ST. LOUIS (Aug. 12, 2005) -- Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman broke his left ankle early in the second quarter of a preseason game against the St. Louis Rams and will be sidelined three to four months. Grossman, who played in only three games last season before being shelved by a right knee injury, was hurt with 11:08 to go in the half on a 4-yard completion to Darnell Sanders. After being flushed out of the pocket by Jeremy Loyd and Trev Faulk and getting spun around by Faulk, he got back to his feet. While limping, Grossman signaled for a trainer. He then sat down and grabbed his left knee in pain, and slammed his helmet on the cart before being taken off the field. The Bears used four quarterbacks last year and have used at least three in six of seven seasons. They could be stuck in a similar predicament this year given that backup Chad Hutchinson is unproven. General manager Jerry Angelo said in the offseason that he was committed to having a veteran backup on board, but the team passed on Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson and Jay Fiedler. Grossman was 6-for-11 for 52 yards before leaving the scoreless game. He was replaced by Hutchinson, who led the Bears to their only first-half score on the same drive.

I should have known that he would step up and attack, err, uhh, I mean point out, err, uhh, take his anger out on you for making a comment that wasn't well thought out.
damn he cant catch a break well he can lol he just caught a broken ankle i like Grossman I wish he would stay healthy so we could see his full potential in the NFL. Tough luck for the bears and Grossman. U gotta think about whats going through his mind now he must be fustrated as f**k.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (J-E-T-S 1083)</div><div class='quotemain'>damn he cant catch a break well he can lol he just caught a broken ankle </div> HAHAHAHAHA I think the bears should trade their first round for someone really good like JP LOsman He sounds like a pro bowler from wht ive heard from bills fans Theyre going to have to pick up an experienced QB. I dont see Orton as a good starter but they may not have a choice.
Wow...I actually looked forward to watching him play...he seemed like he had all sorts of potential, but now I'm not sure where he'll go. The good news in all of this is that Kyle Orton may get a chance to start. Orton was my favority college QB last year. I have no idea if he is going to make it as a pro football player, but I liked his leadership.
Kyle Orton just started his campaign for rookie of the year... (or biggest bust ever) I guess time will tell.
They are gonna have to find someway to get a good veteran in there. Hutchinson hasnt done anything good, and Orton will be good later but not just now. They should try trading for Billy Volek, he can light up the scoreboard.
The bears need to i dontknow what the they need to do i mean we got a good D and we got a good everything else besides QB Chad better do good damn it
