Grossman focused on fine-tuning fundamentals

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Nearly two months removed from Super Bowl XLI, Rex Grossman has had plenty of time to reflect on an eventful 2006 season.
In his first full year as a starter, the former Florida star quarterbacked the Bears to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1985 yet was heavily scrutinized by fans and media.
“I thought it was a great season,” Grossman said. “There were obviously a few games I wish I’d have had back, but at least two-thirds of those games, I’m extremely proud of the way our passing game played and the way I played and everything worked out great.”
Last season Rex Grossman became the first Bears quarterback ever selected as NFC Offensive Player of the Month.
Grossman was named NFC Offensive Player of the Month for September, set a franchise record by registering at least a 100 passer rating in seven games and threw 10 TD passes and three interceptions in leading the Bears to a 5-0 record for the first time since 1986.
But the 2003 first-round pick also posted passer ratings of 0.0, 1.3, 10.2, 23.7 and 36.8, a handful of unsightly blemishes that he hopes to eradicate heading into the 2007 season.
“It bothers you, and now is the time to figure out why that happened and prevent it from ever happening again,” Grossman said. “I don’t care how good you are, you’re going to have a bad game here or there. But I don’t want it to be a terrible game, and if it is a bad game, (hopefully) it’s a rare occasion.
