Griese is like many other mediocre QB's in the league. He is capable when he is "on", but not capable of stringing multiple "on" games together. Rex is the same, thus the reason Lovie won't rush to make the change.

Orton = Griese = Rex

They are all the same guy.

I'd rather take Griese than Grossman right now. Griese played very well last year when given the chance. I don't think he's a star quarterback by any stretch, and he's obviously not a longterm cure for the problems the Bears are having, but really -- anything is better than Grossman right now. We saw this all last year, that when Grossman gets like this, he just goes off the deep end. The second you think he's as bad as he can get, he turns into a big headcase and gets even worse, ie team getting pummeled last night and him throwing prayers into triple coverage. Griese may not be more talented, but he's a hell of a lot smarter than Grossman is when he's making decisions.

When I'm talking about making a change, I wish they would make a real change, like I dunno, actually getting us a real quarterback. They aren't going back to the Super Bowl or anywhere close when they've got an offense only capable of scoring in the ballpark of 14 points per game. Their defense will win them some with those numbers, but not enough to matter.

Orton actually has the most potential. Has a cannon for an arm and is like 6'5. I would play him over Griese, people forget that he helped win 10 games because he wasn't stupid with the ball.

They should have kept Jones, made him the QB, cut Rex and played the option like Army and Navy...

That is like saying my maiden 15 has more potential than my 8 claimer...

Things could be worse, Tom...

You could be a Saints fan like me. Talk about a tough season so far... phew.

The news here had Lovie floating around the idea, vaguely. After the game Sunday night he said Rex was our guy, but in a conference today I think, they had a clip of him saying they were evaluating it this week and would have a clearer picture by end of practice Wednesday.

I hope it's true. At least one week of seeing what would happen would be nice at this point.

THIS is KEY...Rex is stupid with the ball, and doesn't appear to have the arm strength needed to split the defenders to get the ball to rec'r!

.....and Griese is weaker, but less turnover happy.

...at this point, that is the positive!
