Last year, Orton provided very consistant, limited mistake, slow tempo play for the Bears offense. They relied heavily on the defense and special teams, but it worked and resulted in a lot of wins. I know that Grossman has played some really good games this year and obviously has the ability to play a lot better then Orton. But at the same time, he had some really horrible games where he either lost or almost lost despite the defense and special teams.
So why don't they put in Orton when Grossman is playing bad? Like if Grossman is doing horrible in the first half, play Orton the second half.

I believe the Bears made a big mistake by not making Orton the number 2 QB right off the bat. I'm' afraid they will lose him to a team down the road and he will be pretty successful.
He knows when to take a sack and when to throw the ball away.
He doesn't try to be a hero when the game is on the line.
But ......I didn't come to start no trouble,.........I just came to do the SUPER BOWL SHUFFLE!!

Last season Orton threw 13 Ints and 9 tds. with a QB rating of 59.7 in 15 games. Last season Griese threw 7 Ints and 7 tds. with a QB rating of 79.6 in 6 games. This seaon Grossman threw 20 Ints and 23 tds. with a QB rating of 73.9 in 16 games.
Orton is a born third stringer. If anything Griese should have seen some more playing time when Grossman was really sucking it up.

Because they only lost 3 games-and Rex is the starter. Orton sucks.

I was more surprised that they didn't play Brian Griese since he signed with the Bears in the offseason.

Lovey wanted to stick with his main guy, knowing his defense would carry the load and they would still win lotsa games.
