John Beck Era Begins

[ashvirtually]

I don't think Rex sucks at all. I like him quite a bit. And that article is right - he is almost a very good QB. He was awesome in the game against the Giants, even with his turnover, and yeah, his comeback against he Cards was great.

But he is unequivocally prone to derping, and at the most inopportune times, and has an ass-headed way of not accepting responsibility for derping. Two of the INTs were on Davis but the other two were ALL on him. The INTs and the lost fumble against the Cowtards were ALL on him. He talks about his mistakes the same way he did in Chi-town - and unfortunately, we have a very good defense that doesn't always play a full four quarters of football so we can't expect it to keep us out of jams HE puts us in the way his old Bears D could.

If he didn't look exactly as he looked in Superbowl XLI and numerous times that season as he did derping the ball on the last drive against Dallas, or derping the ball the entire game against a horrible Rams D-line, or derping the ball against a vulnerable and beatable Iggles D racking up an astounding 4 INTs and making us look like the Keystone Cops, I would be against the move.

But it's still the same ol' Rex. He's thrown almost three times the picks in five games as Brady has in the same amount of games. He definitely needs a time-out.

Also, disagree with the author of that article and think if an epiphany was coming to him about how he plays, it already would have.

This is almost ten years of demonstrable, unequivocal behavior from Mr. Grossman. It simply is what it is. I don't know if this benching and embarrassment will do any good if getting the second chance and clean start itself failed to convict him to change.

And as far as Beck goes, I agree with the poster who said that inre: starting him, lesser known negatives definitely equals more positive.
