Grossman=Bad.
Beck=Just as Bad.
On top of that they both are 30 or 31. Not much difference. Expect more of the same this weekend.

Rex didn't take the Bears to the SB - the Bears took Rex in spite of himself. That year he had 23 TD's and 20 INT's that year with a 54% completion rate. On top of that he only had one 300+ yard passing game, with 6 games where he didn't even make 200 yards (he had one 24 yard passing game - yes, you read that right). Not exactly, "taking the team" anywhere.
With that said, I am not expecting much more from Beck. He has been inaccurate & made poor decisions in both games. He is more mobile, so maybe he isn't
quite as bad as Sexy, but I just don't think he is much of an upgrade. There is a reason Shanny started Rex in front of him and, from what I can tell, it was purely performance based.
