Bears have another year of Grossman to look forward to... Here is a list so far of 2007 free agent quarterbacks. http://www.theredzone.org/2007/freeagents/showposition.asp?Position=QB Pretty thin list apart from Garcia... Now Bears fans, tell me that you are excited about another year with Grossman at the helm.
I think there are some very good QB's on that list. Player Type 2006Team Collins, Kerry UFA Titans Garcia, Jeff UFA Eagles Gray, Quinn RFA Jaguars Huard, Damon UFA Chiefs Johnson, Doug UFA Bengals Lemon, Cleo RFA Dolphins Navarre, John RFA Cardinals Rattay, Tim UFA Buccaneers Schaub, Matt RFA Falcons Simms, Chris UFA Buccaneers Sorgi, Jim RFA Colts Tuiasosopo, Marques UFA Raiders Wright, Anthony UFA Bengals Huard played pretty well when Trent Green was injured. A lot of people thought they should have kept playing him. Matt Schaub is probably the best of the bunch. A lot of Falcons fans would love to see them start him and somehow trade Vick. Schaub will command a huge contract, but he would be a great answer for the Bears. He is a restricted free agent though, so there would be comp. Garcia looked terrific for the Eagles. He needs a west coast offense team though. Probably not the best fit for the Bears. Tim Rattay could blossom somewhere.
I really liked Tim Rattay when he was with the 49ers. He was in a great system there. But he was kind of the odd man out with that organization going through all the restructuring. I still think he has great skills. Garcia is good too but there are questions there concerning his bad knees. I would love to get my hands on Kurt Warner. Isn't he available. I thought he only had a one year contract with Arizona.
Why would you want a statue behind an offensive line that couldn't even protect Grossman all the time? You need mobility, not a boat anchor like Warner. Warner is damaged goods.
I disagree. I think the Bears line is in decent shape even though they played like shit in the playoffs. Grossman was not sacked that much this year during the regular season. I do agree they need to draft at least two lineman or possibly grab a few free agents on the line. If they can do that, I would not pass on Warner. Especially as a backup. He is better then Kyle Orton. Although I agree, Warner is not someone you can build on. He has maybe one or two years left tops. He would be the instant gratification trade. I think Rattay has a lot of playing time left and he is mobile.

so you believe that lovie staying with grossman would be absurd??..considering his bad judgements as a QB. The window of opportunity is closing and in 3 years it will be closed shut. Changing the QB might get them the superbowl ring within that timeframe..
If you were the coach would you want your success riding on his arm? At some point the other players begin to get demoralized. You make a good point about the window of opportunity for them.
Grossman has to go, period. The defense needs to believe that their efforts are not going to be wiped out by a bed wetter like Grossman. Take away Hester's efforts if they kick away from him, and then what? You have to purge Grossman to get the hope back. I have seen teams with good defenses finally begin to give up when they believe it is pointless because of a bad QB (think Chargers with Ryan Leaf). A team has to believe they can win the big one, and Grossman ain't the guy, and everyone knows it...even Grossman.
