I agree. A lot of the fans on this site simply don't know football. They casually watch the games, and see that we have a 3-1 record, and don't see anything else. To that type of person, going for it, on 4th and 30, in the redzone, with 3minutes left, when you're only up by 4; is only a bad idea if it doesn't work. You can't appeal to them with logical arguments like "Rex is inaccurate", or "Rex, throughout his entire career, has more turnovers than touchdowns, and he appears to be no different now". Their response will simply be "but we're 3 -1. Suppose Rex would have come out in the second half, and NOT thrown his fourth pick of the game, but instead he stops throwing it all together, and our running game kicks in, and our defense makes some great plays, and we squeak out with a win. Those same idiots would still be saying that we are 4-1, keep him in there.

This is the problem with repeating the talking point that we are x-x, and should therfore, not change from a horrible quarterback to a potentially better QB. The record doesn't mean anything. The Bears won 13 or 14 games with Rex under center. What matters is whether or not you are winning games BECAUSE of your Quarterback play, or whether you are winning games IN SPITE of your Quarterback play. The answer with Grossman was clear 2 weeks ago.
