Do you think that Grossman should be benched and then put in Greessy? Why or why not? I believe Grossman is not performing so they should take him out and give Greesy a try. They should see if he provides better results then Grossmen. They have nothing to lose. If they wait later, then he won't have as much time to practice. I don't think he should be put in play offs at all.

He is averaging 4-6 interceptions a game, which I find totally unacceptable. I think he should be band from playing the the playoffs, until he gets his act together.

I would give Grossman one more chance before i would bench him..after all they play the Rams on MOnday night..and they are winning with ..barley...I would give Griese a shot against Tampa Bay if Grossman has a very low rating again

My brother, I have been struggling with this since the Arizona game on Monday night.
Clearly the defense and special teams have got his back.
But the playoffs scare me! If Grossman would just settle down and take a sack, throw the damn ball away, or run the ball we would be more secure in the future. Thomas Jones, Cedric Benson and Adrian Peterson could hold down the offense alone. Then Sexy Rexy could throw in a few screen passes and some occasional play action to keep the defense on their heels.
I sincerely believe Coach Smith when he says reality is we're 10-2 with Rex as a starter.
I also think we should see what his production amounts to vs. St.Louis, and then, if necessary, make an adjustment with Greise before the playoffs.
Bottom Line: Defense=Awesome, Special Teams=Stellar
Offense=Decent
Bears fan all of my life and elated that home field advantage is ours during the playoffs.
Let's just hope that Lovie's loyalty doesn't cost us!
He's the wisest coach in the NFL(most disagree) so let's trust him and see what happens.
I know that Grossman will (after all is said and done) turn out to be one of the greatest QBs ever to wear the GSH on his sleeve.
But..............I didn't come to start no trouble, I just came to do the Super Bowl Shuffle!
DA BEARS!!

I believe Lovie has got a handle on things in Chi-town.Hes a defensive type coach anyway.It's gonna be funny (to me anyways) when the Lowly Rams beat them on Monday.Really I don't see that happening the Bears Defense will probably shut-out the Lambs,I mean Rams.O'yea back to the question,this is great learning experience for Grossman and he shouldn't be benched. DA Bears are gonna get it done.Defense wins Championships,as long as he keeps his head about him.He needs to make some smarter decisions,throw the Damn ball away instead of throwing it up for grabs

My feeling is that the Bears have created their identity with a really strong defense, and a fair to middling offense. If Grossman is not costing the Bears games, then I see no reason for him to be benched.

Grossman it is his first year starting all year give him a break, he'll be back and one of the best QBs next year.

heres the deal. regardless of how hes playing the team is 10-2 and won their division. if when the season started, you told me that rex would have the season hes having but guarenteed we'd be 10-2 and div champs id say cool play him!!!
its too risky to switch up the teams chemistry at this point. theyre winning...if it aint broke dont fix it.
should he be playing better?? YES!
can he play better? HELL YES!
will the bears make the super bowl? i dont know...not if he doesnt turn it around...
