[CBFF] Rex Poll from the Trib.

[Steve Behrens]

I think it's inconsistency still.... just like last season.... either he was
terrific (more times than not), or terrible.  I think you're seeing the same
thing with his practices / preseason games vs last Monday.   In other words,
yes, he *HAS* looked better in camp, expt for the inconsistent 'pot hole' in
the road.

Personally, I don't think it's as much fundamentals as it it just getting
comfortable under a heavy rush.  In Rex's 7 or so excellent games, I don't
think anyone really had any kind of a problem with his mechanics... we were
all thinking for the most part: "Hey! A 100+ QB rating in a rout??!?  Bear
Win!!?!!  Aint noth'n wrong with that kid!"

And then he'd go belly up... we'd forget he looked HOF like, and start
wondering what was wrong with his mechanics...  If it were his mechanics, I
don't think he'd have had those monstrous games.   I just don't think he's
comfortable and relaxed in the pocket.

He'll get there.  I hope.
