With that crappy avatar you chose, it's making it hard to read your posts with a clear head. Benching McNabb is making you switch your allegiances to a hated rival?

McNabb would probably make evaluation difficult, as his dirt balls and missed checkdowns results in missed player evaluations.

Re: Report: Grossman Starting on Sunday

If we had a good young QB to test drive I'd understand. But Grossman?

Another headscratcher personnel decision at the QB position by Shanahan.

There are people who echo what you're saying, people who maintain they would rather see John Beck because we haven't seen him in a real game. We've seen Grossman for several years now and the majority don't seem to be impressed with his abilities as an NFL quarterback.

Grossman won me a fantasy football title damnit!!!

One guy is impressed with Grossman's abilities...and his dad is the head coach.

Good Stuff SS....The photograph of Sammy Baugh is the way players outfitted when I first started watching the game. Think they would have anything to say about the kind of hits players take today? Hell, they didn't even wear face-mask's in those days.

Re: Report: Grossman Starting on Sunday

Please prepare for Jake Locker or Ryan Mallet next year.

Shanahan could target Locker
"It could be really interesting if one of the top three QBs is still sitting there when the Skins pick, no? I still think they'll take a WR (Justin Blackmon's an option) or trade down at this spot, as their needs are many, depth is light, and they aren't picking in the 3rd or 4th rounds. While Cameron Newton and Ryan Mallett are graded out to go in this area, word had it that coach Mike Shanahan was enamored with Jake Locker last year (when the Redskins had the 4th pick). This year, if he still likes Locker, they could trade down, add a pick, and still get him. He once made a similar move to get Mr. Jay Cutler."

I'd rather trade up somehow for Luck, or take Newton... I do NOT want Locker, I know that much.

I don't know that we have the luxury to trade up for Luck. I don't know what to feel about Newton. I don't think he fits this offense. But I'm telling you for 8 months now the name I constantly hear brought up is Jake Locker. That could all change of course but it really does seem to be the guy targeted by the Skins. I like him but I'm not gung ho on him. I think he may be a bit overrated.
