Lets look at future positives

A lot of things killed the team this year... including the QB play.

The excuses for Rex never cease to amaze me.

I don't' think the Rex sympathizers say that he has done nothing wrong, it's just a reaction to how people think once we draft a QB (OMG!!! RGIII SUPERBOWL!!DONTH8TE) everything will be okay is discerning.

How good would you feel saying you had to go throw to Santana Moss and Jabar Gaffney? Or have to sit behind that offensive line, knowing everyone is playing out of position?

By all means, Rex can make very, very bad decisions, but he can run the system well. Holding that ball for so long in the end-zone is just typical of what he does wrong and really hurts the team.

But, for those people who are thinking Rex has been the overall negative, I don't think is right. I think he can run the system and is average. But, it's taken this long to get the running game steady. The Skins don't have WRs that are able to make separation. The offensive line isn't exactly the epitome of consistency. There are no playmakers except maybe Fred Davis.

I guess it comes down to either hauling the hate on Rex or spreading it around evenly. Just bringing in a new QB isn't going to be an automatic fix; there are more than just one problem.

Obviously we're going to make a few more moves in the offseason than just QB, and all of our problems aren't strictly related to Rex. But the simple fact is Rex is not the long term answer.

Positives: Roy Helu, Lenard Hankerson, Perry Riley, Evan Royster, Chris Neild, Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Jarvis Jenkins returning from injury.

Hopefully the 'skins add an upgrade at QB and continue adding depth on the OL and the secondary. Believe it or not, this Redskins team is starting to come together.

Your list has one constant that all fans should be very pleased with, those listed players were obtained through the draft. This FO culture shift is key to our success for the future. We need to continue to scout hard and draft well, at the minimum you develop quality, affordable depth.

Don't associate smart fans with morons who believe any good acquisition going to lead to a superbowl appearance. The truth is we haven't had a good qb here in a very, very long time. That is the main reason we haven't been consistent on offense in a very long time. Qb is our biggest need going into this offseason. Rex sucks regardless of how much you try to redirect the blame.

I agree but we also need a #1 wr.

3. Roy Helu looks like he can contribute in the backfield. I'm still not sold on him being our featured back. The numbers are there but my personal philosophy likes consistency over 1-2 good runs a game that inflate the numbers (especially on 3rd and long draws), which I don't believe Helu is doing. But he looks good enough to contribute to our team for a while.




The fact that he's capable of those 1-2 good runs tells me plenty. You have to consider the run blocking for the reason you don't see consistency out of Helu.

exactly. Rex grossman is pathetic, period. Can he show capability at times? yes, but taking everything into account, the guy is the fukkin pits.

Truth is.....

Watching him play is like having someone shove bamboo shoots under your fingernails all while someone is scratching their nails on a chalkboard......

Grossman is far from pathetic, Beck is pathetic. Grossman is more frustrating than pathetic

Agreed.
