Now that's a bold proclamation.

Nothing wrong with being confident as the starting QB... even believing that you can win the division with the team you have. But I don't think the Skins are at a point where Rex can start making bold proclamations to the media. What happened to one game at a time? The media does what it does, fans extrapolate their own meaning and then it gets blown out of proportion.

It wasn't a bold proclamation, it's not like he held a press conference and came out and said guess what bitches, we're the team to beat this year. All he was doing was expressing confidence in his team. A harmless comment that in this day and age, gets blown up into something entirely different.

Thank god we have some real football coming up.

I don't think Twitter constitutes a press conference either... but we see where that's gotten athletes.

He made this comments when he was being interviewed by my wife Kelly Johnson.

I know... I made an earlier comparison with Twitter and how both are pretty benign in nature... But when it comes to celebrities (especially athletes), certain quotes will take on lives of their own.

I mean, look at how much ridiculous blather Rex's (out-of-context) quote has caused? Dammit, I'm even still talking about this lameness.

He's supposed to say he's not confident at all and is considering faking an injury so he doesn't have to play with such mediocre talent, and also that it won't matter if he plays anyways since the team is destined to land a top 3 pick, which will be used on a new quarterback, thus making him irrelevant. He's also supposed to acknowledge that the media is always right in their predictions and the season has already been doomed to failure even though a single game hasn't even been played.

If he had just stuck with that script everything would've been fine. Optimism isn't allowed when you're universally acknowledged as a bad team.
