Griese to start next game.

story


Rex Grossman's latest meltdown reportedly will have him standing on the sidelines this week.


The Chicago Bears need to bench Rex Grossman, and not just for a game or two. For good, writes Len Pasquarelli. Story

The Chicago Tribune, citing an anonymous source, reported on its Web site that backup Brian Griese will replace Grossman as the starting quarterback when the Bears face the Lions.

Chicago returns to practice on Wednesday to prepare for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Grossman threw three interceptions as the Chicago Bears fell to the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Sunday night.

Grossman ranks 23rd in the league with 500 yards, has a 45.2 rating and is 47-of-89 (52.8 percent) with a league-leading six interceptions and just one touchdown.

A Pro Bowl pick with Denver in 2000, Griese has passed for 16,564 yards, but has also been released three times -- by the Broncos, Miami and Tampa Bay.

I picked Brian Griese up on my fantasy team yesterday. That's how sure I was that Rex would be benched after that game. I'm a Bears fan, and I've found that Lovie's decisions mirror exactly what I would do. I've been firmly in the "give Rex a chance" camp until that Dallas game. When he threw that last interception, I decided that his career as a Bear is over. No more starts this year, no contract offer in the offseason. He'd make a decent backup, but not in Chicago.
