When you lose to a beat up lame ass Cowboys team and barely beat the crapless Rams, their is legitimate grounds for concern. Unless of course one is short sighted. 3-1 yes, convincingly no.
The team is playing great. Grossman, not so great so far. I don't see a problem with anyone wanting Beck at this time.

Honestly even though I thought Beck played better in the preseason, I can still see the other side's point. We know what we will get from Rex; we have no idea what we will get from Beck. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Chico23231 10-03-2011, 08:30 PM I don't think Shanny should yank Rex, I just wanted to get the silly thread going and out of the way.
I see this thread is still chugging along just fine 12th :FIREdevil
Rex brings it on himself
CrazyCanuck 10-03-2011, 08:53 PM Neither Rex or Beck are the long term answers here anyway. Might as well ride Rex as long as we're winning. Makes no sense to make a change right now.
Couldn't have said it better. Shanahan did the right thing this past offseason, purge the team of the old culture, bring in a strong and deep surrounding cast that works with his system. It builds the foundation. Now he can go get the QB of the future who can come into a half decent situation.
Neither Rex nor Beck are going to win us a SB.
Agreed 100% x 2.
I think the whole Rex-Beck competition was a hoax from the get go. They did it to take the pressure off QB at the draft, and to keep the fans from starting threads similar to this.

They don't care what the hell we think. Shanahan might be deceptive about a lot of things, but competition is most certainly NOT one of those things.
fanarchist 10-03-2011, 09:04 PM Yeah but that's one side of the equation. Grossman has also made plays that have contributed to the games we've won. How do we know Beck is capable of making those plays? All Beck has so far in his career is negative plays, and he didn't exactly booster Shanny's confidence in him by tearing it up during the preseason either.
How do we know Beck isn't capable of making those plays, more plays, or better decisions if we never give him the opportunity to prove himself in a live game format with consequences.
I understand why the people here want to ride Grossman until the wheels fall off. It's the same conservative football mentality that has permeated this franchise and its fan base for the past decade. They're the same people who are complaining that we should run the ball more when we're 6th in the NFL in rushing attempts.
As the saying goes "fortune favors the bold", not fortune favors the prudent.

And how do you know that Beck CAN do those things? Answer: you don't.
The fact is, neither Grossman nor Beck are the answer in the end. When it comes to QB play this year, we must grin and bear the situation.
But since some here would like to blindly change QB's, I reinstate my call for Jon Crompton. How do we know that he isn't the next Dan Marino?
Start Crompton Now! Start Crompton Now! Rocky Top for the Win!

I'm stoked! 3-1 can't complain.. I just said if they do go w Beck why not? He's prob as good as rex anyway
Defensewins 10-03-2011, 10:42 PM So if we're 3-1, then what's the justification for bringing in Beck?
14 turnovers on 7 starts for Redskins. In a system that he says he is so great in. Not the kind of great I want as our starter. Time to try Beck.
artmonkforhallofamein07 10-03-2011, 10:50 PM What if he is worse and he sets us back a couple of weeks by losing games. This could also effect team unity and our momentum in a negative manner.
I do not like Rex, but he has us where we are even though it may be in spite of him. At the same time he has made some nice throws, and particularly in his touchdown throws.
Would Beck make those throws and would he even get us in the position to F it up in the RZ?
I know from what i have seen of the guy, he is worse then Rex at creating ints. I have a buddy who is a Miami fan and I watched his games for the Dolphins a few years ago. He was awful, and if the defense is creating pressure he is not good.
Why do you guys think we got him for Doug Dutch?
