With apologies to Billy Idol
Figures. I root for two NFL teams, and this guy's going to stink up both of them:
If he passes his physical today, former Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman will sign a one-year contract with the Texans.
On Thursday, the last day of organized team activities, the Texans agreed to terms with Grossman on a one-year deal for the minimum $620,000 for a veteran with his experience. Grossman, who turns 29 in August, was drafted in the first round in 2003.
Grossman will join Matt Schaub, Dan Orlovsky and Alex Brink as quarterbacks on the roster. Coach Gary Kubiak plans to keep three on the roster this season.
If Schaub is sidelined because of injuries for the third consecutive season, Grossman will give the Texans an experienced backup behind Orlovsky, who signed as a free agent from Detroit.
Fans used to seeing David Carr's ass on the turf will be back in their comfort zone watching the awesome backward scrambling skills and wildly erratic passing that made Bears supporters the world over rend their hoagies in frustration. Meanwhile, they can continue to ponder why in the hell anybody every drafts a QB from Florida.
Or am I misrembering Danny Wuerffel's contributions to the game?
Grossman *and* Orlovsky?
Oh. My. God.
What’s your profanity filter policy, because I want to ask WHY THE FUCK DID WE BUILD A FUCKING STADIUM FOR THESE FUCKING ASSHOLES?

As a life long Bears fan and the father of a Jags/Texans fan I find myself somewhat “confused” over QB choices for this Texans team. Is the objective to lose? I am sure there is biz model that supports this..I can think of no other explanation. It worked for George Hallis…Bring back Abe Gibron!
The Texans needed veteran depth behind Schaub. There is no arguing that. But the Texans have neither the Defense nor the running game to compensate for Grossman’s inability play quarterback at a professional level.
