Grossman Still Bear's Starter?
Ugh, Stupid ESPN.com article... making me almost cry.
Rex Grossman still had his health when he walked off the field. But he may not have his starting job much longer after his latest meltdown.
Grossman threw three interceptions as the Chicago Bears fell to the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Sunday night, and he did not get a vote of confidence from his coach a day later. Now, the question is: Will he start this week at Detroit?
"Will Rex Grossman start Sunday?" coach Lovie Smith asked on Monday, repeating the question. "Well, our evaluation process is going on right now, and if you come out to practice Wednesday, you'll have a better idea of who will be starting at all positions."
Has Smith made a decision?
"I'm always thinking ahead," he said.
Smith gave his usual answer when asked Sunday night about Grossman -- "Rex Grossman is our quarterback" -- but his tone was different on Monday, fueling speculation Brian Griese might start Sunday against Detroit.
I am getting such a sick feeling in my stomach for Rex...
Although fans booed and chanted for Griese, teammates continued to support Grossman.
"Rex is my guy. Rex is my guy until the end," tight end Desmond Clark said. "He didn't have his greatest game [Sunday], but if you ask me Rex is my guy."
But for how much longer?
"We're talking a lot about Rex, and I guess we should," Smith said. "I would talk about our football team. I made a lot of mistakes yesterday. We all did. That was a team loss. ... You can't give a quarterback all the blame."
That's how I feel about Rex, he's my guy, Chicaco's damn guy, but not bad Rex! Good Rex! Uggggggggh. Come on Rexy, pull it together, please.
