To me, you’re just trying to sell papers,” Grossman said. ”It doesn’t matter.”
“It’s frustrating when some of you guys don’t put too much thought into it and you’re just trying to go off the fans’ reaction or you don’t know much about what we’re doing on offense. Just realizing how ignorant some of you guys are — and I don’t mean that necessarily in a bad way. I mean, like just understanding that you may not be correct and accepting that fact and not paying attention to it much.”

I’m glad that Rex said this. It gets tiring constantly having people dump on you the way every writer or person with a blog or fan that caught five minutes of Sports Center the other night. Add to that a week of every sports writer plus just the casual sports reporters at the Super Bowl media fiasco this week repeating the same question hoping to be the one that makes you “slip up” and admit to being terrible. Finally enough is enough and Rex got his chance to speak his mind, to an extent, and took it.
It seems like everyone brings up the five crappy games Rex had, but no one remembers the good games he had during the season. People will bring up that Griese or Orton should be playing instead. Lets not forget Griese hasn’t been impressive at all this year, and Orton’s terrible, QB rating last year of 59 and has thrown more career picks than TDs. Grossman is your best shot as he gives you some semblance of a real quarterback on average, but has the potential to be a deep threat at any time.
Anyway, I’m tired of the Rex stuff, this will be the last post on Rex hate/love ever (hopefully) or at least next season if you want to be realistic.
