I hate it when posters refer to themselves in the third person

Beck's mobility is also such a huge addition from what we've had. Let's hope he takes off running early and often (and slides safely too!) so defenses will have to keep in honest about covering the field. If the downfield targets ain't open...run for a few yards and I bet the targets start to open up!

...I think all defenses get pissed when a QB picks up yardage w/ his feet. It's the perfect "gotcha" play.

Johnny5Dicky can't believe it.

The good news is if the receivers lay an egg there's always T.O who's 100% now and ready to play. lol.

Minnesota needs a receiver.

^ true. and if Armstrong is not healthy or start producing more and the 2011 drafted WR's don't step up.... we may be in need of him also.

You do realize the post you quoted was a joke.

That said - ain't no mod like GMScud Mod. SS is all hype and fluff, ain't like he works for a major sports entertainment company and all that!

Yes i got the joke. We are still joking about it above.

I've heard that some of the players were publicly backing Grossman. I can think of Fred Davis and Santana Moss as specifics. Do you think some of the players might sand-bag Beck a little bit at first or do you think that kind of stuff doesnt happen in the NFL anymore...

I feel like they were doing what they're supposed to do as professional, back up the guy to the public regardless of if you think he's good or bad. I think it'd be awful for the locker room if you just threw your QB under the bus to the media.. Remember what happened when Portis decided to bad mouth Sellers? I'm hoping they decided to back Grossman just due to trying to keep drama to a minimum.

I think all the players want what's best for the team... At least I'd hope so.

What happens if the players jumped on the Beck bandwagon and MS came out Wed. and said Grossman was starting this week? All the players who mentioned it were asked by the media, in other words they were goaded into an answer so they gave a politically correct answer. That way if Beck got the call and starts and is bad and needs to be replaced by Grossman there will be no locker room issues.

mlmpetert · 10-19-2011, 10:10 PM

^ Yeah i think that although it comes across to us as the players want Grossman and not Beck, it may be more like they think Grossman wasnt given a fair chance and that the situation is unfair no matter who the starter is. So its not that they necessarily prefer catching passes from one player over another. Theyre just trying to be diplomatic, no chance it causes any players to treat Beck differently then how they otherwise would. Ill also add i think several players were outspoken about the benching of McNabb

SirClintonPortis · 10-19-2011, 10:21 PM

If I recall correctly, Moss came to JC's defense as well(not because of being benched, though).

Moss was easily Rex's favorite receiver so I can understand why he would stick up for him, still it was one of those keep it to yourself type situations.
