Let the least exciting quarterback battle in history begin
Rex Grossman? Or Kyle Orton?
Even by my own normal apathetic standards, this is a new low. And what’s worse, I can’t even get angry about it, either. It’s just a dark void where an opinion should be. It’s just … bad.
INDIANAPOLIS—Rex Grossman is coming back to the Bears.
The quarterback agreed to terms on a one-year contract Saturday morning, meaning he and Kyle Orton will battle to be the starting quarterback.
The Sun-Times reported Saturday morning that a deal was imminent. The contract includes incentives based on play time and performance.
Before I go back to never thinking about Rex Grossman’s contract for the next six months, I will say this: When someone as traditionally cocky as Rex Grossman realizes he has to take a one-year deal in a bad offense just to compete for a job with Kyle Orton, it means even he knows he has played horribly. At least he gets it.

Absurd. I’ll admit as little as a 6 months ago I was one of the Rex backers, but why not let him walk? Why not open a roster spot at QB just so they can take a chance on one in the mid rounds. What were they saying in their personel meetings at Halas Hall? “No way we find someone who has Rex’s ability to not sense any pocket pressure and throw it up into coverage like a 5th grader playing ‘500′ at recess.” I also think my sister is taller than he is. I’m surprised he can see over Olin Kruetz’s ass in the huddle. And, as the bears offense is still stuck in the Red Grange era, they don’t run the shotgun (Which reminds me of my dad saying he doesnt like to watch the suns play basketball because they don’t play defense). Why not take a chance on…….anyone!
P.S. - Tell me Lovie, with his new facial hair, doesn’t look exactly like the famous Cal-Berkely Sociologist and long time sportscentury guest Harry Edwards.
