Holy cajoles!
/Didn't see that coming.
I guess Grossman's inconsistent play is better than the Beck's "unknowns"?

Or maybe Beck is simply more suitable as a backup at the moment. Since he has less experience, he is not proficient at executing as many plays as Grossman can currently.

Could be that too. Grossman has had an extra year in the system compared to Beck. Honestly I think at some point this season we'll see what Beck has to offer.

Bottom line, Rex had a better preseason.

True. But to be honest, I felt like it wasn't even much of a qb competition from the way the media were talking. People felt like it was a given that Beck would take the job barring horribly poor play. He did have a bad game against Tampa but I thought that would've been a pass given it was the last preseason game, playing with backups, etc. I guess I am a little suprised, but honestly Grossman did play just as good as Beck did this preseason.

Beck had a terrible game against TB....against their 3's and 4's. Rex performed well against the 1's of Pittsburgh and Baltimore and had a better stat line.

I felt like Both QB's were equal this preseason, and that Beck should have gotten the start based on the fact that he's an unknown with potential and accuracy where as Grossman is known for what he can do.
