Redskins

Said Rex Grossman: "I wasn't trying to make some kind of profound statement. I just really believe in this team."

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.

Nothing wrong with what he said. A QB needs such confidence. Rexy even got me fired up. Bring on the Giants so we can kick their butts!

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.

I don't see why this is a story. What team would want a QB who DOESN'T have an optimistic outlook for the team? Oh yeah, the Bears...

I wish he had said "We're going to win the East...but only if I'm starting" That would have been great for him to start some shit
But really it's a non-story. Been arguing that point with my colleagues. Mainly fellow Skins fans

As much as I like his confidence I would rather he concentrate on his game. Let your game do the talking.

More focus on game, less focus on cake.
