The Facts:
HC Lovie Smith is prepared to let Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton compete for the team's starting spot until the fourth and last game of the preseason, though he's hoping it doesn't come to that. "Ideally you would like to have someone in place going into that last week of the preseason," Smith said Saturday. "But we'll just let it play out. If it's not clear by then, we'll let it go right up until [preseason's end]."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Grossman lost his starting spot last year to Brian Griese, who has been released. He regained the starting job due to an injury to Griese, then suffered a knee sprain and lost it to Orton. Grossman has 32 career starts and 33 interceptions to 31 touchdown passes for a passer rating of 70.9. Orton has a 62.2 career passer rating. ... Like Smith, we're not necessarily looking for a quick resolution.
