Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)

Guys, is there really anything there with Crompton? Or are we just really grasping?

Crompton looked ok in the preseason. Not terrible, not great. Had some fine throws mixed with some ghastly ones. And none of us here have seen him throw a pass as a Redskin. So, yeah, some grasping is going on.

That said, we know that Beck and Wrecks are not the future. Therefore we should test drive Rockytop once we are eliminated and no harm to our season can be done. Maybe he is not our future. But he's the only QB we have who MIGHT be.

i wish they play Riley at Rocky's spot starting this week

This! I haven't understood why he isn't getting more reps.. Fletcher's inevitable retirement isn't too far away and Rocky has just been SO inconsistent.

Goodness, I must have been asleep during the preseason. When did Crompton play?

And can we just bring back Clemens and Chappell while we're at it?

He played against us week 4 as a Buccaneer.

pj5! Lol.

Yes, this is exactly it. I love the youth movement that we saw yesterday but Beck being so completely inept is going to stunt the growth of all our young offensive players. Beck is NOT our future QB so why are we going to go through growing pains grooming him? Inbetween his turnovers Rex will run the offense properly and get the ball to our WR's when they are open. Rex is terrible...I never thought i would want him back in there but Beck is not even an NFL QB. His only scoring drives since he started playing are garbage time drives. It seemed like yesterday he was determined not to be sacked 10 times so he was just checking the ball down imediately before anything developed.

And I was there yesterday...so I saw the whole field on every play...this is not Kyle...we had open WR's all over the field. This is a QB problem...I agree with you and SS. Beck's play obscured a lot of potential positives from this game. It was our best use of personnel the whole season.

I'm not reading 5 pages of this thread to see if it's been mentioned, but man I am so tired of Laron Freaking Landry. Getting into shouting matches before the game, wagging his finger and jawing after making a tackle on a 12 yard play that went for a first down....

Just shut your freaking trap man. You're not even that good right now.

Also, how funny is it that our longest offensive play was a mistake? Helu grabs that tipped ball out of the air and takes off for like 14 or 16 yards or whatever it was. Just pathetic.

And John Beck... ohhhh John Beck. You absolutely stink out loud like I've never seen. Jumpy in the pocket, terrible awareness, throws to guys that are covered when other guys are wide freaking open, if Justin Smith had hands Beck would have thrown a touchdown in the endzone, horribly inaccurate.... I could go on. He's god awful.

I firmly believe that if Beck stays the starter, we won't win another game. Not a single one.

yes. and sadly regardless who starts Miami might trounces us next weekend
