Grossman is the starting QB. I guarantee it.

If you start Beck over Grossman you lose Grossman mentally.

He is a better QB than Beck right now. Everyone knows it. He knows it.

This is his last best chance to become a legit QB.

Beck is lucky to be on an NFL roster. Dude has done nothing in his career.

He would be thrilled to be the #3 QB on any NFL team. SURE he wants to be the man, but he will be happy to wait in line a little longer for his turn.

It's Rex's time to get that so called "last best shot."

You can easily bench Grossman and go with Beck during the year if things go South.

On the other hand Grossman will be furious if he doesn't get this opportunity going into his third year in this system.

Grossman looked good against the Steelers and the Ravens.

Beck looked terribly average against the backup Bucs.

Case closed.

Re: Grossman is the starting QB. I guarantee it.

Grossman also had the starting RB/WR in the game against Pitt for the first half when Pitt took their 1st team out after the 1st drive.

I don't really think anything is guaranteed at this moment. Beck and Grossman have both had their share of ups/downs, or did you forget about Grossman's 2nd half against the Colts?

I think Beck is still the starter for week 1. So I guess we will wait and see.. Beck is going to have ups/downs this season. Nobody is predicting him to come in and be the next Tom Brady or Romo. If Grossman is the starter, we all know what we get from him.

Re: Grossman is the starting QB. I guarantee it.

Beck is 30 he ain't waiting any longer and I'm not so sure Rex is better IMO. I think both are honestly about the same, 2 guys that won't be here very long.

Re: Grossman is the starting QB. I guarantee it.

Someone make an argument as to why I shouldn't merge this with the "who do you want to start at QB" thread.....

It's not going to be too long before the starter is announced and both threads become obsolete, so in the meantime we'll keep that discussion in one place.

But for the record I agree with you. Shanny rested his starting QB tonight, and Rex will start week one. That way should the wheels fall off the Grossman train, he can put in his pet project in Beck. If he starts Beck from the jump and he sucks, he looks less sharp as a HC for hitching so much of his giddyup on a 30 year old never-was...

I think Shanny just wanted to even the reps out, that's all. I didn't read anything into him starting Beck over Rex other than having equal amount of game film and reps to evaluate them respectively.

That said, I think he'll go with Beck for the very opposite reason you think he'll go with Grossman. I think Beck still has some upside and he hasn't mastered this system at all. If Beck fails, then he can defer to the crafty veteran on the bench, Rex Grossman. I think Beck will be the starter week one.

Re: Grossman is the starting QB. I guarantee it.

Seeing that Rex didn't play I would think he's the guy but we will see
