Should I pick up Rex and ride him to a league title? My backups would be Brees and Warner- maybe drop one.

I'll put it like this, his division suck and he faces each team 2 times. His defense has allowed 7 points on the season, and his O-line is almost unbreakable. Here's a test next week against Minnesota and will he continue his success there?

Grossman is a great backup QB to have, but Warner and Brees aren't too bad either. You could rotate those three based on who they're playing, but you can't ride any of them to a title. I wouldn't drop any of those three once you have them, because they are all firmly entrenched as starters, and someone is going to get both of their QBs hurt and come to you later this season.

He certainly seems worthy of taking the risk. The Bears have such a solid team right now. Receivers actually look pretty respectable, Berrian is impressive and Muhammad is always a threat, and they have a great RB tandem to keep the opposing defenses concerned.
Take the shot! I would attempt to trade either Warner or Brees rather than just dropping either. Perhaps offer a proposal to the owner with Trent Green - and try to pick up a back-up RB or receiver. While the interest isn't sky-high for either Warner or Brees at the moment, I would imagine that you should be able to find something decent in return. Test the waters at least and I hope Grossman pans out for you.

Frankly, i am suprised if Grossman is still on the waiver wire in your league. Do i think you can ride him to a title? No.
Although he has had an amazing start, i dont think he can keep this up for much longer. You have to keep in mind that the first two teams he has faced, are not the greatest defensively by far.
I think you are better off with Brees and Warner.

Well seeing as Seattle played the Lions last week and I don't think they even scored a T.D. and Grossman threw for I believe 4 this week against the Lions, I would say that he may have come into being a really good QB. Only time will tell but as of now he looks really good.

Keep Brees, but be wary of Warner. When Warner is hot, he is unstoppable. But when he is cold, bench his ***. Grossman seems to be on fire with the Chicago defense just dominating every team.

We'll see if Grossman is for when they play a good defense...Packers and Lions...not a very convincing show...but he needs to keep passing to Clark...helps my fantasy team out ;) I have QB issues myself and picked up Pennington for yesterday...boy did that work out great. I thought about Grossman but I can't make the change to take a bears QB...so I took Pennington and Rivers...

I wouldn't drop Brees or Warner for him. Rex will get hurt soon so I wouldn't bother. The 1st two weeks were flukes.

Grossman has done better than expected, but Chicago still hasn't proven their passing offense is for real (don't get me wrong, I love Muhhamad and have him on two of my three teams). I'd be leary. I think Brees will be better (even if he had a sucky week this week).

Grossman has been quite lucky. I think he has definitly been playing over his head. With that Defense, the bears are more likely to rely on their run to eat away at the clock.

Yes, until he gets hurt again.
