The Shanahans are going to have egg on their faces in a matter of weeks.

I must have missed something -- where is Beck flapping his mouth? He has come out and said that he hasn't done anything and needs to prove himself before he can be considered a legitimate starter.

Rather its Shanny and his son who are praising him to the heavens

If Shanny picks Beck and fails he will get more criticism than if he picks Grossman and fails. MS is going to get driven out of town because of Beck.

But regardless of the pick we might have a QB change early in the season. We are playing the Giants, Cardinals, Cowboys and Rams starting the season up until the bye. Very easily could go 0-4 or at least start out 0-3. Oh and we play the Eagles after the bye.

Shanahan coached teams usually come out of the gate well. It would be a very bad sign if they were 0-4 going into the bye week.

It's time to start Ben Chapple. He's been denied for too long.

I thought so too at one point, but we need him at DB

See he gets asked questions and the fact he answers them annoys people. Let's forget the fact he plays the highest profile position in sports, a position that along with the head coach is often the go to person for interviews. What a jerk.

[rbanerjee23]

Matty, don't you realize? He should refuse to answer questions because of his lack of a resume. He should be like, for every touchdown I throw, I'll answer three questions but right now I am not worthy of the press attention.

Jason Reid Was Right: There Is No QB Competition In DC--The Job Belongs to Rex Grossman Though, Not John Beck - Hogs Haven

More and more I am convinced that Grossman will start for us on opening day -- not John Beck.

I'm not so sure, but that article was borderline awful. IMO

Nowhere Cuz Rex is the qb.
