Comments on: Welcome to Rick Mirer’s Career, Rex Grossman http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-opinions/welcome-to-rick-mirers-career-rex-grossman/ Chicago Bears Blog Fri, 17 May 2013 02:47:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: jdm http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-opinions/welcome-to-rick-mirers-career-rex-grossman/#comment-14497 jdm Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:02:09 +0000 http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-opinions/welcome-to-rick-mirers-career-rex-grossman/#comment-14497 If first round busts like David Carr, Byron Letwich, and Joey Harrington, along with many other vet castoffs that still have jobs, Grossman will have a backup job somewhere. Grossman is what he is at this point in his career, a QB with a limited skill set. He can do some nice things for you at times, but he's not good enough to start. It is what is, and we just have to move on. I do have one question. Say, for example, the backup QB on the Bears was one of those other busts/castoffs I described above. Would we be this emotionally attached? I doubt it. I realize we aren't used to having a legit NFL QB starting for the Bears, but this is how the NFL is. When your backup plays, you take a hit. Dallas and Seattle are prime examples. Hopefuly, Orton will be ready on Sunday. I still think they can beat GB with Grossmn starting, but I like our chances better with Orton.

Does anyone remember when Mirer did that? Maybe Rex ought to take some lessons on how to eat hotdogs on the sidelines like Rick Mirer. Does anyone remember when Mirer did that?
