Gus Grossman here again.  I know I usually put in my two cents every other week or so, but after Sunday's game, I couldn't wait any longer to weigh in on the QB problem in Chicago. 

What can I say?  I am disgusted, embarrassed, ashamed, shocked and disappointed in my brother.  I have run out of excuses for him and I can no longer defend him.  He is a big boy and I am tired of having his back.  In fact, I am so upset with Rex and his play, I am not only clamoring for Brian Griese to play, I am so embarrassed by Rex that I am actually changing my name to Gus Griese.  That is how much I want my new brother in the game, as he is a brother I can be proud of.  So until further notice, it's Gus Griese. 

I want to break down Greise a little bit and analyze him so that I can show all of the idiots who still support Rex why it is obvious that Griese is the man.....Lovie, I hope you are reading this too.

With Rex you get INTs, with Griese, we will get ball control, smart decisions, good throws and our turnovers will be erased.  Of course you cannot go by what Griese has actually done in the past, cause that's in the past.  So forget his career 78 INTs to 88 TDs.  You have to ignore his 7 INTs in 6 games in 2005.  His 15 INTs in 13 games in 2002.  His 6 INTs in 5 games in 2003 and his 12 INTs in 13, because like I said that was the old Brian Griese.  The Bears got the new Brian Griese.  The guy who is an awesome QB who never throws INTs.  Not only that, the Bears really could use Griese's deep playoff experience.  Granted, he has never taken a team to the playoffs, but he played for the Denver Broncos after they won two Super Bowls, so he has played for a team that was great in the playoffs, and that probably rubbed off on him.

Oh, and I know what you are thinking Grossman lovers....How come Griese is on his 4th team in 5 seasons if he is soooo good, and how come Mike Shannahan kicked him to the curb if he is so good?  But that's just the thing.  Griese was too good for Shannahan.  Mike Shannahan prides himself on developing QBs who are bad, so that he can turn them into good QBs and look like a genius.  With Griese, he was already great, and there was nothing Shannahan could do to improve him.  So, the ego maniac that Shannahan is, he ran Griese out of town so that he could try to turn a new bad QB into a good one and restore his reputation.  Miami is a cheap team and they knew if they kept Griese around longer than one year they were going to have to pay him all this money, because he was the best QB in the league, so to avoid having to pay him, they just dumped him.  Pretty classless move on their part.  This brought Brian to Tampa, where he was injured and eventually let go in favor of Chris Simms.  What people don't know is that Simms' Dad paid Gruden to let Griese go because old Phil knew that his boy would never have a chance of being a starter if he was forced to compete with Griese. 

This brings Brian to his current situation with the Bears.  Griese showed in the preseason that if given a chance to play he is truly an MVP caliber player.  Brian dominated San Fran, Arizona, Cleveland and San Diego's second and third string defenses.  What more do you need to see? 

Clearly Lovie doesn't have a clue.  Griese has never been given a fair shake in this league, whether it was because of Shannahan's super ego, Miami's cheapness, or Phil Simms' bribes.....the Bears need to give Griese a chance.  We need his ball control skills and most importantly his playoff and super bowl experience.
