Rex Grossman & Tom Brady - Two Sides Of The Same Coin

Gee - it's gotta suck in New England this morning. Patriots fans got to witness something that they are not familiar with: seeing the QB on his ass. And when your QB is on his ass for most of the game there is something he just cannot do: that would be to quarterback.

I have said in this blog numerous times that if Brady or Peyton Manning came to the Bears their QB rating, TD's to Int's %, and win/loss stats would pretty much be the same as Rex's or Griese's or Orton's.

Some of you thought I was high. Well how do you like me now?

It's so FUCKING funny how all the clown-boys on Chicago sports radio and most of the print media in this town persecuted Rex for not "sensing the rush", not knowing how to step up the pocket when pressure is coming, and not being mobile enough to get out of the pocket like any "real" NFL QB would, etc., etc.,

Gee, didn't look like the future greatest QB of all time, Tom Brady, knew how to "sense the rush" last night. I can't remember of the three, but on the Chicago ESPN afternoon AM 1000 radio talk show, "Mike, Jerk-off, and Harry", one of those morons would lament week after week how Rex sucks cause he doesn't know how to "sense the rush".

"I want a QB that knows where the pressure is coming from and is fast enough to run away from it" you would hear from that show week after week.

So I guess they wouldn't want Tom Brady to play in Chicago, who by his own admission doesn't run that good anyway.

Among those in Chicago who knows how to play QB - even the average fat-ass ex-lineman, everyone to almost a moron, parroted the fact that Rex needs to "step up in the pocket". Just like Brady did against the Giants I guess. It was also too funny how Troy Aikeman didn't have anything to say about Brady not stepping up in the pocket last night. But, he managed to say it 4-5 times a game about Rex when he was doing Bears games along with his jerk-me buddy, Joe Buck. Let's face it, one, you don't criticize Tom Brady. Two you can criticize Rex Grossman because everyone else is doing it. Three, the type of fast, furious, in your-face-in-2-seconds FROM EVERYWHERE kinda rush that Rex got almost every down this year, was somehow not as intense as the rush from the Giants D-line that Brady got in the Super Bowl.

Yea right.

When Rex couldn't make plays because the Bears O-line couldn't block, well, supposedly a good quarter back would make a play and make something happen. Uh, huh. When Brady couldn't avoid the Giant's rush, all Aikeman had to say was that the Giants were soooo good. Uh, huh. Troy, for being a pussy and not calling out your buddy Tom Brady for the EXACT same things you picked on Rex for - you are a JAG BAG!

But, truth be told, what the hell was Brady suppose to do? They were killing him. If you ever watch a highlight film of Brady, Manning (not JR. who just got his 15 minutes), or Montana, 95% of the time they have no one around then except their own lineman. How many times did we see Brady have 5-6 seconds to throw the ball this year? And he had Moss, Stallworth, and Weckler to throw it too.

How many times did we see Rex have more than 2-3 seconds to throw the ball? Not many. And who does Rex throw it to? Berrian, Moose, and whoever?

Ya see, to these numb-nuts media types, favoritism and cowardice go hand in hand. There is no bigger bullshit artist than the average guy on sports talk radio or the me-too come lately's who pretend they are the next John Madden. What these clowns don't get is that the Madden's and Ditka's of the world separate them self’s from the pack because they have the BALLS to call it like it is - not make excuses or omit facts for one, then turn around and hold someone like Rex to another standard.
