Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
 

i think its pretty clear not many fans thought campbell was going to win games for us but i think its pretty clear campbell would have been better than beck and rex whom shanahan brought in to replace him, thats kinda beyond argument i think, idk.

(i still think mcnabb wasnt all that bad, not 2nd and 4th worthy thoo . . .)

Admittedly, I do hold people to a unrealistic standard of understanding it on the first go(maybe because understanding some things come rather quickly for myself), and then I get frustrated and treat them poorly. I can't guarantee a complete 180 from that, but I'll make a concerted effort to get my point across better and not be such an ass to talk to.

If you want to deliver on the second point in bold, then try to refrain from making statements like the first one in bold.

My apologies, I did not intend it that way. It's an admission and diagnosis of myself. It is not meant to show that I am "top dog". I have met folks who are more brilliant than I, and despite my aura I have presented myself here, I actually consider myself [I]not[/I] that great of a mind.

If you don't want to believe me, that's ok. It's not like I can telepathically transport my thoughts.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
 

I actually feel more confident with Grossman than I do with John Beck playing quarterback. When the Redskins were down 13-9 and inside the Dolphins 20 yard line, Grossman threw a interception. Obviously, he didn't see Dansby drop back in coverage. But that play destroyed any chance the Redskins had of winning that game.

Lol wow. Well that was a fun read.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
 

time to try my new catch phrase,
"this triffles but matter not, for in the morning, comes andrew luck"

it's like the south park where kyle is trying to play badly, but the other team has practiced hard at sucking... we could be that other team.

Maybe Mike Shanahan should dial up Jake Plummer's phone number and talk him into coming out of retirement and playing for the Redskins...

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
 

I think Shanny has known from day one we do not have our starting QB to build around and there was no one Shanny wanted to go out to get. I mean he can't just come out and say that he has to support who we have on our team. I

The only actually intelligent and incisive thing you have said in the entire thread.

I cringe reading the way you torture the english language ... what did it ever do to you???

This response is meant to be purely descriptive. Any other effects are not intended

The written word was never my strength. Hence, what I think never gets across correctly. The analogy is trying to stuff a pinata with too much stuff.

Do you have a Rhodes Scholarship?

I do not know what that is.

I am simply taking measures to improve my communication here.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
 

I think your alright man but you really need to chill on the sophisticated stuff, that's what folks here get tired of not your points about the team but mainly the use of words you choose. Most of us want to chill and get away from all that and come here and talk football which you do as well I'm JS bro...

No, the analogy is someone mangling english and then insulting others for not understanding him.

It's pretty simple - The words you use don't mean what you think they do.

For what it's worth, I agree that cutting JC was the right thing to do. The Shanny's were convinced he couldn't do what they wanted. However, in saying that, they should have been equally convinced that McNabb, Beck & Grossman couldn't do it either.
