Re: Who do you want to start at QB?

McNabb threw 14 touchdown passes in 13 games, Grossman 7 in 3. With more added weapons to the offense(Hightower, Gaffney), along with the development and familiarity with Armstrong and Austin will only make him more productive. I think Beck should be put in if we can't protect Grossman and we do need someone more fleet at foot, because that's all Beck's got on the gunslinger himself, mark of the Red8, a one Rex Grossman the savior of D.C.

Gaffney is a very underrated receiver that does everything right, and sorry for all the Grossman praise but I have a gut feeling that the Redskins success will mold together with him under center.
I think this Grossman-Gaffney familiarity is just a teensy bit overblown.

Redskins should have drafted both Grossman and Gaffney instead of that inaccurate loser Patrick Ramsey and Taylor Jacobs or whoever they got in 2003. Spurrier's offense would have been way better with Rex pulling the trigger.

Ten observations: Ravens 34, Redskins 31 | John Keim | NFL | Washington Examiner

2. Apparently ESPN’s Jon Gruden was raving about Beck on TV and proclaimed him his day one starter. He also apparently raved about Beck’s interview. Here’s the thing; Gruden doesn’t do that if he’s not hearing something elsewhere. Like from the head coach. I’ve talked to a few people who have said that Mike Shanahan has told them he thinks Beck is better than Rex Grossman. And Gruden would have been in a production meeting with Shanahan the other day. Wonder if the QB topic came up. What do you think?

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?

The qb battle is a draw, but Jonny5 reminds me of the guy from NO that defended CP to the hilt last year. It's fun to watch the unrelenting support, and yet so hard not to get drawn into the conversation.

Yeah and once they're proven wrong, you never hear from them again.

Probably because he's plotting his return for when Tortis (trademarked by Chico) proves Redskins wrong for cutting him. IN the meantime....

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?

After last night's performance the quarterback competition looks even to me. Both quarterbacks proved they can move the offense. I like Beck because he more mobile. I respect the opinions of Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski. Chucky and Jaws liked Beck as well.

Yeah I don't think much changed based on last night. And I think the coaches already have their minds made up anyway.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?

Oh you'll hear from me, I've been a Rex supporter since he came in the league in 2003. And about Clinton Portis, Redskins fans shouldn't ever bash him because he was one of the only good parts of this offense for the past 6 years. It's a shame he couldn't have a quarterback like Rex Grossman taking the pressure off of him. I know what I'm talking about, I don't care what you think Matty, I know for a fact Rex Grossman will be a difference maker for the Washington Redskins in 2011.

Right back at ya.

You still haven't answered me, along with 4 picks and 4 fumbles that's not an acceptable amount of turnovers in 3 games. That doesn't concern you at all? He's always had a history of coughing it up. During his "magical" SB run he fumbled 8 times, losing 5 of them, along with 20 picks! C'mon man. Get off the Rex juice for a second and talk some reality.
