Yep, looks like a lot of people will be getting their wish. Will be fun listening to the experts find new targets to blame this year.

This is the worst Oline in the league. Should be a nice 4-5 win season.

Huh? So it's his fault that the moment he snapped the ball there were 3 guys on him?

It's fine to be blantantly anti Grossman, but at least be somewhat logical.

Dude was under hell fire last night and hung in there pretty well. The guys calling the game even mentioned it several times. But if you'd like to blame him go right ahead.

Someone also might wanna tell Turner that when they're blitzing him endlessly, not to keep calling 7 step drops with every route going 20 yards down the field.

I completly agree but Rex is also a part of the problem.

His mechanics HAVE AND WILL ALWAYS suck. He never steps up and QB's going backwards. Granted, not alot of room to move up but if there was, he wouldn't do it because I've never seen him do it anyway.

He just looks lost back there at times. I wanted him to do well but it looks like his run is done.

It is a big blame on the OLine but we already know that Rex will fold with that OLine so why even bother.

It's the logical thing to start the QB with more years on his contract. Might as well give him a shot for a full season.

Logical? It can't get anymore logical than that. D coordinators know if you blitz Rex, he's toast. Don't take my word for it, take Chico's word.

Plus, he brought all this on himself. Mr. happy feet when getting blitzed, is a guaranteed failure.

[Jistic]

If you don't block for any QB, they're toast. What does Chico have to do with anything? Dude can't even get himself a coordinator's position.

Orton is the starter. I think that was a good decision.

[Jistic]

Won't matter. This is gonna be one of the worst years in team history.

I don't see a possible win til week 5 and 6. This year is gonna have us longing for the Wanny years. I think the Defense will hang in there in most games, but tire out when they see the offense average 10 points a game.

Gonna be a long ugly year. I wonder if we can break our own record last year of giving up the most sacks in the league and averaging 3.1 per carry?

It's gonna get UGLY.

I hope not Jistic, I think we have gone through a lot of bad football in our time. I agree with you that the Defense just like last year won't be able to hang game after game to save the Offense. I prefer Orton over Grossman, and hopefully all 3 QB's make it a situation for competition at the position.

Caleb Hanie could be the question mark for this team as a up and coming QB if given the chance. Game 1 vs. the Chiefs, I think he did an alright job.
