And finally, heaven help us when our coach (or any coach) makes a decision based on what the fans want

John Fox with Tim Tebow.

Hell Yea!!!! It made the loss a little better. I wanted to see the Giants go down but 1 out of 3 ant bad.

They're backing a teammate who is the incumbent starter. That's what you'd want your players to do.

I agree that you would want your players to do that, and they are...what a difference a couple years makes.

I wouldn't expect anyone to publicly call for Beck over Grossman, but I have to believe that there is a growing majority that is thinking that there should be a change.

I didnt get to watch any of the game but look what an olineman does to London Fletcher, Holy Crap!!! Did they do that to the skins all day?? And he goes after him again in the last second of the video, a loss is one thing but getting out hit is unacceptable!!!!

Kyle Orton, for as well as he played in the preseason, was playing horribly during the regular season and was getting worse. And that is why Fox pulled him

And apparently put him on the trading block, too? Wow. I agree with you, though. Kyle Orton is a slow boat to nowhere.

Look. The guy threw 4 INTs. That makes 9 in the past FOUR games, 11 turnovers in the last 5 games overall and he should have at least 13-14 if not for some ridiculous Carlos Rogers-esque drops. Those that are arguing about who is responsible for what interception are missing the point, the bottom line. He is the field general, the signal caller, the top guy. He is the last person to touch the ball before it lands in a defenders hands, period. Why do we never hear about other teams quarterbacks and who is responsible for their interceptions? Probably because the rest of their play is up to snuff, at least to overlook a few missteps and chalk it up to a learning experience. If history is any indicator at ALL, this is not the case with rex grossman, period. This guy stays on the roster only because of the fact that we need bodies in case our other quarterback goes down in case of an injury. We have BARELY gotten by several talent challenged teams and eeked out our wins. This has to stop now.


The Washington Redskins have enough to contend with within their own conference, rather than having to fight out of every horrible situation that Rex Grossman puts them in every game. You can't go into a boxing match with handcuffs and a blindfold on, and that is what we are doing when we go into a game with Rex grossman behind center.

True, Im sure the Jaguar message board is blowing up about the way their ROOKIE quarterback has thrown 2 interceptions in 5 games. edit... (sorry, he's played 6)

Great job, I could not agree with you more,,,I would rather see Beck make the mistakes then watch Rex make the same mistakes he has always made.
