Living and breathing in the Second City
I was one of the first fans on the Rex Grossman bandwagon. And I’m not really sure that I’m ready to get off. If this were any team in any season, I think he would develop into a fine QB. The problem is he’s not on ANY team, he’s on a Bears team that is ready to go to a Superbowl. It’s not just any season, it’s the “window” in which our defense is together, healthy, and ready. The pressure on Grossman is insane … and not really fair. Putting Griese in would satisfy rabid fans and give Rex a chance to catch his breath.
I’m not as worried about Grossman being the right QB as I am Turner being the right offensive coordinator. He doesn’t seem to be adjusting to Grossman the way he did to Orton … and that’s a problem.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
