I largely agree with you... but the good news for Grossman owners, he'll play both GB and Det again.

Will one bad week change that though?I'd think so. A QB rating of 150+ will usually keep your job.J
It shouldn't. This is the same Lions defense that shut down Hass and the Seahawks in their home opener last weekend.Will one bad week change that though?I'd think so. A QB rating of 150+ will usually keep your job.
I didn't watch the game, but did Detroit actually "shut down" the Seahawks last week, or did the Seahawks just underperform? ...If I were to wager a guess, I'd think that it's something like 60%-Seahawks didn't click, and 40%-Detroit's defense.That said, Chicago's schedule looks nice this year and if Grossman can keep this up he could definitlely beaan every week starter. Something I never would've guessed before the season, but looking at the situation it kind of makes sense and adds up. Solid line, strong running game, decent wrs, cake schedule, finally healthy, good coaching, etc...It shouldn't.

In the very least you should cut Rivers.But if it's a league where QBs are remotely valuable (12+ teams), then you'll spend the rest of the year kicking yourself if you don't at least grab him.
Post your roster. And how many of each position do you start?
Cut Smith.12 teamer, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex, 1 K 1 DP Rivers
C Pennington
D Culpepper
M Barber
J Norwood
W Parker
T Bell
F Taylor
S Smith
D Driver
M Colston
T Holt
T Williamson
H Miller
J Kasay
D Falcons
Seriously, with that lineup I'd cut Rivers for Grossman. Or work a 2-for-1 trade so you can have an extra roster spot. I might consider cutting M. Barber but that would depend on what J. Jones did this week.I thought he sucked Joe? That's what you were preaching to Jurb and I in one of the game threads during the pre-season. No one has faith he'lll stay healthy, but do you still think he "sucks"? Just want to know what Mr. QB guru thinks.

Hi jurb,No, not after this. Not one week. After a great week like this, that buys more "credit". All players work on a credit system. The more good things they do, the more slack they're cut when things go bad. If Grossman had opened week 1 with a terrible week and followed it with another bad week in week 2, he'd be absolutelyWill one bad week change that though?I'd think so.

and rightly so.When you start like he's done though, he "earns" the "right" to post some ugly weeks. Jwhat are you sorry for? Not knowing anything about QBs? Just wondering if you still had the same thoughts about Grossman.Hi yormom,Yes. I think he sucks and I think Griese is the better QB. Sorry.J
I don't think there's any reason to fear an injury with Grossman. Obviously, it could happen, but he's no more injury prone than any other QB.He's had 2 major injuries in his entire football career. One was the ACL tear two years ago, and the other was his broken ankle. Sometimes, ACLs are just ready to go in athletes who have been playing for years, and he planted funny and it popped. Shrug. There's no reason to assume that will happen again. In fact, there's some talk among experts that in such a situation the ACL, if properly rehabbed, will be even stronger afterwards. Then last preseason he had a DT roll over his ankle, and I think that breaks most anyones ankle. That makes him injury prone? He has never been injured by a hard hit or anything like that. Besides, the Bears OL has been giving him tons of time, even against a Detroit team that sacked Hasselbeck 5 times. I'm not saying to expect 3 TDs from him every week, but I don't think anyone should be overly concerned about injury.
Hi yourmm,Where do you rank Grossman right now going forward among QBs and how do you think he'll fare the rest of the year?Jwhat are you sorry for? Not knowing anything about QBs? Just wondering if you still had the same thoughts about Grossman.Hi yormom,Yes. I think he sucks and I think Griese is the better QB. Sorry.
I think he is a middle of the pack fantasy QB. Nice bye week guy, or if he has a really nice matchup. he is not going to be a top 10 fantasy QB. Top 15? maybe. I just wanted to know if you still thought grossman "sucked." We went back and forth in the pre-season thread and I don't want to go over that again. I just couldn't understand how he said he sucked.Hi yourmm,Where do you rank Grossman right now going forward among QBs and how do you think he'll fare the rest of the year?Jwhat are you sorry for?

Which QB would you drop? Or another player?
All I want to know, still. Is WTF did so many people write this guy off after only 8 freaking games in his career?
I'm betting that is exactly what the Bears want. When teams start preparing for Grossman, that running game will go wild. With their D, that's even more scary IMO.
Not sure how it ended but at the half I was not happy with the TOP numbers. Key going forward for the Bears is getting that running game chugging and keeping that D real fresh, so they can just tee off
Of course if I was really smart I'd have done this earlier in the play so I could play him. No way expecting these numbers every week. But a 2 QB league, I could use just some steady play without worrying about benchings, getting killed by a horrible offensive line, and/or loads of turnovers.
At this point, with Plummer and Green on my team, I'll take 181 and 1 TD!!I still can't believe I picked up Grossman and was happy about it.
The guy is solid.
