NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Rex Grossman hugs the ball for safety
How does he do it?
Is he a magician?
Rex Grossman continues to be the quarterback for the Chicago Bears. He continues to underperform. How does he survive this situation?
He won’t go away. Drop a nuke on Grossman and he arises from the radioactive rubble, ready to throw an interception. He laughs at the Andromeda Strain. He spits on your mocking of him. Cockroaches say the only thing that will outlive them is Grossman. No, he won’t go away. He just won’t freaking go away.
It’s one of the greater mysteries in football over the past few years. Why hasn’t Grossman become an ex-Bear? For that matter, how is Sexy Rexy still in this league?
Many of us have thought that Rex Grossman would grow into the job. He has not. Even your intrepid author saw Rex take the Bears to the Super Bowl, so he must be somewhat good? But he has not improved.
Since the late 1990s the Bears have started Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Chris Chandler, Henry Burris, Kordell Stewart, Chad Hutchinson, Jonathan Quinn (yes the Jonathan Quinn), Craig Krenzel (no relation to Kris Kringle), Orton, Grossman and Brian Griese. That’s not exactly a sparking quarterback roll call.
The Bears, in all probability, will be forced to change their approach to the position after this year.
Will Rex Grossman get the last laugh?
