Chicago Bears QB Situation...

Let s touch on the Chicago Bears for a moment. Now of all my friends and family I may be the only person that does not HATE Rex Grossman. Every conversation I have about the Bears starts or inevitably has a person saying "They need a new QB." I have to disagree and stick up for Rex. Yes I have seen Rex make mistakes this past season and the Super Bowl season as will. But is he the only Bear that is making mistakes throughout the season?

How many times was the pass from Rex right on the numbers and the receiver (caugh caugh Berrian, Muhsin) drop the ball? Can you place that blame on Rex? Not to mention the simple fact that if you have an offensive line that does not offer anything more than 2 - 3 seconds of protection the Qb is going to look bad. You can rarely blame a sack on a QB and that's just being real. I could understand if the QB is having difficulties in making a decision and taking a long time in the pocket... but Rex barely has time to get the ball and take a peek at any options.



Now of course Benson is no longer a Bear but when he was the kid was terrible. He averaged 3.4 yards per carry and only produced 4 TDs all season. This yet again points back to the offensive line. If they offer no protection then you get no production. Benson's confidence was way down all season, until the day he brought out for 1 long carry against the SeaHawks which was the only time I saw a spark in his eye!

So to bottom line this for you... the Bears don't need everyone worrying about their QB situation, what a REAL Bears fan should recognize and voice their concerns about is out Offensive line and now our lack of a every down running back, not that Benson was ever that for us to begin with. So for the up-coming season lets focus on the positives and see if the Bears have made the right adjustments to give Grossman or Orton an opportunity to shine.
