Cheesefood said:The Bears biggest failure was the D. They allowed too many runs. I couldn't believe how slow and tired the D looked.

Hey, props on a great season! Now the question - who's the QB next year? Grossman seemed to finally play himself out of a job, as soon as he let fly that first interception, you knew it was being picked off. The fumbled snap, wet ball or no - you can't do that. Aigh.
I hope he keeps his job for the Packers' sakes. He's terrible. the Bears had their Super Bowl year in spite of him.Cheesefood said:Grossman needs to stay QB. We know he can be REALLY good, they just need to work on consistency. Very few QB's have great rookie years, and even less make it to the Superbowl in their first full year.

Trivia Q: Which QB did the Bears draft the same year that Peyton Manning was drafted?
I really don't think the rain or being a rookie had anything to do with his piss poor play. Here is the draft analysis by ESPN:Fourth Quarter
Chicago Bears at 13:38
1-10-CHI38 (11:59) R.Grossman pass deep right intended for M.Muhammad INTERCEPTED by K.Hayden at IND 44. K.Hayden for 56 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Play Challenged by CHI. CHI maintains that it did not draft R.Grossman in the 2003 draft but instead drafted Seneca Wallace, Iowa St. Upheld. (Timeout #2 by CHI at 11:44.)
Notes: Comes from an affluent family. Has a reputation for not making the greatest decisions off the field.
Positives: Has a quick release and an over-the-top delivery. Has handled pressure situations well in the past. Has a good -- not great -- arm and throws an extremely catchable ball, especially deep. His mechanics -- especially setup and compact release -- are assets. Seems to be aware in the pocket and buys time with his feet. Has football intelligence and the toughness of a pit bull. Also has good mental toughness. Likes to lift with the linemen. Teammates love his self-confidence and bring-it-on attitude. Can get the ball into tight spots because of his intermediate arm strength. Has a burning desire to win.
Negatives: Can be lazy and rubs people the wrong way at times because of his confidence. Likes to party. Got by on natural talent at Florida. When things didn't go well in '02, Grossman was out of sync a lot and made too many off-balance throws. Can escape pressure but is not a threat to tuck and run. Has average overall mechanics. Accuracy down the field is limited, as it is when he throws on the move. Will need to be schooled on what the "football classroom" means. Struggles in new offense weren't entirely related to fresh scheme and changes in his surroundings, but teams will critique his ineffectiveness without Steve Spurrier and the wealth of talent that left for the NFL in 2002. Didn't display great accuracy at his Scouting Combine workout.
