Kind of old isn’t it?

Yesterday on the radio, they said fans were heckling Grossman after every INT he threw in practice, and also on one occasion where he brought the ball down and scrambled for a first down (when they jokingly said things like “Who’s that guy wearing number 8?”)

With the relatively quiet atmosphere, Rex HAD TO HAVE heard the heckling.

There’s no winner to this battle… only losers: The Bears and the fans. Furthermore, neither QB can take risks in practice and try to thread the ball in places, when they know every mistake will “count against them.”

...Orton did what Grossman does in actual games. Alright!

The Monsters of the Midway may have set back offensive football about 50 years in Monday’s practice, but both Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton obviously came to work Tuesday determined to put that nightmarish performance behind them. Grossman ran the first team, and he completed 17 of 20 passes without an interception. His best throw of the day came during goal-line drills, when he orchestrated a beautiful play-action fake and hit Desmond Clark in the back-left corner of the end zone behind Lance Briggs. Orton also threw the ball tremendously well, hitting on 16 of 19 throws and a near-perfect 10 of 11 in 11-on-11 action. He was picked off twice, but he also delivered touchdown strikes to Mark Bradley and Kellen Davis through heavy traffic over the middle during red-zone practice …

Zack Bowman looking good and Dan Bazuin sat out Tuesday. Kreutz was back as well.

It’s obvious Orton doesn’t have what it takes to be a starting QB in the NFL. Rexy’s probably has never been throwing the ball to a spot with authority, it’s his judgement and lack of awareness in the pocket when pressured to check off his primary receiver. Step up more often and he’ll be a decent signal caller.

gotta say, i think we go with him. he has talent and can be exciting…going with orton just seems like we are accepting mediocrity and hoping he is the next trent dilfer.

Like the last 3 years. However, I did think he showed improvement in his return last season before he was injured against Washington. Orton, we know what we’re getting he is the safe choice. I still say wait until preseason before there is a real clear front runner.
