Re: Rex Grossman the whipping boy

Plus there were a few starting QBs who got replaced who were considerably worse than Rex this season. Jake Plummer, Daunte Culpepper, and Drew Bledsoe come to mind.

So as bad as he was at times, many teams had it a lot worse this season.

The Bears don't have an above average QB on their roster, so it was relatively moot who played the position for them. If they are smart, they will go out and get actual, serious, non-Griese competition for Grossman, but it wouldn't surprise me if Grossman won the job in camp anyway.
You didn't mention one QB who was worse than Grossman. Maybe statistically worse but not worse in the way I meant. Well maybe Frye. I'll give you that one.
