Rex Grossman. Tom Brady. Who's Better?

I found this post at http://www.truthandopinion.net

Here was my reply:

"I love Tom Brady. But Montana is still the greatest. Arguably, Montana, Marino, Bradshaw all played in tougher times - New England and Indy don't have much to worry about these days. Too many teams; diluted defensive talent. Back in the day guys like Brady would have gotten their ass handed to them every week without all the candy-ass rules that protect a QB now.

The 3 best QB's in the game right now:

Brady
Manning
Grossman

OK - before all of you jump on me, hear me out - first, go to http://rexdoesnotsuck.blogspot.com/ and read some of my posts. I'm not high, I promise!

Second, there isn't a pass Brady or Manning can make right now that Grossman can't do equally or better.

He is just getting screwed in Chicago. Brady and Manning while highly talented, have class systems to work in. They have protection. They have a running game to work off of. They have receivers who do 2 things which they don't do often in Chicago:

1. Get open

2. Catch the ball

Imagine that.

Think about this, what stats do you think Brady or Manning would have if they had Chicago's receivers, o-line and Cedric Benson?

I would be willing to bet they would have more picks than TD's. Funny, the Chicago media has really piped down about Rex lately. Looks like the Bears suck anyway - and most of that I place on the coaches. Lovie is not that smart.

If you install a pee-wee offense and don't block for your QB, then blame your QB for everything that goes wrong, then the media chants 24/7 to bench Rex, then the media says his confidence is shattered - well duh.

Even Brady and Manning would begin doubting if every time they aired it out a receiver drops it or makes no effort to bat it away from the defender. There have been at least 4 TD passes or near TD passes that have been dropped on Rex.

Yea but that dumb-ass Chicago sports media keeps playing the dumb pick - over and over again.

Like him or not, Terry Bradshaw is a good evaluator of talent. He has come out in favor of Rex and pretty much verified everything I've said above. Put Rex in New England or Indianapolis and you would see something special.

Oh, what were supposed to be talking about? Brady.

Yea, he's OK."

When I first read that Rex was in your top three, I was pretty much like WHAT??? YOU MUST BE ON CRACK MAN. But... after reading further, your article makes A TON of sense. Kudos.
