[CBFF] Long goodbye -- chicagotribune.com

[Phil DeNomme]

There are some people that like Quinn Gray.  I looked up his stats and this
year along in 7 games in which he threw a pass, he has 1 more 300 yard game
than Rex.  He might be worth a look after all.  ;)

This guy seems to be that guy that Tom is looking for.  An undrafted FA guy
that is a back up.  He has great size.  Has anyone seen him play?

So, Rex, Kyle, and a free agent/trade/draft pick to compete openly for the
#1 spot.
I can live with that. The thought of having Rex or Kyle as a back up is way
better than the 1990 to 2006 plan.
