QB Grossman Resigns with Bears, 1 Year Deal

So here we are, last stop on the Grossman express. Probably his last chance to be an NFL QB. Should he have maybe tried to get out of Chicago? To a situation with better WRs? Better O-Line? Franchise RB? Debatable. It would come with a new system too. Looking at it on it's own, it's probably difficult to see the merits of this deal. The Bears lock themselves into what is (probably) another losing season and waste another year of a championship calibre defense. Although Grossman was the Bears' QB when they made it to the Superbowl, he wasn't exactly stellar. I remember at least two very key fumbles, several interceptions, only one TD pass (to Muhsin Muhammad), and a particularly memorable play where the man ran away from Dwight Freeney only to get sacked FURTHER behind the line. Nice. At the same time, there's something to be said for the fact that the only good QBs this year are available in a trade (and not Free Agency) and it's going to be very difficult to find an immediate starter at pick #15. The proof is in the pudding though, and this pudding won't be ready for another year.

I've always wanted to say that. Thank you for being here.
