I'm not against the idea, but I don't think it would be smart. I just don't know how much better Beck makes this team, if he does make them better at all. Pretty hard to justify a move like that with the team leading the division going into the bye.

That's how I feel about it. Thanks for saying is more pretty than I can.

It usually just comes out like, "Grrrrararrar F Rex Grossman!"

Exactly how I feel. Rex is a very average player at best, but does Beck really give us any better of a shot? We're 3-1. Benching Rex is a panic move. 3-1 teams that head into a bye week healthy and leading their division shouldn't panic.

I haven't been able to see the games so I don't know how bad Rex really looks. All I can see is his stats, which aren't great, but in the end, the only numbers that matter is the W-L record.

I say we just bring back Clemens and start him.. Who cares?

[Dirtbag59]

If you put Rex against Trent Cole and the Eagles you're asking for sack and strip fumbles. Granted Trent should be much better against him then Sam Baker but it only takes one play. I want the mobility of Beck especially with the running game coming on now. Bootlegs will be very deadly against an Eagles team that struggles stopping the run.

some of u guys act like Rex is a great QB.. He's not so why would we not bench him?

Actually it seems more like a fear of if Rex gets benched we can never go back to him. This isn't baseball people and like I've said since training camp, and many times today, the advantage of having two journey men QB's is you can bench one of them and not cause a huge S storm in the media. Sure we would love to have an actual franchise QB but the hand we got now gives us flexibility. I say we use it.

Dumb idea, and who cares about the media.

I think it was Bill Parcells who said if you think you have two quarterbacks, you don't even have one...something like that. You don't switch QBs unless there is a reason. 3-1 going into they bye leading your division with a QB that has decent but not outstanding stats is a move that will lose the team and probably more games than not in the future.

Rex is our guy unless he gets hurt.

That's a cliche and has little to do with our actual situation. Right now we're committing turnovers and we're not moving the ball through the air. I never understood why QB's are virtually immune from benching. Redskins were 2-0 with Doughty starting, and 1-1 with Landry starting. Should we bench Landry? I'm tired of hearing about QB records, all to often it's used as a justification for poor play.

Just look at the Titans without Vince Young. QB records only mean so much.

No, it just means that this game is about more than one player. We'll probably never find out for sure, but IMHO Beck isn't going to give this team more wins than Grossman will.

Should close this thread, it is comical that we are even talking about this.

KS needs to realize that Grossman and Beck are not great QBs and that our offense needs a running game.
