November 9, 200817 yr QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) Orton had a few good games, Grossman has done the same. Honestly the only 2 games he was overly impressive in was against horrible secondaries in Detroit/Minny. With Berrian, and a much better offensive line? Please do not compare Orton and Rex anymore. sincerely, a 2008 preseason Rex Grossman supporter.

Our O-Line hasnt been good really since the A-Train's rookie season. Plus Berrian is a nothing WR, Devin Hester is the same WR just a lot of speed. I dont even really want Rex as our starter, just saying I blame our coaching staff and our O-Line more than anything else.
November 9, 200817 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) Yeah, no way Rex deserves to be booed for being a huge disappointment in his career. I was pissed at Rex cuz he was missing open receivers all day. He can't throw to the sidelines for crap and missed a wide open Hester down field.

He can't throw to the sidelines for crap and missed a wide open Hester down field. yeah no doubt about it...the downfield miss to hester was huge...the titans were committed to stopping forte, and the bears kept pounding the ball and you knew at some point with rex they were gonna go play action deep....when they did, rex had time, and hester got open, and rex just over threw him...it was a TD if he makes a better throw....equally as costly were the handful of open receivers rex missed that caused us to go 3 and out costing us big time in the field position game
November 9, 200817 yr QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 03:38 PM) I bet on a new team if given a chance Grossman can be a good QB. When you have a poor O-Line and poor WR's not many QB's are going to be all that good. Through 8 games, Orton has found a way.
November 10, 200817 yr How many times will the refs screw the Chargers this year? P.S. Gus rules Edited November 10, 200817 yr by Brian
November 10, 200817 yr From a Cowboys fan, Berrian was overrated trash. Bears fans should feel lucky they avoided resigning him. I only watched the 4th quarter of the Bears game, but a major problem to me looked like Grossman was told to throw more slants and short passes than not. He excels at throwing bombs. That's why Berrian has his big contract. Regardless, a bigger problem is the Bears secondary which was always overrated is complete trash this year. I think it's worse because Urlacher has sucked big.
November 10, 200817 yr Well, looks like Ben is back to his 2006 40 IQ days. 8 INT's to 1 TD in the last 3 weeks. Sometimes you just have to wonder what is going on inside his head.

November 10, 200817 yr QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) It's hard for the secondary not to suck when the D-line completely disappears except for Alex Brown. Babich seems to get eaten alive on 3rd down everytime. He has no creativity, the pressure never gets there, and veteran QBs tear them apart. The DBs arent absolved of all blame, but the front four doesnt get much pressure, and hasnt for about 4 consecutive games now.
November 10, 200817 yr QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 06:21 PM) Through 8 games, Orton has found a way. Let's see how he does when he isn't playing craptastic, bottom 5 quality pass defenses. I really want to know how an Orton-led offense would've done against the #1 defense in the NFL, and I doubt it would've looked something like 280 yds 3 TDs. I know it's nice to see a QB who doesn't totally suck playing for the Bears but let's be a little objective here. This is in no way, shape, or form an endorsement of Rex Grossman whatsoever.

The DBs arent absolved of all blame, but the front four doesnt get much pressure, and hasnt for about 4 consecutive games now. The secondary has to continuously stay on guys longer than they should have to because the D-line isn't getting there at all. I just think it's really unfair to call them out as the defense's weak link when we don't have Champ Bailey and Antonio Cromartie on the roster. And yeah, Babich has the same lack of creativity Rivera had.
November 10, 200817 yr QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 08:25 AM) Do you think Brandon Marshall and Anquan Boldin will be offended at being labeled freaks of nature? Jusy to clarify so I dont look like a weirdo,I deleted the trouble posts and then I posted for those posters to stop which they did. But to answer your question kyyle their feelings might be hurt so stop calling them freaks.

November 10, 200817 yr QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 05:21 PM) Through 8 games, Orton has found a way. Again no he hasnt. Orton has really only had 2 stellar games and they were against 2 teams with brutal secondaries in Minny/Detroit. Other than that he has been average to below average.

During Rexy's little streak in 2006, the bears had a top 10 line, easy.
