What's your take on Rex Grossman?

  1. Bench him immediately, Griese needs to get as many games under his belt

    Yesterday's facts:

    1) He played at home
    2) He played against the #31 ranked pass defense (Vikings)
    3) He completed 6-19 for 34 yards with 3 Ints and a QB rating of 1.3 (pronounced one point three)

    His QB rating is now down to 72.0, just above his career mark of 70.9.
    Brian Griese is waiting in the wings. He is a game manager. He would take this team all the way to a championship just as Trent Dilfer did for the Ravens (although Griese is a better QB than Dilfer ever was).

    Grossman: 18 turnovers in the past 7 games (14 Ints, 4 fumbles lost)

    As a Saints fan, I hope Lovie sticks with him. It evens out the playing field in the NFC.

    What say you?

    He's too inconsistent. One week he'll throw for 4 TDs and the next it's 4 INTs. He also doesn't take adversity well. As soon as the media and fans started questioning him after the Arizona game, he's played dreadful football. Bears won't win with him playing this way.

    Well he's consistently bad now. So the inconsistent tag can be removed, just for all the wrong reasons. His QB rating is hovering aroung 51 these past 7 games. That's too long a stretch to want to give him any more time to work things out. That's much worse than what Plummer was doing in Denver.
