Need to give it at least a couple games. Rex was a sure fire pro bowler after the Giants game. Consistency is key.
Even if you throw in Barkley and Jones I still don't see a rookie QB not named Luck that would be able to run the offense in 2012 better then Beck or Grossman (or Leinart for that matter).
You know... I wanted Andy Dalton and people said he was not starting material. Said he would probably go in the 4th to 5th round and not be any good. I'm sure there are other QB's out their that can be brought in to start but KS will have his hands full with major coaching up over the summer. On top of that the team would need to stick to what the QB knows and what he can do.

Why don't we keep this thread focused on our current starting QB. We have multiple other threads to discuss potential QBs currently playing in college
What are you like the moderator or something? Couldnt help myself.
Im gonna start calling you Anderson Cooper.

Of course you dont bench a QB for bad defensive play but if Beck has better numbers but the O still struggles to score points it will be interesting to see what happens. I think now that the change has been made, unless Beck is really terrible, the Skins have to stick with him for the rest of the year.
and your concerns are mine. If the team started out with Beck and he was horrible, then bringing in Grossman, who knew the offense better would make sense. Starting with Grossman and now switching to Beck after only 5 games says you don't have faith in Grossman, which I know the lot of you don't, BUT..... what happens if Beck plays horribly? Where do we go then? Back to Grossman? lol. Arrington brought this very topic up today on their show.
I truly hope Beck comes in and plays well, moves the ball well, and scores more points per game, because if he comes in and everyone realizes it's not the QB play and that it's more his cast around him then this is going to be a huge let down and a wash for the season. Because everyone has already written Grossman off as ever taking this team into the playoffs and if Beck plays just as bad or worse......

I'm willing to give Beck the benefit of the doubt that was a jitters thing. He basically knocked the ball out of his right hand w/ his left hand, which looked really silly in slow mo btw lol. Let's see if/when he settles down at the helm.
...for eff sakes my friends aren't we due for a diamond in the ruff at QB?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Totally agree with the jitters, but honestly the Eagles didn't game plan around him either. They game planned around Grossman a less mobile QB, and we threw in a mobile QB. I think he will play well against the Panthers because their defense sucks, but the games following will be interesting since our OL is a patch work. Plus the better defenses who will game plan around him.

Yes, SS is one of the moderators here on the board. He does a damn good job at it too. Its a harder job than people think, you have to tread a fine line between over-kill and lack-a-daisical. I used to be a moderator myself, not here, but on another redskins fan site.

You do realize the post you quoted was a joke.
That said - ain't no mod like GMScud Mod. SS is all hype and fluff, ain't like he works for a major sports entertainment company and all that!
