you need a quarterback who will throw the ball downfield. Yes, Grossman makes mistakes but he also give his receivers a chance to make a play down field. Teams were stacking against the run and sitting on Griese’s short passes.


GROSSMAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
