7-9 actually sounds good

Sorry, but I have to disagree...

The only record I'd hate worse is 0-16.

7-9 means we sucked bad enough to have no chance at playoffs AND also end up picking around 14-15.

Just my opinion... it means nothing... but I HATE 7-9.

Yep I refuse to root for losses but I think this win just guaranteed us another year of Rex at the helm.

Really? REALLY?

Being totally serious, really?



One win guarantees a qb who turns the ball over on average 2 times a game the starting job next season?

Seriously, really?

It was discussed for a whole segment on ESpn radio postgame, points were made that skins may have to settle for a middle of the road qb in the draft. This draft and offseason is going to be huge for Allen and the Shanaplan. But I am also nuttier than squirrel turds.

Count me in as another person who beleives Rex will start next season. I know its been discussed at length, but i believe Rex has to AT LEAST start the first few games next year while our QB of the future sits and watches.

As long as Rex is winning / playing good, there won't be a QB change. I know he is a turnover machine but the bottom line is this team just looks and acts different with Rex at QB. With McNabb, we flat out sucked. John Beck was simply helpless, the team could not do anything. At least with Rex we are competitive and "hanging in there" in big games. I think Rex will be signed to a 2 or 3 year deal for moderate money because the expecations will be that he will start Next year until the new QB is ready to take over. After that, he will be a a backup...

I don't think its a necessity that the rookie sits, depending on who we pick up. Newton didn't sit at all and he's a freak of nature.

I think if the FO is happy with mediocrity and thinks the rookie needs to sit and study, then yeah Rex starts next year. We won't suck, but we won't be good either and don't expect playoffs, expect another "rebuilding year". If the FO is willing to take the risk on the rookie, if all the other pieces of the puzzle are in place, then sometimes the best way to learn, is learning on the fly. The sink or swim method isn't always the worst way to go about things.

Um. No. Not as a starter at least. As a 2nd string? I'd be fine with that. But you know damn well if Shanahan kept Rex as a starter next season I think the fans would go down to the Redskins facility and threaten to burn the place down.

I really don't think Mike is that stubborn that he'd go against obvious, non-debatable, common sense. In this situation at least.
