Good catch. Here was his actual entire quote:

"Yeah, that's my goal," Grossman said. "I wanna start in this league at some point and get back there and play. Every quarterback that plays in the NFL wants to start, so that's kind of an odd question, I guess. But I definitely think I can and I've got a lot of confidence in myself, and hopefully this is a stepping-stone to the second half of my career."

Unless Grossman has lost all confidence in himself, why wouldn't he think he has a chance to start? He has accomplished a hell of a lot more than JC.

I think the most important part of the article was that he said the coaches have not made any promises to him.

Sounds about right.
