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.

Cowboys Game

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.

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.

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.

I saw more bad offensive line play in those videos than I did bad QB play.

Thing is when you throw 44 times your going to have breakdowns in protection. It's much easier as a defensive lineman to not worry about defending the run (or as we called it in High School, "the fun"). Thats also part of the reason we had so many sacks as Kyle loved to/had to throw the ball around. If the Skins want to improve this year they absolutely have to improve the red zone offense.

Any QB will put up yards in this offense, both McNabb and Grossman proved that, what we need to find out is how to make those yards turn into Touchdowns.

Of course I don't know how much Kyle is to blame, the defense was plenty bad this year and from what I can tell Kyle didn't usually become pass happy until the second half, mainly because we were giving up so many points. I think he had a similar situation in Houston with their struggling Defense.

Ironically picking Kerrigan and Jenkins might have improved our O-Line as an improved defense means more flexibility in second half playcalling (ie not abandoning the run because you're down by 2 or 3 scores).

I still maintain that the O-Line could use an upgrade but I seriously don't believe they deserve anywhere near the amount of blame they got this past year.

Here look at this as I channel my inner G-Tripp:

2009: 20th in Pass Attempts with 533. 46 Sacks (Tied 4th Worse)

2010: 4th in Pass Attempts with 605. 46 sacks (5th Worse)

Believe it or not the O-Line is improving.

Then again there is a sobering stat.

Houston 2009: 4th in Pass Attempts with 593, 25 Sacks (5th Best)

Nevertheless it's still progress

Then why did the team not draft to improve the OL? You would think the FO believes that overhauling the WR corps is gonna automatically make this offense better.

This makes so much sense. I just hope you're right. The lockout isn't helping though.

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.
