But he looked really comfortable throwing those ill-advised passes. Body language, dude.

Yeah on his Fred Davis touchdown throw, if their corner had come back a little earlier that very easily could've been a pick six. He made some plays, but he also had some throws that left me scratching my head. Overall throw his good plays were way better than his bad ones and that's what people are going to remember. I just hope if he has to play this season that he doesn't try to make a play and end up getting burned bigtime.

But that's what you get from Grossman. Risky passes that could lead to 6 either way. Not saying Grossman is one of the best QBs...but that's what you get from some of the best QBs. How many fewer TDs do you think Favre would have if he was afraid to risk a few INTs every now and then?

Any backup can come in and throw INTs...why not have one who can possibly light up a defense too? Risk and reward.

Since he's NOT the starter, I'm OK with him being a bit dangerous, because he can carry us too if he's having a good day. He's the backup, so why not have a backup who can score instead of just "manage" the game to a couple of FGs.

No other team can say they have 2 Super Bowl starting QBs on their roster.
