Reread what I said. I said I'm against trading picks (including any for Orton), but I'd rather trade a 3rd rounder for Orton than a 5th for Dixon given the option between the two.


I don't love Rexy, but he is what he have available to us at this point. I'm willing to bet you anything...scratch that, make it everything I own that says Rex would beat Dixon in a head on head competition. Rex has 2 years of experience in this system, Dixon would have 0. My guess is you probably thought McNabb was better than Rexy, but he proved some doubters wrong this past year. Rex is no more than a band-aid at the QB position until we can draft somebody to groom.

Clearly we want him cause he is signed. Even if he cant be on the field help beck out,but thats not the case. I would put money on it that dixon would do anything better than rex. so whats the dif between dixon and beck? dixon would be our best option ,if we didnt have to give up alot, 3rd for orton would be a bad idea. As for mcnabb he wasnt even givin a chance.

Dixon only won 2 games last year. And the 2nd was a gimme because he got injured in the first quarter of the 2nd one and Charlie Batch played the rest of that game. And in the first one he didn't even throw or run for a touchdown, the Steelers beat the Falcons 15-9 because Mendenhall had a 50 yard touchdown run in OT. Dixon may be good but face it, he's no sure thing either. He's spent 3 years as a backup in Pittsburgh and played in 1 1/4 games last year before he got injured and shut down for the season. And yeah, you pegged us, we love Rex Grossman because of his name, not because he's an okay quarterback.

Really? Care to explain? He's done more than John Beck who hasn't thrown a pass in 4 seasons. He showed some flashes while playing when Big Ben was suspended. He's super athletic and has a big arm, and good size at 6-3 210. We're bereft of talent at QB. Worth a 5th rounder? For sure.

Apparently you don't know how I feel about the "Athlete first" type of QB. I'd rather have a intelligent QB with less mobility than a super athlete that has problems reading defenses and making decisions.

i think that rogers talking all that crap he did a few months back,came back to haunt him.

Rumors heating up Re: Edwards 1 yr deal w/Skins. Per John Clayton. Speculation though.

Just to clarify, this is Clayton speculating this is what Edwards should take, not what he's been offered by the Skins.

Really? So lets see we've brought in 6 receivers *Edwards, Stallworth, Gaffney, Paul, Hankerson, Robinson* and two offensive lineman *Hurt and Chester* since the draft. Why do receivers need competition while lineman get more job security then a union man?

Stone hands is unbelievable

Bradshaw visiting cincy who just signed Benson for a year
