In the games that he played well, he threw downfield very well. He suffers from some of the common mistakes a lot of young quarterbacks suffer from, inconsistency and poor decision making. He will get better. The Bear fans should be happy that after one full season of play he was able to get the Bears to the Superbowl. With more experience, he may get them over the top. It's not fair to compare Rex Grossman to Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning is a seasoned veteran at the top of his craft. Grossman is an aspiring young whipper snapper, trying not to screw up.

A solid season for being a "rookie". He has some good games and showed leadership a few times. If he continues to progress and cut down on his rookie mistakes, he could be good for them. If he's like Patrick Ramsey and still plays like a rookie in his 4th-year, he needs to find another line of work.
Coach Smith says he's the man next year and I think it's a good move. Their only player in danger of being lost to FA is Briggs, so he'll have the same team around him next year with a few injured players back. If he cuts down even a few mistakes, they'll be in contention for the SB again next year. If after next year, he's not able to lead the team and be consistant, it's time to move on.
