I get this bad feeling I watched the wrong Redskins game last weekend cause I'm totally suprised hearing people thinking Beck did well? He did no better then Grossman and committed the same mistakes. and the best answer to that is .."he did well for not having played in 4 yrs." Come on folks, unless I missed it he has practiced for 4 yrs and he has played in the preseason in the last 4 yrs and played rather well in our preseason games. He was not sitting on the couch at home waiting for a call, I'd definitly feel sorry for him if that was the case and probably feel like others feel that his outing was not too bad.
Lets call it what it is.... fans didn't like Grossman, didn't want Grossman, and found every reason in the book to blame the "teams" performance on him. Every single misque was Grossmans fault. Now that he's out, and the favoured QB (Beck) is in and the performance is exactly the same, fans come up with excuses.
"Oh, he was rusty"
"Oh, he was off balance"
"Oh, it was the WR's fault"
"Oh, the OL caused the fumble for not blocking"
"Oh, the WR's are dropping balls"
"Grossman did bad against bad or injured teams"
etc. etc.
Hello, Beck did just as bad, 1 INT (should have been 2) and 1 fumble. Against probably the worst defense.
Grossman is not the long term answer especially at 31yo. Beck having a similar outing against a bad defense is not the long term answer either at 30yo. So, if you want to start the young guns and see what they got and can do ya might as well throw in Jonathan Crompton at QB who's only 24. Lets see what he's got in order to decide if we definitly have to draft a QB next yr.

Can't agree w/much of your evaluation of Beck's game. His stat line of 1 interception is appropriate, since he got away w/one & then the one he threw was debatable as to whose fault it was. It evens out. F. Davis said a couple last week were his fault, but Rex had a couple that were dropped v. Philly, don't forget that.
Sure Beck didn't make all the reads well, but he made plays moving in & out of the pocket that Rex is almost entirely incapable of. He didn't lose this game & yes, he did have a few big drops by recievers that could've made it a different game.
I saw a QB sunday that was a pretty big upgrade to what we had before. He'll have his bad games, he's not a great qb by any stretch, but he gives us more of a chance to win.
