Rex Grossman is our quarterback...He deserves another chance, he led a team to the super bowl for crisssakes! In like 22 career starts he was already in the super bowl only quarterback I know to do that quicker is Tom Brady. He had two 300 yard passing games last season with Moss and Armstrong the only reliable targets as Cooley was dropping passes in the Jags game. Rex Grossman makes people around him better look at his career record. Gunslinging Grossman!

Grossman didnt lead anything.
That was all defense.

We protect Rex and continue progressing with the running game and Grossman will put up attractive numbers....All this Vince Young Kyle Orton talk is a pure waste of time, Grossman is better than both them clowns... Put some playmakers around Rex and he'll maximize the talent around him with his anticipation. We should have tried to get Jake Locker imo, but I've liked Grossman since he came out of college and he deserves a chance to lead this team.

All defense? Grossman led a game winning drive against the former NFC Champion Seahawks in the playoffs, and just look at Bernard Berrian's numbers when he played with Rex throwing him the football, way better. The defense allowed 200 yards rushing to the COLTS, the whole team played bad in that game, and again, Grossman did lead the Bears to the super bowl.

I know. I answered the question with a question.

Yes, he's still part of the plans but not the first priority right now

However, if you want to keep up the same practices of pissing away our future draft picks for the next sure thing to "win now", then I suggest we pull that trigger. Vinny Cerrato surely would have.

Now, I understand exactly why this franchise was wrecked for over a decade. Our owner is exactly like our fans.

Horseshit, Orton is way younger and we wouldn't have to give up as much. If colb goes to arizona, we may be able to get Orton for next to nothing. I'm not saying give up our whole draft, but we should atleast be exploring the opportunity.

Since he's younger, we'd probably have to give up more

Anyhow, it's basically a moot point. Orton looks like he's headed to Miami for a couple of high draft picks, or one and a player

A couple of high picks for Orton? I was hoping that we would get him but not for that price.

skinsfaninok · 07-27-2011, 10:49 PM

apparently Orton was the number 1 QB available

Seriously. We are another two years of being 6-10 in my opinion. We have very few long term pieces in place on either side of the ball.

MTK · 07-28-2011, 10:01 AM

We're not going 6-10 for another 2 years. I think the D will be vastly improved this year and we'll be more consistent on offense.

6-10---8-8
