See I don't have a problem with people saying Grossman had 8 games lets give Beck 8 games. Fine. and that might be simply how you feel. But the people I don't get are the Beck is better then Grossman when Beck has not even played but 1 game for us. Clearly one would need 8 games to get an honest opinion of him vs. finger pointing at one and making excuses for the other when statistically the numbers are similar.

People didn't like Grossman because he has atleast 2 turnovers a game. Beck just had a game with 2 turnovers and reasonably should have been 3. People say we know what we got in Grossman, and honestly we really don't. The coaches know what they got in Grossman and they know what they got in Beck. I'm hedging two very similar stat wise QB's talent wise with the difference being ones mobile and ones not. and I'm not saying both are the same but one is more mobile, I'm saying Becks mobility is off set by Grossmans ability to change plays or ability to know where to go with the ball. Basically all things balance out. If people said Grossman or Cam Newton I'd totally agree with you that he's by far a more talented QB over Grossman and is mobile.
Wait, who is saying Beck is "better" than Rex? I must have missed something b/c what I have been seeing is people saying - "Well, Rex played true to form and stunk it up; Maybe Beck will show he has actually learned something sitting on the bench. He is unlikely to be any worse than Rex".

Sorry a big "LOL" @ "Grossmans ability to change plays or ability to know where to go with the ball." - Sorry, when I watched Rex, I was constantly screaming "The ball goes to the guys in Burgundy - IN BURGUNDY!!!" He seemed to have difficulty grasping this at times.
