Rex Grossman the whipping boy

[SmootSmack]

I thought going into this season Rex would surprise a lot of doubters. I still think he has the potential to be great. I think, though, that ultimately-more than talent-what separates him from the Peyton Mannings of the world is preparation, or lack thereof.

Manning always talks about being so prepared that he never feels "pressure" Going so far as to practice with soaked footballs to get a feel for it. Grossman doesn't seem to have that characteristic.

That said, he was one of many problems for the Bears on Sunday. Great point by Beems about Ron Turner
