Romo Leinart and Manning aren't proven to be better.

McNabb forgot him.

Vick is overrated.

People who think Rex has proven to be bad are dumber than people that say he's proven to be good. He has not proven either. When someone is 15-4 as a starter in his first full season as one usually its more likely they are good.

They also don't have a lot of talent on the O. They need some help at WR and TE.

All the others you posted are somewhat questionable.

We do not know if Rex is good or bad right now. The signs point to good more than bad.

It's not like the Bears have a better option either.

He's also a free agent after 07 so the Bears NEED TO KNOW by the end of next season. They don't right now. Benching Rex will not help that answer.

They know what Griese is. An average at best QB is his ceiling.

We don't know what Rex's ceiling is. And we aren't going to find out by benching him.

I can guarantee you on Kitna and Johnson that their coaches would trade them for Grossman tomorrow.

If like every smart football person thinks he will Grossman continues to develop he will be a sought after free agent after next season and chances are darn good the Lions, Viking and Packers will all go after them.

I'd love to think like Iowafan that all the Bears problems are because of Rex and Griese is the magic answer. I'd love for it to be that simple.

And it's more a reaction to some fans in general than Iowafan in particular and I apologize to him or her.



I think Iowa is just being knee jerk. And having an emotional response to the game.

Vick is overrated.

I couldn't agree more, which is why I'm praying that my Raiders don't trade their #1 for him!

I mean, the guy seems to always be off to the races before he's even set his damn feet or look downfield!

making some broad assumptions about me throughout the night based on a couple of simple statements.

I'm a 53 year old "her" who's been a bears fan since the 60's watching with my dad at Grandma's after Sunday dinner. I had a slight diversion to the Redskins when Geo. Allen left the Rams and the old guys were at WASH. - fun days with Sonny and Billy. Football has been a family passion all my life - mostly with the Iowa Hawkeyes and Hayden Fry.

no where did I blame Rex for the loss (he was just the only name I posted) and I don't believe you could correctly infer that I thought Griese would be the answer although I did mention him. I just said I believed the position should be up for grabs in 2007.

I commend Lovie's fortitude of sticking with Rex through the season. It was the right thing to do.

I don't see at all where I've been emotional tonight, and I wish I knew myself as well as you assume you know me from your remarks. You've directly or indirectly called me stupid, emotional, indulging in knee jerk reactions and lacking football knowledge, all of which would make my friends laugh out loud.

Rex should be proud he has such a supporter, seems like a standup guy.

I'm also a 7 Habits Fan - Habit 5 "Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood" - is a useful habit I try to practice daily.

No offense taken, night night... signing off.
