Rex out, Griese in
Poor Rex Grossman, lambasted by the media and Bears fans given false hope by his coach. If it weren’t for the 1 - 2 record we’ve got going I’d be more inclined to feel a bit bad for him. Now granted, in my earlier post I went on about how it’s not always his fault and what not, and I hold to that statement. But let’s be honest, he does have that Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde thing going on far too often now. You can see when he comes off the field with those looks of confusion (sometimes it could be fear/terror) that he’s no Peyton Manning or even a Vince Young.
But from my experience of being a mild Bucs fan (meaning I used to use ‘em a lot while playing Madden online) Brian Griese more then likely isn’t what we need here either. Not saying he’s a bad quarterback, he’s got a great arm to throw bullets and some moderately deep passes.
It’s good that they decided to do this sooner then later when it could really prove to be bad times for us (say 4 - 12). But maybe they could’ve waited a week. The first 3 games we had were probably the hardest in our whole schedule, so even if Griese looks like Superman it’ll be against teams with weak secondary. What QB couldn’t air it out against a Lions secondary who let McNabb run through them like a hot butter knife?
Fact of it is though, Griese’s in and we’ll probably see Rex somewhere next year on someone else’s bench. Good luck to him, and this may sound bad but, you better not turn into super Rex for some other team.
