Let's be fair to Rex Grossman

Rex Grossman was horrible on Monday night, coughing up two fumbles and threw an interception. Fans, and not just Bears fans mind you, along with alleged sports pundits are piling on the guy to suggest a quarterback change. But nobody would ever consider making a change at quarterback if Rex's last name was Manning.

As bad as Rex was on Monday night, Eli Messiah played a very similar game on Sunday, as he lost two fumbles against Raven. Grossman and Messiah both completed a high-percentage of passes, Eli tossed a touchdown, while Rex ran one in. But nobody (other than THN) is advocating a quarterback change in New York.

And Rex has played in the Super Bowl.


Not really a fan of either quarterback, but if you are going to give the Messiah a chance, then Rex really needs to be afforded the same opportunity.
