Bench Rex? Uh-uh.

A few weeks ago I decried the lack of perspective shown by those calling for Rex Grossman to be replaced. So you think after a few more rough outings I’m ready to eat some serious humble pie?

Not on your life.

These are impatient times, folks, but when it comes to football, I’ll trade broadband for dial-up any day of the week.

That’s not to say you wait on Rex forever. If his struggles continue for another couple of games, well, forget patience. Then it’ll be time to get the Griese gun limbered up for a run at the Super Bowl.

Until then though, I say stay the course. Rex has turned in some woeful performances as of late, but I still think he has enough raw goods to warrant the wait.

He has the support of his teammates. His coach is firmly in his corner too. If and when Rex does pull out of it, that loyalty could be a big chemistry builder.
