DMN Blog: Grossman whines about Wilson

[Gryphon]

SORRY FOR REPOST.........Grossman whines about Wilson
http://cowboys.beloblog.com/archives/2007/08/grossman_whines_about_wilson.html

The Cowboys haven't cornered the market on blaming a departed coach for past failures. Turnover-prone Bears QB Rex Grossman pointed the finger at Wade Wilson, who is now working with Tony Romo in Valley Ranch.

Grossman raved about new Bears QB coach Pep Hamilton to the Sporting News while working in a shot at Wilson.

"He's come in and specifically worked on the things I didn't do so well last year," Grossman, 27, says of the 32-year-old Hamilton, who coached with the 49ers in 2006. "Stepping up in the pocket, making sure I have two hands on the ball, going through my reads and staying balanced at the top of my drop.

"To not have to do that on your own or try to make someone help you with something is just unbelievable."

Fortunately for Grossman, plenty of folks are willing to help him these days. The Chicago Sun-Times tracked down a bunch of fifth graders who offered him pointers on the difficult task of taking snaps.

Ya know, I kind am worried about wade wilson also.

My first thought when he was hired was why?

When he was here before our qb play was the worst in the league in carter, hutchinson and the rest of the crew that gave it a shot.

Then in chicago the qbs stunk every year he was there.

Now he is here. I hope he doesnt jinx us.

Human nature, blame the guy who just left for your own shortcomings. :laugh2:

 

[kevwun]

He's got bigger problems than Wade Wilson if a coach has to remind him to keep two hands on the ball. Is this pee-wee football or the NFL?

Carter had a drug problem and Hutchinson just stunk. Neither improved any after having a chance to work with "a better QB coach." We'll see about Grossman, but the smart money is on the fact that he will stink again next season.

Yes, Pep's positive new influence was very evident vs. the Colts the other night.

Even if Wilson doesn't do much (hard to blame him for not making QCar, Hutch, Stoerner, etc. into chicken salad), Garrett can teach Romo everything he needs to know.

Wade Wilson is the reason why he even looked halfway decent last year, stop whining Rex and learn to handle the snap! :laugh2:

Well the fact that both of those guys are out of football tells you the talent level he had to work with. You still need talent to work with.

To be honest, Wilson has never impressed me as a player or coach anywhere. I hope I am wrong. I want to be wrong.

I think Wilson is a good QB coach, Grossman problems are taking place between the ears not the mechanics.

 

[Crown Royal]

I dunno what to think about Wilson. On the one hand, I don't know what success he has had, other than being good friends with Jerry. On the other, he hasn't had much talent with which to work.

Well said!!!!

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Hope this is not true or it could hurt with ROMO's development

You are not wrong about him as a player. Fortunately, being a good or great player is not a prerequisite for bring a good coach. There is just not enough to go by to determine if he is a good coach or a bad coach. He has had nothing to work with in either Dallas or Chicago. Maybe he can provide something to Romo. Surely after playing 17 years in the NFL Wade can pass something productive on to Romo.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I don't remember a QB ever being better once they left Wilson's tutelage. He had to work with some real stinkers over the years. Grossman's issues are that he sucks and you can't coach unsuckiness.

I wonder if that's the same Pep Hamilton that played QB at Howard University back in the mid-90s. If so he had his own problems keeping two hands on the ball. He was terrible. Nice guy but was really bad a a starter.

It is. :laugh2: I went to Howard from 92-96 when he was there.

If I were a fifth-year player in the NFL, I would be ashamed to have the media quote me about my own failures as a professional quarterback. I wish there was video of him saying this, though. :laugh1:

From what I've seen of Rex so far this preseason, he needs to shut the hell up.
