SEATTLE (AP) -Bloodied and bandaged, Rex Grossman now seems baffled about his fight for the Bears' quarterback job.
Grossman started and completed 9 of 15 passes with one interception in a harried, sputtering quarter and a half before Kyle Orton led Chicago to a field goal during a crisp two-minute drill in the Bears' 29-26 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night.
Now he hopes this forgettable night won't matter so much in deciding who starts Chicago's opener Sept. 7 at Indianapolis.
'This will be my fifth year with this coaching staff. They've seen me for four years,' Grossman said, with a cut below the bridge of his nose and a gauze wrap over his bruised throwing forearm.
'I think they should know' about me, he said.
Seattle's relentless blitzes often left Grossman without time to find a friendly jersey, let alone set his feet to throw. Chicago produced 82 yards, three first downs and no points in 23 plays with the maligned sixth-year veteran, who is 19-11 as a starter. He was sacked once, pressured many more times. He committed one intentional-grounding penalty out of self-preservation.
Apparently they DO NOT know about you Rex ... You are still a Bear
there was alot of people in love with Sexy Rexy when they made their Super Bowl run...I knew he was worthless then and I know he's worthless now. It was all smoke and mirrors back then.
