hm? isn't there a point at which increasing variance as rex grossman does could be beneficial? i suppose not for a team as good as the chicago bears.

The better the team is, the worse variance is. The worse the team is, the better variance is.

I think an argument could also be made that a good O / bad D team is more apt to benefit from higher variance and that the bad O / good D team is hurt by it.

all this is mitigated by the fact that grossman just sucks anyways.

Let's put it this way, in his mind, Grossman is the best option at QB...so, at the QB position he gives you best chance to win. But forcing him to make plays decreases the chance you win. He's basically saying you have to put someone in at QB, but because Rexy is the "best" option, you can't let him throw the ball much or you'll turn it over, and increase likelihood of losing. It's like putting Timmy Lupus in the outfield and hitting him 9th. Someone has to fill those two "voids" but you better not need him to actually make plays for you.

Obviously you can't just hand it off everytime though.
