Ah screw it. He sucked in the Super Bowl. He had his chance.
Yeah, Grossman missed his chance to be Trent Dilfer.
just like in baseball, how did one conference, or league, get so strong and the other got so weak?
At least in baseball you can blame it on payroll discrepancy. With football I think in a lot of way the AFC has always been better on average. It just didn't look like it because the NFC always had a couple of good team that could dominate in the past like the 49ers and Cowboys that let the NFC win all those superbowls in a row.
With Grossman you could just tell from a long time ago that it wasn't going to work out. I like Lovie as a coach and I respect the fact the staff sticks up for their guy, but one of his only flaws was the fact they took it to the point of hurting the team. Grossman is the type of person if you could give him 12 seconds back there every play he would look great. Of course so would every other quarterback in that situation. With him though the slightest thing goes wrong and you have to potential for blooper reel footage on almost every play like that from him. It was like Madden said in the Sunday night game. With somebody like Romo back there if some lineman or linebacker comes though quickly at least he can move around, not panic, and the play still has a chance. With Grossman in that type of situation you can forget about it. I won't miss the WTF fumbles from him or the "where the hell are you throwing it" plays either.
The Bears don't have a lot of good options at quarterback. This might sound strange but later on in the year if their season looks to be more or less loss I think I would put Orton back in. Grossman is not going to work out now almost no matter what. Greese isn't a long-term answer and is getting old. At least with Orton maybe he can still improve enough to be a decent backup when we draft a new one. Luckily the next draft class looks stronger than normal at the position. Hopefully the Bears can pick up a decent one to develop before their defense starts to go downhill. Then again this is the Bears and when have they ever made a good decision as far as quarterbacks where concerned? I also wonder if they will bring in Leftwitch at some point.
