Rex seems to have an underdeveloped internal clock and an underdeveloped sixth sense for dangerous things lurking behind him. I'd expect that from a rookie, but not a vet.

Maybe that has something to do with riding the bench from 07-late 2010. Hard to develop an internal play clock that tells you when to get rid of the ball if you never suit up and play.

As far as Grossman goes, nothing he did tonight suprised me. We know what we're getting with him. Sure he could be having a "career rebirth", but I don't believe that. He's still making bad throws resulting in picks and still coughing up the ball when getting sacked. I maintain he is just a one year stopgap.
