Really? Like really really? I like Grossman over Beck this season, but I can't remember any season where Grossman deserved to be mentioned in the top 3 quarterbacks in the league. Top 16? Maybe. Top 10? No. Top 5? Hell no. Top 3? Maybe in the top 3 of quarterbacks who last name rhymes with Boseman.

I don't think you read his post right

I like Rex. I think he beats John Beck out, and I actually think he plays well if he's given the opportunity. I love Beck's heart, but I think Rex is going to beat him out just due to familiarity and being able to hit the deep stuff on a regular basis.

I like him though. (How you can tell someone is relatively new to football; they're willing to give Rex a chance.)

Rexy is a solid fall back plan. I think Shanahan wants Beck to win the job though, whether he actually does is yet to be seen.

Anything I can do to get better.

Naw, it was my fault, I forgot to put "worst" in original post. I literally updated that post while you were posting, I could tell by the time you posted.

I've watched the Cowboys, Jags and Giants games a few times this offseason and Rex has a really good grasp of Kyle's offense. He needs to correct three things: holding on to the ball too long, late passes to the flats (3 of his 4 INT last year) and protecting the ball in the pocket. If (big IF) he can suppress his HTM-Human Turnover Machine-tendencies he can be a competent QB for us. I'd give him a 3 win advantage over Beck with this team.

If Grossman were to win the QB competition and be named the starting QB, there are three things I'd like to see him improve upon:

(1) Completion Percentage:
(2) Protecting The Football In Traffic:
(3) TD To INT Ratio:

Providing he could improve those three areas, on a scale of 1-10 I would give him a 5 1/2. The three games Grossman started last season against the Cowboys, Jaguars and Giants, he was 70 of 127 for 840 yds. an average of 280 yds. a game. Imagine what his passing totals would be if he could improve on his comp. pct. In this offense you're looking at a guy capable of passing for 4,400 + a season.

I find it hilarious that you are posting in one thread about our QB being top 3 worst at his position, with no stats to back it up, yet in another thread are pumping up a CB (d hall), who statistically has rated as one of the worst CBs in the league, as one of the "better CBs in the league".

The logic on some fans is mind boggling.

I said "AT ONE TIME", meaning that one year he had that horrible year with the Bears.....read 1st before you start speaking on someones logic....

And I guarantee you more then half the teams in the league would GLADLY take DeAngelo over their current starting CB.

MR. GM, WHO DO YOU WANT US TO REPLACE DEANGELO WITH???

Well he's good enough to play for Shanahan Mr. Cafeteria fan. I know that wasn't your point, but you are becoming like GusFrerotte with your anti-DHall posts.

That being said, I think it'd be ridiculous to call Rex one of the top 3 worst QBs in the league. Sh*t, the guy took a team to the Super Bowl. He didn't carry the Bears, but he was good enough of a manager to get them there.

100% agree with a one item addition:
