Rex Grossman the whipping boy

I must disagree. Two fumbles on good snaps in one game is inexcusable for ANY quarterback.

I agree that the Bears were getting dominated on defense, but I didn't see three good quarters from Rex. He had about 30 passing yards at the half and, as noted above, he fumbled twice and threw two picks on bad, bad, bad passes. It's not that Rex was the sole reason for the Bear's loss, but he was definately a big factor.

These fumbles certainly were a major factor in the outcome of the game.

However, I don't believe Grossman has a fumbling problem (I could be wrong, I only saw about half of Chicago's games), and these very well could have been two isolated incidents due to the conditions.
