Rex Grossman's Three Game Audition

[Dirtbag59]

I'll use this thread to post each of Sexy Rexy's 3 starts from this past season. Besides Rex is too awesome not to have his own 2011 thread. Everyone knows that he's the real starter.

Update: Cowboys game is now available.

Rex Grossman Week 15 vs Cowboys 2nd Half

Honestly Rex played better than I thought but im
Still in favor of JB if we even go that route. VY is my first choice

I don't know who my first choice is but after getting a refresher course in both Beck and Grossman I'm convinced now more then ever that they need to bring in Young for competition. Even if he has a blow up in the media. Shanahan's history suggest we'll be fine with Beck or Grossman but now I want to make absolutely sure.

Either way Grossman is clearly the best passer that...we have access to, only thing that gets in the way are these pesky fumbles weather they be from Rexy or other guys like Moss, but mostly Rexy.

The last thing we need is another head case like Young. Why would you want a QB when his current coach said if he stayes he will leave? Makes no sense unless your looking for someon that can hang around with Fat Albert.

Because I'm afraid that not doing anything could easily lead to a situation only marginally better then Derrick Anderson and Max Hall. I mean don't get me wrong my mind changes on this every other minute, and Grossman in this system is certainly better then Derrick Anderson.

Still Young is easily one of the top physical specimens at the QB position today along with Vick, Newton, and Locker and we saw how giving a talented QB a chance paid off for the Eagles. We do not have a settled enough QB situation to just shrug off someone as talented as Young. Right now Young is the best combination of price, talent, potential, and hunger. Remember his feud in Tennessee started because he wanted to play hurt. Haynesworth on the other hand only wanted to play in nickel packages.

Besides comparing the problems with Young and Haynesworth is apples to oranges. Haynesworth is a true head case with serious issues. I'm not really scared anymore of bringing in Young because if/when we do he won't have a contract that makes him unmovable and above all I think Young himself is a good person thats simply had issues with depression.

Either way we'd be bringing him into compete and with our situation we don't really have that much to loose.

i dont rate vince young very highly at all. id honestly be upset if we brought him in. i just dont think hes a good nfl qb. id be happier with hasselbeck than him.

Hasselbeck is solid, very solid. But I'd prefer not to sign anyone over 35. Especially, not at QB. We need youth there

I'm pretty convinced our long-term solution at QB (if we ever get one) isn't currently on our roster and won't be at any point in the 2011 season. So why not bring in VY? He's young, he's shown pro-bowl caliber flashes at times, and he'd come on the cheap.

At the end of the day, I think Beck, Young, and Grossman will never be more than average NFL starters.

I wish we had used one of those mid-late round picks on a guy like Ricky Stanzi. I'd rather have him on the roster as a 5th round pick than a Dejon Gomes.

I really wish they had drafted a QB for the future, start Grossman to begin the year and then by week 3 or 4 promote the rookie.

I watched these last week sometime, but didn't get a chance to comment so here goes.


I thought Rex's accuracy was amazingly good, and it seemed like he could pretty much make all the throws. Many of those passes he made do not get completed if McNabb is back there. It's exactly why Rex looked so much better than McNabb in running the offense.

The biggest flaw I see in Rex is that his pocket awareness is horrible and he doesn't do a good job of securing the ball. Also, I noticed a few of his balls batted down. Possibly his height playing a factor?


This was brilliant Dirtbag...lol




*hats off*

Did anyone realize that Grossman is 24-14 as a starter? For all that talk of Vince Youngs winning record it's a wonder how Grossman goes overlooked.

How can you have a "Winnepeg Jets" in your custom header. Don't you realize that I'll have to travel to Raleigh to see the Caps live? So insensitive. Thank goodness for the new Mod...whatever his name is.

Disgusting. A QB (Mallet) should've been drafted.

I wouldn't say that. On one hand people throw out the "serviceable" label way to often, however I do feel that Grossman is the very definition of serviceable. He certainly can throw the ball around and can easily get you 250 yards in the air, problem is like Beck he's relatively short so a lot of his passes get batted down and he fumbles a lot a la Vick.

Personally right now I like him better then both Young and Beck, but I also like the upside of Young and Beck better. Either way I think they need to make sure that Grossman comes back.
