How Many Regular Season Games Will Rex Grossman Start

This. I think next year's qb of the future is currently residing on an NCAA roster somewhere.

Matt Barkley anyone? :)

Matt Barkley anyone? :)

Anyone opposed? Beats the hell out of Rex and Beck.

I think the Keim article with the scout's (Razzano) opinion sums up my feelings on the Rex situation. I think Rex gives us the best chance to win now, but we know his ceiling. We dont know Becks ceiling, was hoping to find that out and I think we still will.

I put in 11-16 and think it will be close to the full 16. I think if by game 10 we have a horrible record (something like 2-8, 3-7) we make a change just so we can see what we have in Beck, but as I think we will be closer to 5-5 or maybe better I think Rex will be the Qb for the entire year.

wish the thread title had been:

How many chucks will RG chuck, if RG could chuck chucks!!

I said 11-16, don't see him pulled unless or until playoffs are out of the question.

Grossman is on a short leash...if he stinks the first two games he will be pulled. I dont think he will cause the running game will be killing it.

I don't know how often Rex will say f' it and just chuck it, but I get the feeling he's going to come out against the Giants and audible to a deep pass on the first play from scrimmage just so he can go deep.

See Griese v. Plummer in Denver. Shanny went back & forth w/them for a while. He's not hesitant to bench anyone, that's part of his coaching MO. I Rex will start most (2/3) but he will get benched.

Unless he really has no confidence in Beck, Shanny will bench Rex as soon after he feels things aren't working. We saw w/McNabb last year that he will bench a qb & deal w/a lot of questions. I don't see nearly as much scrutiny coming to such a decision w/Grossman. I see him being benched a few times this year w/the caveat that in at least 1 case the game will be near over.

Let's start with the assumption that Rex plays a full season...

--History of injuries (minus 4 games)
--History of inconsistent play (minus 3 games)
--Increased risk of injury, age-related (minus 2 games)
--Increased risk of benching due to capable backup (minus 2 games)
--Increased risk of benching due to coach with history of benching QBs quickly (minus 2 games)
--Increased risk of benching due to Skins' being out of playoff contention (minus 2 games)

So I'll say 1-5 games for Rex...

I dont know why all the hate for rex. HE is a superbowl Qb.
