Grossman sucks, and Bears have to live with it

The man with the pop gun arm, the frenetic QB, Train Rex.

These are the choices that are staring Smith in the face. He can continue to coddle Kid Suckiness and hope Grossman spends the summer in a film room and learns about patience and how to matriculate an offense down the field.

Or Smith can open up the competition in July training camp and have Grossman and Brian Griese fight for the job. But how much better is Griese? Grossman or Griese, Griese or Grossman. They are not so different. It's Grieseman.

The final option is the best one. Smith can make Grossman the backup, work on him, mold him, and meanwhile bring in a veteran player like Jeff Garcia and try to get two years out him. Garcia would be an improvement over Kid Suckiness the way Oahu is over the South Bronx.

The second half of the game typified Grossman. Manning was not spectacular but he managed the game. Grossman wrecked it. After Manning led the Colts to a pair of field goals, Grossman tossed an interception for a touchdown. The game was still winnable when Grossman soon threw a deep interception.

When Smith would get snippy this season and during Super Bowl week over Grossman questions, I didn't blame Smith. I backed him. I backed Grossman even when he talked of media ignorance about the quarterback position. That is the word he used: ignorance. I bought into the Bears' standard line that if Grossman was in the Super Bowl, just how much could he really stink?

It turns out that was all propaganda. We were bamboozled by Smith and Grossman. They played a great shell game as K.S. was exposed in all of his suckiness glory.

When discussing Grossman it comes down to this.

How much can you trust Kid Suckiness?
