    Rex Grossman is being benched

    Does this come as a suprise to anyone?? Last years SB starting QB hits the pine because he couldn't perform in the first 3 games. Why wait if you can't get it done even if your team gets to the SB is they way they looked at it. HAs JP got it done for the Bills.

    I consider this a little more of a drastic move than Edwards starting now and hopefully in the future for the Bills, what do you guys think??

    "Wrecks" Grossman shoulda been benched LAST year. I know Griese is inconsistent as well but as he's not as bad as Grossman.

      Rex is horrible. I have no idea how he made it through last season. You would think after how many games he cost the team including the SB that he wouldn't even have a job.

        I think it would be a bigger deal if Grossman was the reason the Bears went to the SB.. J.P. or Trent, or Nall, whoever the starting QB is for the Bills ill support them..

              It's about time Lovie woke up and realized the guy SUCKS.
              Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                If you combine Grossman's first eight games from last year with JP's last eights from last season you would have a real good QB.

                Any other games from either of the two and you have dog poop.

                  GOOD! hes much worse than our qb.. and by everyone's logic he's played longer than JP has, whether hes been hurt or not. hes been in the league for 5 years which automatically means hes played 5 years. sound familiar? btw he is terrible and it's a great choice for Lovey to keep his job by not sticking with this clown like originally thought.. go back to orton. he didnt get yards but he didnt turn colorblind the second his team was down some points.

                    I'm pretty sure Orton started the majority of the season like two years ago and he kinda sucked. The defense did just enough to win games and Rex came back late in the season and they lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs I think. After that it was Rex's team. Huge mistake. Peyton and the Colts thank the Bears for that decision.

                      ? he played 2 years? or 1? i forget but when Wrecks was hurt Orton played at least the entire 2005 season. i cant remember if he was drafted that year or the year before and played when he was hurt prior again but either way he didnt spark the offense whatsoever. i remember the last game of their first playoff-bound season Rex came back from his injury and lit it up and sparked the whole team. what the hell happened after that? maybe Orton has progressed. id give him more of a chance than Griese. At least hes started for that team a lot.

                        Actually, I believe JP has more career starts that Grossman.

                          Some will advocate trading Edwards for him some we have a QB that sucks more than JP during begiining of year.

                            the thing with orton is though, i believe he was a rookie (and not a high profile one at that), so how much could you really expect out of him?

                            added to that, the bears babied the hell out of him in regards to play calling. orton didn't move the chains very well, but it's not like they really let him loose to try.

                            all that matters is orton won 10 games, which is more than they can say about grossman.

                            also i read an artice in the off season about how orton had bulked up and worked on his mechanics, but he lost the competition to griese for backup.

                            i would have taken orton.

                              3 years is pretty much the bench mark, after that its put up or shut up. Their careers arent over, but most likely after 4-5 years, its bench time for a while.

                              Grossman only lasted this long because, like JP, he had a hot streak. The problem is, it was a hot streak. The norm for these guys is playing bad.
