I have been reading this website for about a year now and this is my first attempt at a post.  Let me first say that I am actually a Rex Grossman supporter.  I do not think he is fully developed yet and to say he is a failure at this point isn't fair.  This is a breakdown I have created of all of Rex Grossman's games starting since 2006.

  Rex Grossman stats in 2006.  He only started five games before this season, two in 2005 before he was injured and put on IR and three in 2004 before he was injured.    As you can see above, all the bolded games are ones he played very well in, and the underlined ones he played especially well.  The ratio of good games to bad games is 10 to 6.  The Green Bay game in the last week of the season was completely meaningless and Grossman admitted to not preparing at all for the game as he thought he was not going to play more then the first series and instead they left him in until half time.  If you don't count that game, he had three really bad games that counted during 2006.  Two of them being very high profile so everyone saw them (the Patriots and Monday night against the Cardinals) and one of them against the Miami Dolphins.  The Vikings game where he had a 0 rating was a game that had terrible weather that made it very difficult to throw the ball.  The Vikings quarterback in that game also had a terrible time throwing the football.

  Rex Grossman stats in 2006 playoffs, including the one game he started against Carolina in 2005 and the Super Bowl.  The interception recorded against Seattle bounced off Mushin Muhammads hands in the end zone and fell into a cornerbacks lap.  Even in the Super Bowl, he completed 20-28 passes but comitted two costly turnovers.  Inconsistent?  Yes.  Bad?  No.  His ratio of good games to bad games was 2 to 2

  Rex Grossman's stats in 2007.  He started off bad in his first three games and was benched, but when he was brought back in he did very well.  Against the Giants he threw for almost 300 yards and one touchdown, and Devin Hester dropped a 70 yard throw that would have brought Grossmans stats to well over 300 yards throwing and two touchdowns for the game, as well as most likely bringing a victory to the Bears.  These Giants were the same team that beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl by shutting down Tom Brady.  His ratio of good games to bad games was 4 to 3 in 2007.  I did not include the game against the Redskins when he was injured in the first half.    All in all, he has had 16 good games and 11 bad games since the beginning of 2006.  These stats do not include fumbles, which have been a huge problem of his and a major flaw.  He has had 18 fumbles in his career which is very bad.  Holding on to the football and pocket presense are both things though that can be learned from experience.  There was a time when Tiki Barber was last in the league in fumbles.  He worked on it and became one of the best.  Does Rex Grossman have that kind of drive?  I am not sure at this point.  But does he deserve a chance to work on it?  I think so. Does this make him a good quarterback?  No.  Does this make him a bad quarterback?  No.  Does it make him inconsistent?  Yes.  But hasn't there been enough good in here to give him a fair shot?  In my opinion, yes.  I know that most of the view on Rex Grossman is negative and he deserves some of it.  But I think that he has shown enough good that if we were to stick with him he could really develop to become something great.  If you look at the statistics of some of the better quarterbacks in the league today they look very similar to Rex Grossman's first 32 starts in this league, which is actually not too far off how many starts Vince Young has had.
