Like you, I'm convinced the added talent should help his statistical progress as well as his decision making. The one thing that has been troublesome about Rex has been his propensity to turn the ball over at the most critical times and usually with disastrous results.

We say that of course because hanging onto the football has been an issue for him throughout his career. Grossman played in four games total for Washington last season and committed eight turnovers. In his last 36 games dating back to his Super Bowl season in 2006, Rex has been known as TO-Rex, giving up the ball 51 times (37 interceptions, 14 lost fumbles) in a total of 36 contests with the Bears, Texans and Redskins. A trend us skins fans desperately want to see broken.
