The Bears are in a world of hurt right now with Grossman breaking his ankle last night. He’s essentially out for the entire season. The Bears’ upper management took a gamble on Grossman staying healthy for the entire season, and it looks like they just lost the farm. Hutchinson and Orton appear to be a lot better than the backups of Quinn and Krentzel from last year, but it’s a disgrace that they couldn’t sign a quality backup in the off-season. It pains me to say this, but it looks like Rex was another Bears QB bust. We may never know how good he could have been because injuries have kept him from playing. Even though this is very disappointing for Bears fans, here are three reasons why not to give up hope for this season.
- The injury happened very early in the pre-season, so the backups will get plenty of reps before the first game.
- Ron Turner’s offense is not nearly as complex or hard to understand as the offense the Bears tried to run last year.
- Defense.

Why can't it let me vote again? I'll reiterate my stand on "0-3 games" vote.
Maybe they can pick up Sage or Senaca! That would offer them a little more hope:)
The defense is going to have to remain uncannily healthy for them to carry the team. The last two preseason games have only validated my comments on depth.
Jeff Blake? Well I guess the pickings are pretty slim at this point.
