Report: Griese to start Sunday against Lions
Rex Grossman's latest meltdown reportedly will have him standing on the sidelines this week.
The Chicago Tribune, citing an anonymous source, reported on its Web site that backup Brian Griese will replace Grossman as the starting quarterback when the Bears face the Lions.
Chicago returns to practice on Wednesday to prepare for Sunday's game at Detroit.
Grossman threw three interceptions as the Chicago Bears fell to the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Sunday night.
Grossman ranks 23rd in the league with 500 yards, has a 45.2 rating and is 47-of-89 (52.8 percent) with a league-leading six interceptions and just one touchdown.
A Pro Bowl pick with Denver in 2000, Griese has passed for 16,564 yards, but has also been released three times -- by the Broncos, Miami and Tampa Bay.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
good job, Lovie, you're only a year late on this one.
...how will the Lions win now. Dang it.
cowboys just knockin everybody out. took out five giants. i thinks its 5 bears w/grossman. u dont want your team playin the boys. cuz we takin punk motheryouknow what outs
Griese sucks.
...less than Grossman.
He won't do any better.
He won't do any better.
He sure as won't/can't do any worse.
The only thing Griese might do well is refrain from giving his defense short fields all game. He can't make all the throws and will be checking down and throwing 5 yd ins, outs, and hooks all game. Those mofos are in trouble because they have the D but no QB.
Please be good Griese so Cedric can get some openings.
I heard they're thinking of starting AP as well.
Benson may see limited carries.
They should have signed Leftwich.
yup i agree they messed up, not taking leftwich.
Brian Griese is average at best.
Rex Grossman will be a backup on another team next year. By 2009, he will be out of football.
Ha, I was going to post the exact same thing when I saw the thread.
Griese just can't be any worse than Grossman. I saw on ESPN today that Rex has the worst QB rating in the game since that Bears/Cardinals game last year.
It's like switching for garbage.
Soon Bears fans will be calling to put Sexy Rex back in. there is a reason why Griese has never been able to hold a starting job .
average at best will improve that team dramatically.
I agree. Both the Ravens and the Bucs were able to win Super Bowls with quarterbacks of about Griese's caliber and a fierce defense. At this point, Chicago could greatly benefit from someone who can simply manage the offense, and not lose the game for them. Griese will throw for a higher percentage, which will keep both the clock and the chains moving. They don't need him to be All Pro, just give the defense a chance to rest and recharge.
Best new Rex Grossman nickname: Interceptasaurus Rex.
I have to wonder why this didn't happen after he was Indy's 12th man in the Super Bowl. Did the Bears organization really think he would improve? I don't think Griese is the answer for Chicago but he should be able to keep them in games at least. Looked decent in the preseason but granted it was still preseason.
is this confirmed? I could careless except for fantasy.
Greese Ball will be better than Grossman.
No confirmation from the team, but I'd keep my eye on it.
The Bears are going in the tank. Their defense is too beat up and Griese is no better than Grossman.
