I think most Bears fans are relieved to see the pre-season end. The Bears concluded the pre-season last night with a resounding defeat of the Cleveland Browns, 20-7. Finally, this team played the way I know they're capable of. The defense dominated, and the offense played with greater efficiency than I've seen from them since the end of last season.
I know a lot of fans would prefer to see veteran QB Brian Griese as the starting quarterback, but the fact is, this is and always has been Rex Grossman's team. The Bears are committed to playing Grossman as long as he stays healthy. Griese is a solid backup who can provide veteran leadership when called upon. I doubt that the Bears will switch QBs mid-season or even mid-game unless Grossman gets injured or the team loses several games in a row.
In any case, the Bears look ready to repeat as division champs. The season opener begins September 10 against Green Bay.
