Start John Beck Madness Thread

[skinsguy]

I'm not completely happy with Rex Grossman, but the Redskins are 3-1. Maybe the bye week will help improve on some things Rex has been struggling with. I believe until the Redskins start getting on a bad losing streak, it's probably smartest to stick with Rexy.

I didn't you said he was the best...and is that really so great an accomplishment? That Beck can complete an awkward pass every once in a while?

More of an accomplishment then having an active QB who can't.

SS you shook your head and walked away. Back lol? It is ridiculous that this thread has 3-4 times more posts than the Studs thread.

In true SBF fashion I don't know when to shut up

The Studs thread and the Tony McGee thread need more love

Compromise. Change the direction of this thread from Grossman-Beck to the Romo fallout?

Quick someone break another one of Tony Romo's ribs so we have an excuse for his second half performance.

For everybody blaming Tony Romo today. You need to be looking at the atrocious play calling in the second half.

Dang it! and to think i waited all day to check this thread out!!

I don't think anyone thinks Beck is the answer but rather that Rex is not, so what could it hurt to see what Beck can do.

[53Fan]

Right now I'd rather see KS change some of the plays he calls than see a QB change.

I really don't care either way 53. In fact I think they should stick with Grossman all the way thru the season since he was made the starter but I would also would not be surprised or upset if the change was made.

I am actually interested to see how Beck would play to be honest. It's not like Grossman will be taking us all the way. He's already shown that he is very limited and inconsistent.

If anything, he will break our hearts post season at best.

I also have to say, whenever I hear that we shouldn't change QB "because we are 3-1" I cringe a little bit. This is the most ridiculous reasoning process in the world. It's a little like saying you shouldn't replace your spare tire because it is still getting you back and forth to work everyday. I am NOT saying that we should replace Rex, but what I am saying is that us being 3-1 is not a good reason to not replace Rex. No other position in football is afforded this luxury. It reminds me of Don Burgundy, whenever you started talking about how much he sucked, someone else would start talking about all the games he's won. If Jammal Brown had given up 7 sacks yesterday, we would be calling for his head regardless of what our record was. Whether you keep your job should be based on how you are playing, not what our record is. For me, the most basic fundamental of football is consistency. Rex doesn't have it. He is also relatively lazy IMHO.

While my spare tire may need replacing, it makes no sense to replace it (while in fact it is STILL holding up) with a tire that may be worse and has demonstrated some cause for concern in that area. I have nothing against either QB. Loved Beck first game....some cause for concern after. I think if our current "spare" completely blows out....you'll get our replacement....but until...3-1 is...fun (I like that)

[CapitalDefense]

We are winning with our running game and our defense.

We are winning with possibly the worst starting QB in the league.

We would be 4-0 without Rex starting these games, I believe that.

Rex is horrible. Whats is more horrible is him running on and off the field like a body builder with his hands clinched and thumbs pointing to the sky.

[SmootSmack]

Beck has accomplished absolutely nothing...NOTHING... to make one believe we'd be undefeated with him at QB these past four weeks. I mean fine, whatever, I suppose you can believe it but I'd be just as "right" in saying we'd be 0-4 with him at QB

[MTK]

Shanahan never shies away from making unpopular decisions or going against conventional thinking. If he thought Beck was the guy, he'd be in there already.
