Personally if that did happen I don't think it would last too long, mainly because for all the ints that have been receivers fault, Grossman's personal ints have been just as bad if not worse. I'm fine with going with Beck from this point on, but you never know what our coach is thinking.

That's totally absurd. I don't think any coach would ever openly tell a QB and all his teammates that this is the QB's last chance. What the hell would that do to a locker room? Sheesh.

Maybe Brian Billick would? I don't think I would do it, because as a coach you're opening up yourself to all kinds of hypothetical scenarios which might possibly not be beneficial, but you never know. But then again, I don't have eyes and ears inside the locker room, so I wouldn't have an idea of how this will proceed.

My gut instinct is that they'll go with Beck, because Grossman has been on a steady decline since his game against the Giants, and it's clear he's still the same quarterback he's always been, whereas Beck has apparently played better in practice (according to Mike Shanahan) and didn't look as bad as Grossman in the game.

Yeah I agree here. Not only that, but Shanny would not undermine his own ability to make a decision by influence of the mere preference of "teammates fighting for Rex to stay"

Not only would he disrupt the locker room but also loses the respect of every player on the team and his credibility as a HC.

Shanny would never do such a foolish thing. He will make the call but it will be by his own discretion.

We should have grabbed Vince Young when we had the chance.

No, not at all. If we truly want to win this season get Carson Palmer. The Bengals are ready to deal. VY is a headcase. He can't make the adjustment from God at Texas to just a NFL starting QB. In saying this, I am not saying I want Palmer, just saying if you want a real franchise type QB NOW get Palmer. Young is a wash in my book. Yeah, you can get him cheap, but he would be another McNabb at best.

Carson Palmer is not going to be an upgrade IMO.He wasnt that good last yr and to bring him off the street with no training camp and think he's going to be better than what weve got doesnt make sense to me,but i dont want to argue about it,just my opinion

LOL, please don't tell me people are still chanting the Young name? I was suprised at all the Young fans here who wanted the team to pick him up and thank god we didn't because just look how bad he is. Two times he was put in the game and he sucked. I have an Eagle fan I work with who is bad mouthing Young because he sucks.

I'm not a Palmer fan and really don't think he's much better then Grossman or Beck but trading this late in the season? he wouldn't be worth a start until next year after he's had time to digest the scheme and play calls.

Beck, naturally. Better the devil you don't know than the one you do? Sounds good to me.
