Rex Grossman had a differant look in his eye, a maturity that we had not seen behind those eyes before. I just seen these stats in a copy of  Fantasy Football Weekly that I just bought.  Some of Grossmans numbers after he came back from his benching in 2007.

 

3 3/4 games played - 911 yrds, 3 td's and 1 int. Thats about 230 yds a game.

With games of 296 yrds 1 td and 0 ints against the world champion NY Giants, and 266 at Seattle. Granted you would of liked to seen more td passes, however the recievers were not exactly lights out either.  Also I remember a sweet td pass to Olsen in the Denver game that was negated by a holding penalty against Fred Miller. Oh yeah, also with a almost non exsistant running game.  I will look for him to build on this in the upcoming season.

With him playing the defenses that he has to play this year. Hes gonna light it up! Check it out.

Carolina-last year 17th v.s the pass.

Phillidelphia-last year 18th v.s. the pass.

Detroit-last year 31 v.s. the pass.

Atlanta-last year 23 v.s. the pass

Minnesota-last year 32 v.s. the pass

St. Louis-last year 21 v.s. the pass

New Orleans-last year 30 v.s the pass

Houston-last year 25 v.s. the pass

Thats 10 games against 8 teams that were in the bottom half of the league in 2008.  He could potentialy light it up. Don't worry he will! Go Rex! 

Da' Bears!!!

I doubt that most of these teams will be in the same against the pass next year. Houston should be better with Fred Bennett having one more year (even with Dunta Robinson coming off an injury) coupled with the d-line that they're building. Peppers had an off year in Carolina (which I wouldn't count on) and they did improve in the secondary. Philly just acquired Asante Samuel. Minny should be better against the pass with Jared Allen. I think that stats from last year are a bit misleading since last year's stats don't take into account the improvements teams make in the offseason.

....hermmmm, umm - so you think Rex will do what?

Just curious mind you!

I think if Grossman has matured like we all hope except for a few who want him to fail regardless. If he has though I would expect to see great things for us if the O line gives him time and our wr's do decent. An with our RB's I am sure we should be good. An I am sure our defence wants to show others that last year was simply a off year cause of injuries and such.

 

 

Im saying Rex is going to light it up! Yep, Yep. Da' Bears!!!

I can go with that, but lets wait and see how the quarterback competition shakes out.  I'm all for the winner, regardless of who it is.  All I want is stability and consistancy from the quarterback position.  I'm excited about this upcoming year and the start of training camp later today.  BEAR DOWN!!
