Rex Grossman’s ironically perfect take on Kyler Murray and the NFL
If you’re a Bears fan, you probably remember Rex Grossman as the guy who turned the ball over way too much — and somehow still made it to a Super Bowl, which was kind of mind-boggling. Back then, Grossman leaned heavily on Chicago’s strong defense to carry him through games, and now he’s suggesting that Kyler Murray could use the same setup.
“I love watching him play,” Grossman told Cardinals insider Kyle Odegard. “I think he’d be awesome on a great team. I’d like to see him have an unbelievable defense, so he doesn’t have to carry everything himself.”
The funny part? Grossman’s advice is basically a throwback to his own career — relying on a great defense to mask some questionable quarterback play. It’s pretty ironic. Plus, it’s a little off, because Arizona’s defense was actually solid last season, ranking in the top half of the league.
Of course, any quarterback would benefit from a great defense. But here’s the thing: Murray isn’t perfect. He’s definitely more polished than Grossman ever was, but he’s not exactly a superstar yet either.
So, Grossman’s take has a few layers — it’s funny, a bit ironic, and maybe a little frustrating for fans who remember watching Grossman’s risky plays. At the same time, it points out that Murray’s defense is already pretty good, and maybe he just needs to step up his own game.
Honestly, if the Bears had someone like Murray back in their Super Bowl days, who knows? Maybe Peyton Manning wouldn’t have walked away with the trophy after all.
