Blind hope?

Actually, I think it's a slump, similar to a sophomore slump a lot of QBs go
through (see Carson Palmer, injured knee aside).  Game-wise, Grossman's
roughly at that point.  I'm just guessing that he's going to pull out the
way that many of those QBs do.

In truth, similar to you, I've suggested a number of times during this slump
that Grossman be pulled for short periods of time (not necessarily entire
games) to watch from the sideline.  The most common coherent argument
against it is that his confidence would plunge and never recover.

In any case it will be interesting to see what happens.
