[CBFF] Throwing in the towel? (Re: Another statistic)

[Phil DeNomme]

You mean running backwards in to the pressure isn't a good idea?

Mobile? How? Running back ten yards whenever there's pressure? Tucking the
ball and getting tripped up after taking a step?

If there is any chance that Rex is coming back next year to compete
for the starting job, I say keep him in there til the last game of the
season, and then give Orton the snaps.

This is clearly a different Rex Grossman.  He's playing with a bit of
a chip on his shoulder (did you see how pissed he was when Dez Clark
called a TO at the end of the 1st half?).  He's making fewer mistakes.
He's even a little more mobile than I'm used to seeing.

And while this is difficult to quantify, I just like the way the ball
comes out of his hands.  When Griese would throw to the flats, I would
have time to take a leak it took so long to get there.  Rex's quick
release is somewhat reminiscent of Marino.  He's a short QB with a big
arm.

I know people like Orton, but my gut tells me he doesn't have the
mettle to handle being a starting QB, least of all in this market and
for this team.
