Rex Grossman's latest meltdown reportedly will have him standing on the sidelines this week.

 

The Chicago Tribune, citing an anonymous source, reported on its Web site that backup Brian Griese will replace Grossman as the starting quarterback when the Bears face the Lions.

 

Chicago returns to practice on Wednesday to prepare for Sunday's game at Detroit.

 

Grossman threw three interceptions as the Chicago Bears fell to the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Sunday night.

 

Grossman ranks 23rd in the league with 500 yards, has a 45.2 rating and is 47-of-89 (52.8 percent) with a league-leading six interceptions and just one touchdown.

 

A Pro Bowl pick with Denver in 2000, Griese has passed for 16,564 yards, but has also been released three times -- by the Broncos, Miami and Tampa Bay.

I think the hook was pulled too soon. We'll see how Griese does (which probably wont be that much better)

They will be much better with Griese, I think. He played relatively well with the Bucs that last time around.

It's pretty obvious that Rex Grossman is not a starting NFL QB for the next ten years so good for the Bears for looking elsewhere

I think this will be a good move in the end. If nothing else it gives someone else a shot and frankly it will be hard to play worse than Grossman has been playing. That being said, neither of the two are going to be a long term solution for the Bears.

Too soon? A year and a half of garbage isn't enough?

Wow, you know you have a bad QB when you bench them in favor of guy who wasn't good enough to take Jay Fielder's job.

Over/Under on the number of games before everyone is crying for orton? Bears and QBs.. its nuts.

 

 

Come on McNabb, come home next year

Griese is awful.
