I think you guys have to think beyond the box here. Remember, McNabb was Allen's pick, not Shanahan's. Mike went along with it because we had no other options. Now that we have seen what Donovan has done to us in most of his starts, the head coach is right in wanting to see what Rex has. I don't want to experience what the Eagle fans had to endure during McNabb's tenure.

I am not placing blame for the latter, but a coach can not be that patience with mediocrity performance from your starting QB. Thank the football gods we have finally got a coach that will call it like he sees it.

Rex did well yesterday, but it was one game so I would not get too excited about it.

Why was this a blunder? Other then the benching him in the Lions game benching him now is fine with me and after yesterday looks like the right decision. As far as picking our starting QB I'd rather guess that after the last game of the season.

I wish there was some way to get Matt Schaub here with Kyle again.

I am hoping that it will be a Luck or Locker or Mallet but am thinking it will be someone who is a backup/borderline starter for another team right now.

Grossman will be going into year 3 in this offense, I think he can get us by in the short run until a rook is ready. Beck will be back as the #2.

I agree with this but don't look forward to a season with Rex as the starter.

Mike Vick.......... I bet it all on him! Unless we can draft Cam Newton!

I dont think Rex is signed for next year so if he lights it up during his audition as a Skin he could be a hot free agent. If that happens is Rex someone the Skins would want to get into a bidding war for?

I doubt 'Rex Grossman' and 'hot free agent' would ever be used in the same sentence unless he gets a divorce and he's featured in some strange cougar publication.

That being said, I think we're brining Rexy back (YEAH). The Shanahans don't know how to act (YEAH). Sorry, too much sugar this morning so I was channeling Timberlake for a second.

In all seriousness, Rex likely will open at starting QB in '11. I expect us to draft a QB with our 1st round pick but only after trading down at least once. The smart money is on Locker being the pick-although I don't really love that choice because he's got some serious question marks based on his '10 season.

We can probably recoup our 4th by dealing McNabb so if we can trade down, pick up a third, recoup our 4th then going QB in the 1st round won't be a bad move at all since this is a weak draft for OL.

HOLY HELL..........bidding war for Rex Grossman??
Makes me want to take a shower......

I hope it's Luck but I am going with Locker because I don't think we can pull off the trade up for Luck. Then again since the question is opening day it could be Rex keeping the seat warm for locker, but I said Locker because the thought of opening the season with Rex as the starter turns my stomach.

I voted Locker, as Smoot keeps saying the shannys dig him alot. Hopefully, this will be the final year we have a draft pick this high in the 1st round, so this is the ideal time to draft a franchise QB.Right now, i'm assuming we have a draft pick no lower than 7, and, if we took a qb that high in the draft, he'd be expected to start opening day.

Although Rex seems like the safe pick, I also think he's in a position to make him the #1 FA QB available. That said, I don't think any team will break the bank for him, so if we want to, we should be able to resign him.

Personally, i think we should trade whatever we have to to get Luck. Seriously, the dudes going to be one of the best QBs ever. I'd trade our 1st and 2nd this year, plus our 1st rounders the next two years to move up 5-6 spots to get him.

I don't think we would have to give up that much to get him would we? Something like this year and next years first rounder should do it though. Also I think he has a very good chance to be a good QB, but to say a college sophomore is going to be one of the best QBs is a little over the top. Unless there was some sarcasm I was missing?
