There's a lot of quarterbacks who are soft in the middle. Peyton Manning ain't exactly built like a Greek statue or anything.

How about we support our quarterbacks instead of trashing them like the teams we claim to hate?

Supporting them and having some sort of delusions about their potential are two seperate things. Will I cheer for the success of our starting qb? Absolutely. Will my expectations remain very low if that qb is Grossman or Beck? Of course. Look at the last decade of Super Bowl qbs and tell me it isn't a passers league.
Sure Rex played in a Super Bowl, but his numbers hit a ceiling that was about on par with Brunell's best season as a Redskin.

I love my Redskins, but I'm real at the same time.

It's now official, if you wear 8 in this town people will obsess over your body comp.

If you actually see the CSN interview in context, it's not some grand declaration of division dominance.

It's not that big a deal.

context is everything

I don't see anything wrong with what he said either

I don't have an issue with it either. Anyone in their right mind knows that the notion of us winning the division is pretty silly, but what's he supposed to say? We have no shot? He'd get bashed even worse for that. So I have no problem whatsoever with his statement.

I love it. Get 'em Sexy.

I certainly would not want a Quarterback (or any player on the team for that matter) to say "gee I just hope we can avoid finishing dead last in the division, all those people who are picking against us are dead on!"

Yea, our goal should be to win the East dammit. Good for Rex.

Lmao agree

This is hilarious -- Rex Grossman is trending on Twitter right now. LOL

Here's what some wrote: Rex Grossman named Redskins starter. S&P just downgraded the team from "NFL" to "ACC Conference"

I guess we should get used to these ridiculous non-stories. Mike Florio and Jason LaCanfora must be going insane since there aren't any big stories they can use to bash the Redskins. The AH/McNabb circus is gone, we didn't trade any major draft picks for washed up veterans, and we didn't make any major free agent acquisition. Not having these type of distractions around is huge for team that is rebuilding and has a lot of young players.

Nor did we draft a QB that probably long or short term wouldn't have been any better than the three we already have.

It's good however to scroll down this roster of Redskins and see so many players on the left side of thirty, hungry and eager to make a reputation for themselves. Likewise as important, (compared to years gone by) I see more players on this roster drafted by the Redskins, a factor I've noticed is not lost on those of which it has that special meaning. Not always, but more often than not, loyalty, commitment and dedication is a by-product of the players drafted by a team.
