^ Yeah i think that although it comes across to us as the players want Grossman and not Beck, it may be more like they think Grossman wasnt given a fair chance and that the situation is unfair no matter who the starter is. So its not that they necessarily prefer catching passes from one player over another. Theyre just trying to be diplomatic, no chance it causes any players to treat Beck differently then how they otherwise would. Ill also add i think several players were outspoken about the benching of McNabb

If I recall correctly, Moss came to JC's defense as well(not because of being benched, though).

Moss was easily Rex's favorite receiver so I can understand why he would stick up for him, still it was one of those keep it to yourself type situations.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but man what a great kid Andy Dalton is. I'm watching inside the NFL tonight w/ him being mic'd , besides being a pretty good QB, he has a great personality. Cincy is lucky to have him, he would have been a great Redskin.

Yeah you called it. I thought maybe you were just showing a bit of TCU/Sammy Baugh bias, but so far so good
Back to Beck. I hope he plays well enough to show people Kyle is talented

The funny thing to me is that Grossman had no difficulty with pushing the blame onto his receivers for some INT's. A QB in the NFL doesn't do that..........
I also didn't see anyone really backing Grossman other than Moss. I saw where Brown, Orakpo and another player was discussing the TO's. Obviously they didn't come out and throw Grossman under the bus as he did his receivers. However, they definitely aren't happy with the TO's.

I wonder if Beck and Jackie Battle will parallel each other performance-wise for the rest of the season.

Yea, getting excited about Beck is like having the dumpy chick you knew from school move in with you. She may be good for a few organisms but you know you'll never get engaged to her.

It is a move that had to happen given the numbers. My issue is this :
1) we are 3-2
2) Heading on the road for a winable game, which in my opinion would have been the best place for Rex to play (any where but home)
3) I know he has 8 or 9 picks, but how many are actually all on him?? Two last week were on Fred Davis, I can count a few more that either went off receivers hands, Santana fell on one, Armstrong was held on another. Unfortunately these things go against a QB's numbers and it doesn't look good. If the whole picture is disected, its more bad luck than horrible throws.
4) We lost 2 of our starting lineman
5) what happened to the running game?? Which hurt the ability to throw effectively when the D isn't planning on getting run on.
I hope Beck comes out and does a hell of job. And if this was reverse I'd be saying the same thing about Beck so dont think I am standing up for Rex. I am standing up for the QB position, because it takes way too much credit when they win, and way too much heat when we lose.
