Well, it looks like Lovie Smith will finally put Rex Grossman, his fantasy owners, and Bears fans out of their collective misery . It was only twelve months ago when Rex was being mentioned as a possible MVP candidate. Now Kyle Orton looks like a better option. It all started going wrong on that Monday night game against Arizona, starting a 17-game stretch where Rexy threw 18 touchdowns, 27 interceptions, and six lost fumbles. I don't expect Brian Griese to be a fantasy savior in Chicago, although he will post good stats this week against the Lions. Griese's upside is somewhere around Chad Pennington. The only player truly hurt by the change is Bernard Berrian. Rex could throw the deep ball well and Berrian knows how to catch up with any pass. Griese is a dink-and-dunker, which means less vertical throws and more safe passes to Muhsin Muhammad and the tight ends.
