The Chicago Bears signed Rex Grossman to a one-year deal. He will compete for the starting QB job next season. Given the reality of pro-football, this was the right choice for the Bears to make. They get a player who they know, and this is a big if, if he improves, The Bears will have a good chance to be a wild-card contender. The Bears need to improve at multiple-positions, and by signing Grossman, they have a chance at improving.
You can look at what he's done, like throw 31 TD passes and 33 interceptions. That's a lot of int's...and that needs to be cut down. But they Bears need a player who can throw the ball and Grossman has a good arm. The Bears miss Thomas Jones, the veteran running back who went to the Jets. The Bears had a reliable ground game with him ---and they need to find a running back. Well, finding a good running back is easier than it is a good QB.
Rex is young, he's only been in the league 3 or 4 years. This is the time for him to show some maturity, and progression in what he has learned. Cut down on your mistakes, and hit your receivers. If he does that, The Bears may have a better year than last season.
