Who do you want to start at QB?

Might as well let Beck have a crack at it. Geesh whats there to argue or figure out here.

I understood Shanahan is going to wait the very last minute to let people know who his starter is, but is it possible that tonight's game would give us some hints?

I don't really care who starts to be honest. Its kinda like asking me which brand of oatmeal I prefer. It doesn't really matter to me but it will hold me over until I can make it to the store and get some kind of high-sodium pork product.

if we're winning/looking good offensively, it doesn't really matter. grossman is 20-13 i heard as a starter (did not confirm), both are pushing 30, and neither one is going to the probowl, so it's whatever.

average QB A vs average QB B isn't nearly as exciting as the local sports media is making it out to be (or, rather, isn't a story worth nearly as much press as it's been given).

thats how i feel to. neither qb has made a clear cut case. what i do find interesting though is that it seems to me that both qbs bring a different style and approach. beck is more conservative, perhaps a better decision maker while grossman has the potential to put up 350 yds .... for me it really just comes down to who can run the system the best.

i really cant even say which one id want to start 9/11.

Riggo is reporting on facebook that his "inside source" is telling him Shanahan has made his decision, and he is going with Beck to start the season opener.

I said Beck, hoping he has an undiscovered upside!!! I have been impressed w/ his 1) accuracy 2) mobility. It's a solid foundation to start with. That said I know there's been a lot of "build up" in his own mind to winning the starting job. Seems like the guy puts tons of pressure on himself. Shanny Co would be wise to give Beck time to settle down, which could be a couple/few games. Worst case scenario is he starts w/ some jitters and gets yanked (too soon) IMO.

By virtue that Beck is playing and and Rex is not in this meaningless game.....REX IS THE STARTER?

If you start Beck over Grossman you lose Grossman mentally.

He is a better QB than Beck right now. Everyone knows it. He knows it.

This is his last best chance to become a legit QB.

Beck is lucky to be on an NFL roster. Dude has done nothing in his career.

He would be thrilled to be the #3 QB on any NFL team. SURE he wants to be the man, but he will be happy to wait in line a little longer for his turn.

It's Rex's time to get that so called "last best shot."

You can easily bench Grossman and go with Beck during the year if things go South.

On the other hand Grossman will be furious if he doesn't get this opportunity going into his third year in this system.

Grossman looked good against the Steelers and the Ravens.

Beck looked terribly average against the backup Bucs.

Case closed.

Grossman also had the starting RB/WR in the game against Pitt for the first half when Pitt took their 1st team out after the 1st drive.

I don't really think anything is guaranteed at this moment. Beck and Grossman have both had their share of ups/downs, or did you forget about Grossman's 2nd half against the Colts?

I think Beck is still the starter for week 1. So I guess we will wait and see.. Beck is going to have ups/downs this season. Nobody is predicting him to come in and be the next Tom Brady or Romo. If Grossman is the starter, we all know what we get from him.

Beck is 30 he ain't waiting any longer and I'm not so sure Rex is better IMO. I think both are honestly about the same, 2 guys that won't be here very long.
