A horde of desperate fans.

I think that's risky as hell and would be much more confident in a savvy, even surly lol, vet starting while our big gamble grows into the world, league, offense awhile. Problem is...who's that vet?! Probably Rex is that guy because we're not likely to spend our first pick and big FA money on QBs at the same time. Plus that new QB would be learning the system from the beginning (just like the rookie), so we'd be at an even bigger risk than with Grossman.

Moral of the story, Grossman is our QB for the time being...as...long...as...Mike's...here!!

I have more confidence in at least three available veteran coaches currently unemployed and at least that many coordinators who are probably a big part of the NFL through the rest of my lifetime.

I think that Luck and Barkley are the complete list of QB prospects who could start right away. That's why I think we may trade up for Barkley. If St. Louis finishes with the second worst record, we've got a chance to land him.

I want the Skins to keep Rex as a backup and I think he's a solid backup. Rex may even start the season next year if our (supposed) rookie phenom isn't quite ready. But, by now, we should all recognize that he's not likely to be an NFL starter much longer.
