As for Rex, yes I believe a big part of touting Beck was a negotiating/motivating ploy toward Rex.

What I find curious is that Grossman turned down a longer term deal (I forget if it was here or elsewhere) for a short term deal. To me, that tells me that Rex believes he's going to start this year and have the opportunity to prove he deserves a long term contract.

But I mean if Beck doesn't start, what does that mean for him? Seems like this year is kind of make or break for his career, particularly as a starter.

It could possibly say something about Grossman's character. Perhaps he is making personal goals and beleives this is his last chance to make it in this league. And I think if Beck has a solid preseason it will be nice to know we have a decent backup. Plus, does Beck have a cult yet? Maybe he will get one of those too.
