QBs had their moments in '07



LAKE FOREST, Ill. – While the Bears are determined to bring stability to their quarterback position heading into the 2008 season, all three Chicago passers had positive moments in 2007.

After replacing an injured Brian Griese in a Week 10 win at Oakland, Rex Grossman completed 75 of 136 passes for 911 yards with three touchdowns, one interception and an 80.2 passer rating in 16 quarters.

Grossman’s one interception during that five-week span was tied with New England’s Tom Brady and Jacksonville’s David Garrard for fewest in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least 100 passing attempts. The Bears scored 90 points in those 16 quarters after mustering just 26 in their first three contests of the season with Grossman under center.

Kyle Orton helped lead the Bears to victories in each of their final two regular-season games for just the third time in the last 21 years. Orton won two of three starts to improve his career record to 12-6, a .667 winning percentage that ranks fourth among Bears starting quarterbacks with at least 16 starts. Grossman is fifth on that list at .633 (19-11).

By my count the best I can come up with is 7 moments. Maybe 8. Not many in whole year's worth of moments. And the last two compares Bears' quarterbacks, so guess I have to take those two away.
