Grossman Breaks Ankle

Submitted by cubsnet on Fri, 2005-08-12 21:04.

File this under you've got to be kidding me: "Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman broke his left ankle early in the second quarter of Friday night's preseason game against the St. Louis Rams and will be sidelined three to four months," reports the AP.

Does this mean Chad Hutchinson takes over? Does this mean the season is lost before it began?

Grossman

No, this gets filed under "terrible news". Thomas Jones's reaction goes in the "you've got to be kidding me" file:

"Chad Hutchinson is a great quarterback. He proved himself last year and we have some other young quarterbacks who are good, too."

That wouldn't even be funny if it were the Vikings.

Hutchinson's 73.6 QB rating,

Submitted by cubsnet on Fri, 2005-08-12 23:07.

Hutchinson's 73.6 QB rating, if he had enough attempts to qualify, would have been 30th out of 34 quarterbacks in the NFL last year. The word "great" has lost all meaning.

Bears Sign Blake

Never fear, Jeff Blake is here. We know what we're getting with Blake and Hutchinson, right? Not a playoff appearance. How about handing the offense over to Kyle Orton?
