Rex Grossman's Three Game Audition

Armstrong was probably as shocked as anyone during that Giants game that he was hit in stride by Sexy Rexy.

Anyway maybe the context is wrong and you have a point that these are very general numbers. Still from what I can see over the course of 16 games we would be better off with Rex then we would be with McNabb, in spite of the turnovers.

Either way my wish remains the same. Find someone who can finish drives on their own

Also thanks for reading my post, I'm starting to get to the point where I'm rambling on and on while going in circles

My pleasure, good posts & thread. First off, I found McNabb & Grossman in b&g very weird. Would prefer not to have either one. In a perfect world, we'd already have a young qb we drafted to groom as starter. Of course, that isn't the case.

There are two things going for Rex IMO; his knowledge/experience of the offense, and his desire to become a starter & rebuild his career. Other than that, I don't see much upgrade w/Rex over DM.

McNabb may have just been too comfortable in Philly, might've taken some things for granted due to his experience w/the offense there. Coming into a new system wasn't something he'd done before. He seemed to have that 'old dog - new tricks' issue; kind of tried to get by w/what he's always done, but his age & flaws really showed at times.

What is unfortunate for him & the team is that IF he has any desire to prove people wrong & bounce back w/a Farve like comeback year (see 09), that the personal damage done at this point may have cut too deep to repair any relationship with the staff. If he goes somewhere else he will likely play w/a chip on his shoulder and have a good year. The opportunity to motivate him to do that in DC may be lost, but there's still a small chance Mike S. could smooth it over & bring him back.
