f_trizzy Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Originally posted by SkinsD Was very sad to hear this, I feel bad for the Bears faithful (which generally is a nice crowd). Good for us tho in the opener! I know they got Orton but maybe they would like a vet like Brunelll!!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had this cross their mind, we can dream can't we? If I were the Bears and decide not to look for a veteran, why not start Orton? You know you won't go anywhere with Hutchinson so why not give the kid a chance.

JerseyGator Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Both injuries to Grossman appear to have occurred on artificial turf (at Minnesota and St. Louis). He wasn't injured much as a Gator. One smart thing Spurrier did the day he arrived at UF was demand that they remove the artificial turf. They promptly did. I ran on the old hard as a rock artificial turf at the Swamp. I can't imagine doing it more than once or twice per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Originally posted by Synergist That will probably move the point spread from Skins -4.5 to Skins -7 now Rex Grossman is not worth 2.5 points. However, the dropoff to Hutchinson may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfanmike Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I had him as a sleeper on my team. :doh: Good thing I had Culpeper as my starter... Tough injury for Grossman, hope he has a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atloldskin Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Tough news for the Bears, especially with no quality backup. We should now be favored at home by 7+ I would think. Still, they have a good D and a running game if Benson signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamshatterer Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I wonder what old QB they will try to sign. I wouldn't be surprised if we old Vinny T. in a Bears uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Crying shame -- Rex looked real good. Confident, poised, throws a beautiful ball -- I expected big things from him this year. That said, the bears made a HUGE mistake in not signing some quality vet to be his backup. I mean, the same thing happened last year and it killed their season. How do you make the same mistake twice? The good news for them is that there's still a month to go before the season starts -- they could sign someone like Jeff Blake. Apparently they have no interest in resigning Jeff George -- despite the urgings of George's number one fan, Lenny "All You Can Eat means All You Can Eat damnit!" Pasquerelli.

Lead Blocker Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Grossman summed it up best when he said "S- happens sometimes" It’s a shame that the most talented QB to come out of Florida in some time has to deal with so many injuries. I hope he is still given an opportunity to have a decent career, considering how some GM's refuse to wait. Now it time to be insensitive: Considering Benson is not there yet, is it too early to sing "The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck…" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pskins Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 This Sucks. Not that I am a bears fan but I hate to see these kinds of injuries to a player before he even gets to prove himself in the league, eg Jason White of Oklahoma. I hope he gets another chance to prove himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
