Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
I think Grossman will be the starter, why? If he's your guy how can you justify pulling him after only 5 games? Mike knew up front Gross was a turnover machine from the getgo and all the BS from Gross about turning a new leaf doesn't change that fact! 8 games as the starting QB and 19 turnovers can not be hidden from the light of day!
Mike can not afford to lose the locker room no matter what. When he does go to Beck it better be with the best possible chance for John to shine and there are some really tough games coming up for you guys. Thus making the wrong choice at this early stage could cost this team the whole season, whereas now, you still have a chance to win more than you lose. John will still get his chance cause Grossman will sooner or later stink the place up badly enought that even Moss won't be in his corner. Its at that point John has his best chance to not only win the starter's job but also make this team his, for the long haul! Remember both I and John Beck have seen this play out before, in 2007. I'm sure John does not want a repeat of that mess caused by a 1st year HC making a move fed only by fan pressure! Way to early and without proper preparation!

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
You have to make your opportunities and every time Beck gets a chance, whether with Miami or in camp competition with Rex, he hasnt made the most of those opportunities. Beck has had opportunities and hasnt stepped up, hopefully if he gets a 3rd opportunity this week he will finally make the most of it.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
Beck just got an opportunity as recently as two months ago.

I think Lavar makes the best argument for keeping Rex. Post Sports Live: Has the John Beck era begun? - The Washington Post
Just for the record, I want BECK! |

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
This thread is hilarious. Hearing support for Grossman and putting Becks on a pedestal. Our QB situation is truely inept and one of the worst situations in the league. Honest opinion from Grossman supporters, is it really taking a risk in starting Beck that crazy? Grossman is one of the worst rated QB in the league and his play is declining since the start of the season...how can people support this guy playing? Just baffled

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
18 turnovers for Rex in his 8 starts here. He's just killing us.

My point was not to put down Clausen to prop up Cam as some of you inferred. I am sorry if that is what you took from it. My point was we do not know what we have in Beck or any other Qb (Newton, Clausen, etc.) that has never played or played very little in the NFL. I was replying to those that implied Grossman = Beck, Beck = Grossman in ability. We still do not know what we have in Beck because he has yet to even start a regular season game for the Redskins. Much less has he started 5 or 10 games for us like Grossman has. We will soon see if Shanahan will allow it. I do not post on this sight much, especially on those threads that seek to demonize people and players. A bold opinion is one thing, but rushing to judgment on a player who has started 4 games in his career or has never played in the NFL and claiming to be something (great, bad, average) is premature. Tom Brady and Joe Montana were drafted and rated low. But they got their chance and made the best of it. I am NOT saying Beck will be the next Tom Brady. But lets see what we have.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
Rex sure isnt lighting things up but what happens if Beck goes in and stinks it up worse than Rex in the next 2 or 3 games? That would really paint Shanny into a corner. That is why I think Shanny wont be so fast to pull Rex because once he does he's played his hand and really limited his options.

We're not good enough to overcome 2 turnovers a game from our QB, not many teams are. Beck doesn't have to be spectacular to be an improvement over Rex. |

I'm getting emails that Beck is the starter. Waiting for sources.
