He played the majority of the game last week against the Detroit Lions and completed 9 of 19 passes for 58 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. His passer rating? 49.9, barely better than his completion percentage.
All this against a Detroit Lions squad that has allowed the following passer ratings this season: 137.0 (Matt Ryan). 117.0 (Aaron Rodgers). 123.3 (J.T. O'Sullivan). 121.4 (Kyle Orton). 82.4 (Gus Frerotte). 124.1 (Matt Schaub). 127.4 (Jason Campbell). These quarterbacks are not exactly a list of Who's Who? in the NFL.
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. Rex Grossman might be one of the worst quarterbacks in the history of the NFL.
If I could speak to Love Smith, this is what I would say:
Do not start Rex Grossman. Start the injured Kyle Orton instead. Start the unproven undrafted Caleb Hanie, who has never taken a snap in the NFL. Quarterback the team yourself. Direct snap every ball to Matt Forte and let him run. Punt the ball backwards and see if Devin Hester can return it.
Just don't let Rex Grossman quarterback your team. If you do, you will not win the division. You will not make the playoffs. You might not even win a game for the rest of the year.
