The Chicago Bears are in love, man.

You just don’t understand how good Rex Grossman is when he’s alone with the Bears. Practices are pure magic. Nothing but 75-yard ropes straight into the hands of double-covered receivers. Sure, most Sundays he looks terrible, but the Bears are just so used to Grossman’s musk that they can’t say goodbye.

Someone needs to explain to the Bears that there are other quarterbacks out there. Sure these other quarterbacks might not be able to unleash the dragon in such a way that shows total disregard of conventional football wisdom. What do I know? I like the 5-yard out.

From the Chicago Tribune:

If Grossman signs with another team willing to pay more than the Bears, it’s unlikely he would have as clear of a path to the starting lineup. Angelo and Smith both made a point to say Grossman would compete with Kyle Orton if he does re-sign but also dropped hints about who would have an edge when they talked about Grossman’s “body of work.”

Seriously, if you were Rex Grossman why would you ever go anywhere else? He can obviously do whatever he wants in Chicago.

Throw your third drive-killing interception of the afternoon? Grab some Gatorade, you’ll need your strength to throw the next one! Complete a game with a negative passer rating? Get the Pro Bowl ballot! Crash his Lamborghini and leave it on the highway? Sorry, that’s a linebacker thing…but damn it if Rex Grossman could have a more spectacular crash.
