[CBFF] Long goodbye -- chicagotribune.com

[Phil DeNomme]

Points scored per game excluding the 2 games where one started and another
finished.

Griese: 22.2 in 5 games
Rex:  18.17 in 6 games
Orton:  27 in 3 games

To me, that doesn't look like the offense is more dangerous with Rex in
there...in fact, it's the opposite.

But what's that you say?  There's ST and defensive points to consider.
Ok...here it is without defensive points and ST scores.

Griese: 20.8 in 5 games
Rex:  14.67 in 6 games
Orton:  19.33 in 3 games

A Rex led offense scores a TD less than a Griese led offense and 5 points
less than an Orton led offense.

But stats, smats....Rex is by far better.

It depends on what you mean by better. Grossman definitely makes the
offense more dangerous but Griese is more efficient at dinking and
dunking down the field. Before this year I would have added that
Griese protects the ball better but now I'm not so sure.
