Now I've been thinking about Prior and Grossman. Both had one good/great year with playoff success (to a degree). Both were injured a good deal of time with Chicago, both here about 5 years... Kind of the same guy and I do consider Prior a bust, so you might be onto something.


Prior was a coward. Rex would play hurt. Also prior had all time great talent. Even I can't say that about Rex.

Not only that, Nas, but Prior was also a pudwhack. By all accounts Rex is a good guy.

Berrian- never had 1000 yard season even though he was option 1-3 in 2007.

The last two seasons he has missed 1000 yards by less than 50 yards. Given who has been throwing the ball I have to believe that he lost at least 100 yards by how bad his QB was.

Berrian is as good as anyone on that list except Muhammad out of Chicago.

Hester- Doesn't have a 100 receptions or a 1000 yards combined for his career but he is the #1 receiver.

Hester sucks. However, when talking about Rex, he was never the #1 or #2 option for him. Moose and Berrian were.

Muhsin Muhammad- never had more than 800 yards while he was here.

I dislike Mushin as much as anyone, but he was good before he got to Chicago and was good after he left Chicago. He is by far the best WR of that group based off of career statistics and no other WR comes close.

The Bears WR's were terrible last year but I'll put Mushin and Berrian up against any two others in the list and I think they are as good or better.

There's some kind of asshole factor when we judge players.

That may be part of the reason I don't really consider him a bust. He definitely walks a fine line and it's pretty hard to acheive a 0 qb rating. Still, they had a bigger bust with their first pick in the first round that year. Haynes was a total bust.

Bigger Bear Busts: Rashan Salaam, Cade McNown, Curtis Enis, Cedric Benson, probably David Terrell, Dan Bazuin was pretty bad

How pathetic are the Bears when a debate like this seriously rages among fans?

Boy, you said a mouthful there, Franklin. We debate Grossman and his degree of suckage, while 49er fans debate Montana v. Young. Just sad

Harbaugh vs. Grossman, discuss.

Both late 1st round picks, showed potential, villified near the end of their Bear careers. Who was the bigger bust/dissapointment? Only talking about Harbaugh as a Bear, not his later colt years.

If Rex has that sort of "Harbugh" success on another team, this is a different discussion.

Rex as a Bear is a bust, and 8 great games and mediocre (at best) playoff/Super Bowl performances don't change that one bit.
