in other words, let's just defer this decision to the coaches lol

SFREDSKIN · 09-01-2011, 10:22 PM

let's wait and see what happens in the 2nd half.

Someone make an argument as to why I shouldn't merge this with the "who do you want to start at QB" thread.....

Swarley · 09-01-2011, 10:23 PM

you should

Alvin Walton · 09-01-2011, 10:23 PM

Its definitely looking like Grossman at this point.
Thats what I wanted before the preseason started anyways.

skinsfaninok · 09-01-2011, 10:23 PM

Seeing that Rex didn't play I would think he's the guy but we will see

Because everyone can make fun of me when I'm wrong. (:

And I'm not some Noob who just starts thread willy nilly. (:

I got nothing.

He could of not played because Beck didn't play the first game?

Who knows at this point lol.

This just in John Beck will be named starter for Giant game. Coach If I Tell You, I'd Have To Kill You has inadvertently given it away. A tie goes to the Kid, unless the Bucs B team forces him to play poorly. - Riggins

Don't know what source he has as I can't really agree at this point. I want it to be Beck, but after tonight showing who can tell?

It's not going to be too long before the starter is announced and both threads become obsolete, so in the meantime we'll keep that discussion in one place.

But for the record I agree with you. Shanny rested his starting QB tonight, and Rex will start week one. That way should the wheels fall off the Grossman train, he can put in his pet project in Beck. If he starts Beck from the jump and he sucks, he looks less sharp as a HC for hitching so much of his giddyup on a 30 year old never-was...

I wouldn't put too much stock in tonight. I believe the decision has already been made.

NYCskinfan82 · 09-01-2011, 10:38 PM

We can't seem to get by 17 points.

Yup. Rex, along with many of the other starters, sat on the sidelines tonight.

SirClintonPortis · 09-01-2011, 11:02 PM

Rex wins the competition, if it were me making the decision.

average QB A vs average QB B isn't nearly as exciting as the local sports media is making it out to be (or, rather, isn't a story worth nearly as much press as it's been given).

I disagree with this statement. Here is why. Average QB A vs average QB B is better than Donoflab McDirtballer. I think it is worth the press because it is a positive for once. An improvement if you ask me. To back up my feeling I have put together a Warpath exclusive. Enjoy...
