      Exactly. But which would help Dunn more, the threat of Vick's scrambling or the threat of another quarterback's more accurate passing? If Atlanta had a more accurate passer under center, more defenders would drop into coverage or pass-blitz, which would help Dunn as well.

      • Good question, Jaguar, but if Atlanta had a more accurate passer, wouldn't that require WRs who could actually catch? Without those, then Vick's running ability is probably more helpful.

        • Leinart drives the Cards right down the field, giving the Cards a quick 7-0 lead against the mighty Bears.

                    • He's playing like crap, and the Cards are riding an emotional high.

                      Feels like an upset. Still, it's early. Ish.

                      • Rex is playing the same way he did in the first few games of this year. Earlier in the year, I accused him of bad pocket presence, a hasty release, and a tendency to throw the ball up for grabs. He's been making those mistakes the entire year. Now they're just catching up to him in a big way.

                        I still contend he's very comparable to Eli Manning. Big arm, not-so-big patience, and that leads to very uneven but sometimes spectacular play - in this case, spectacularly bad.

                        Oh, and don't be at all surprised if the same things that are killing him now make a big play or two later.

                        • I've seen Eli Manning play; and sir, Rex Grossman is no Eli Manning.

                          • Well, Grossman's had better stats than Eli Manning until now.

                            In overall ability, one may prove to be the better quarterback. Both have a whole lot of talent. But the way they make decisions is very similar, and not particularly good.

                            • Four turnovers in the first half, all by Grossman.
                              The Bears appear to be... DOOMED!
