Redskins vs. Jets Game Thread

REDSKINS4ever · 12-08-2011, 12:55 AM

I was watching the first Redskins game of the year against the Giants on DVD today. Rex Grossman played his best game of the season in that game. He started off slowly, but got into a rhythm and was very sharp for the most of that game.

That said, the Giants have a great defense. But Grossman played well in that game, and he's struggled against lesser defenses as the season has gone on. Why is this? Why is this man so inconsistent? Grossman even said that when he was in Chicago, he was a gunslinger which led to a bunch of interceptions. Then with the Redskins, he claims to be more disciplined because Kyle Shanahan's offense requires that from the QB and Grossman even said that Kyle's offense suits him perfectly.

But yet, he's thrown 10 TDs against 15 INTs for just over 2,000 yards with a passer rating of 69.8. Just awful and pitiful.

With all that said, I can't begin to see how Jonathan Crompton or any other practice squad QB could play any worse than Grossman has played this season.

I could throw numerous factors or excuses as to why Grossman started out the season so well and then fell off. Feel free to accept whichever ones you like.

1. The whole team had a quiet confidence comming out of the preseason. Grossman especially, he out right took the starting job from Beck.
2. The starting offensive line was in tact and providing better protection.
3. It was a division game.
4. Since it was so early in the season teams had not had a chance to scheme us yet.
5. The lack of offseason worked out more in our favor than it did for other teams.
6. Grossman was not comming off of a game where he had thrown a couple of INT's and/ or gotten benched.
7. He had more than 2 recieving threats on the field at the same time.
8. Tim Hightower was passblocking on third down's
9. The Giants were missing most of their starting defense.
10. Grossman just had a good day.
