Grossman

What are your thoughts on Grossman this year? I'm sure I can assume that words like "apprehensive" enter the equation, but do you think he should even have the starting job?

RE: Grossman

Yes, he should definitely be the starter. The Bears' offense has the potential to be very good to great with him; the potential is less with Griese. I'd say I'm less apprehensive than the average Bears fan, and certainly less than the average member of the Chicago sports media. What are your thoughts?

re: Grossman

I was very patient last year, but I'll feel less patient this year. Definitely agree that he's a better option than Griese, though if I were the GM, I'd not count on Grossman being the guy past this year. I am somewhat apprehensive, although I presume less apprehensive than the Chicago media. I wouldn't know for sure, though, because honestly I haven't paid much attention to those guys during the offseason.

I am glad, though, to see the Bears support him so publicly. Committing to Grossman was definitely the right thing when they did it last year, and they need to let that play out. Sometimes the right decision doesn't work out, and maybe Grossman improves and maybe he doesn't, but I won't hold the choice to go with him against the organization.

I'm much more apprehensive about Benson being the man at RB, for what that's worth.
