So with Grossman you have a choice: You can believe in the Bear organization and about 95% of the scouts and former players who analyze him on the coach’s tape and like what he can do, or the fans, many of them in sales and construction, who watch him on TV and complain. There won’t be a harder matchup or situation for him than this one for the rest of the 2007 season. There may not be a harder one for him in 2008, either.

On the other hand, you can ask yourself, who else is there? Griese? The Dolphins cut him loose in favor of Jay Fiedler and he couldn't beat out Chris Simms in Tampa. Neither of those guys is very good. No doubt the scouts and coaches think he's the best QB they have but that's not saying much. They should look good next week. We'll see how Rex looks when they play GB, Detroit and Philly on the road over four weeks. Rex won't kill you against half the teams the Bears play but he's not going to make plays against good teams. He's not good enough to do so.
