Here's the article Danny BernSTEIN, Jr. made mention of about Rex getting unnecessarily pounded.

[quote]MIAMI, Jan. 28 — On one side of the field Sunday will be a quarterback who completed more passes this season than Joe Namath in 1968, for more yards than Roger Staubach in 1977, at a higher percentage than Johnny Unitas in 1970.

He threw more touchdowns passes than Joe Montana in 1981, with fewer interceptions than Terry Bradshaw in 1979, and with a higher passer rating than Len Dawson in 1969.

On the other side of the field will be Peyton Manning.

For most of this week, Manning will be the one prompting comparisons to all those Hall of Fame quarterbacks in their championship seasons. As the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, Manning has stretched defenses and scorched record books.

But the real statistical marvel of this season is Rex Grossman, quarterback of the Chicago Bears, who has managed to put up numbers on par with some Super Bowl legends and yet is still regarded by some as the reason that his team cannot possibly win it all.

Manning and Grossman will meet in Super Bowl XLI at Dolphin Stadium, in what appears to be a historic individual mismatch. Manning is poised to join the fraternity of quarterbacks who capped transcendent careers with championships.

Grossman appears set to join another club, smaller and less distinguished. The members have names like David Woodley, Vince Ferragamo, Tony Eason and Joe Kapp. They are among the most unheralded quarterbacks to start a Super Bowl.

Woodley, Ferragamo, Eason and Kapp share more than a low profile. All of them got one shot at football’s biggest prize, and all of them lost.

“It never leaves you,â€
