The Bears thought they had great depth at QB coming into the season with three QBs with starting experience but they all stunk this season.  Rex Grossman was especially awful!  He played in 8 games this season for the Bears and he completed 122 of 225 passes (54.2%) for 1,411 yards with 4 TD passes and 7 interceptions (66.4 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 14 times for 27 yards (1.9 ypc).  Grossman has now played in 32 games in his NFL career and he has completed 489 of 900 passes (54.3%) for 5,907 yards with 31 TD passes and 33 interceptions (70.9 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 52 times for 76 yards (1.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.

Brian Griese followed Grossman this season and he was also ineffective.  Griese played in 7 games this season for the Bears and he completed 161 of 262 passes (61.5%) for 1,803 yards with 10 TD passes and 12 interceptions (75.6 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 13 times for 28 yards (2.2 ypc) this year.  Griese has now played in 88 games in his NFL career and he has completed 1,642 of 2,612 passes (62.9%) for 18,367 yards with 114 TD passes and 92 interceptions (83.6 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 233 times for 583 yards (2.5 ypc) with 5 TD runs.

Kyle Orton got a couple of starts at the end of the season and he was so-so.  Orton played in 3 games this season for the Bears and he completed 43 of 80 passes (53.8%) for 478 yards with 3 TD passes and 2 interceptions (73.9 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 5 times for -1 yard (-0.2 ypc).  Orton has now played in 18 games in his NFL career and he has completed 233 of 448 passes (52%) for 2,347 yards with 12 TD passes and 15 interceptions (62.2 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 29 times for 43 yards (1.5 ypc).
