If I ever start bitching about the Buccaneers' depth at quarterback, someone just point me to this post so I can feel better.
The newly re-signed Rex Grossman and the constantly drunk and occasionally gay Kyle Orton will battle in training camp for the starting quarterback spot in Chicago, making it possibly the most pathetic quarterback controversy in the history of professional football. And I'm including that Chris Chandler/Vinny Testaverde thing in the 90s. The increasingly-hated-in-Chicago Jerry Angelo speaks:
"Obviously, we want to get the best player under center. Kyle did some good things at the end. I think he deserves the right to compete at the position. I don't see this dragging out into the season. We will have a pretty good feel as we already do about the guys and what the tiebreaker is, and that has to be determined by the coaches."
They'd be better off putting Devin Hester in as the offback in a Wing-T and having ten blockers on the field. Or just letting the defense play both ways. You know who suffers the most here, though? Brian Griese. There's no way they're going to keep him, so he's going to get cut in favor of Gimpy and the Lush (coming soon to ABC.) No one deserves that.
It's a contest so spectacular in its awfulness that it needs a name. You know how Ali/Frazier and Ali/Foreman got cool names like "The Thrilla in Manilla" and "The Rumble in the Jungle"? It needs one of those. Like "The Midway Meltdown" or "The Great Chicago Suck-Off". I'm just thinking out loud here.

There was some offhand rumor on foxsports about the Buccaneers looking at bringing in Rex Grossman.
Why would we want a QB who couldn't complete a pass to save his own life.
Speaking of QB's, any chance we could draft Brian Brohm?

There's always a chance, and if Brohm's stock falls enough, I wouldn't be surprised. I think it's more likely that the team pursues a younger free agent. Billy Volek, maybe? If they were to take anyone with their first pick, I have to think it would be Joe Flacco. But right now, the needs are too great elsewhere.
