On what, specifically, are you basing this assessment? The guy hasn't played enough, and in critical situations, for you to haphazardly toss out a statement like that without any detail.
What I saw from Grossman this game was a mirror image of every mality he possesses creeping up in the same game. He fumbled twice. I know the stats say once, but let's be honest. He takes too long to come off his first read, and in the process throws an interception on a underthrown pass in to the belly of Sean Lee because he didn't have space for his necessary hitch step. When he's flushed out of the pocket he looks like an oscillating fan searching for pressure instead of maintaining focus, keeping his eyes down field, and making a clutch improvisational play. At one point, during the game deciding fumble scramble, he actually slows down and looks at the sideline. (And I'm making a play for a new nickname for Grossman, "Tyrannosaurus Rex", because of his short vestigial arms, and the fact that he should have been extinct ages ago)There are obviously many more deficiencies in his game, but I could be here all day listing them.
Regarding Beck, from what I've recognized, which clearly has its limitations, he keeps his head up, eyes down field, works through his progressions quickly, senses blitz (as opposed to looking for it), he can glide away from pressure, he's mobile outside of the pocket, he's decisive when confronted with the prospect of free running real estate, his ball is sharp and has volocity, and most importantly Kyle seem to call a different game when Beck is under center. Or atleast you see more opportunities to stretch the field. But if you need someone to throw INTs, lose you games by fumbling away the ball in clutch situations, I'm sure he'd be willing to do that too, if you asked nicely. The dude deserves a shot.
