Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

Whoa, whoa ... where's the love for Kellen Clemens?

But yeah, Beck totally has my vote -- we know what Rex can do in cleanup duty but got to start thinking about the next 3-5 years.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

I prefer Beck, but I want him to earn it. His mobility is a big plus in this scheme.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

I voted for JB, as long as we get a good TEAM effort this game, we should be OK. IMO.

Ben Chappell has shown excellent hand-off and kneel down skills yet he gets no love.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

Ben Chappells hand offs have been the most crisp out of the three, I agree.

Beck is taking it by a landslide.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

You know, I'm torn on the subject. Grossman seems to be playing better as a result of this competition. He probably feels as if this is his last chance to be a starting QB in this league. The same goes for Beck; no other team has given him a real shot. What I see on tape is Grossman playing better at this point. This scenario could prove to springboard 2 competent QBs as supposed to only one as long as Shanahan doesn't employ the "quick hook". Show Kellen some love too.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

I hope it's Beck so we can laugh at everyone who said Beck who's Beck.

We're probably going to need them both to get through the season, so it's six in one hand and a half dozen in the other.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

throw Beck as a starter for the first few months then see if he's the real deal or else
put grossman back to where he is last year

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

might as well see what we have with Beck, can't hurt.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

I've been skeptical of Beck, but more so it's that I'm supportive of Rex. I can't quite explain it but I feel more comfortable right now with Rex as the "Oh shit! We need a QB right away backup" than I am with Beck...which has me kind of leaning toward wanting Beck as the starter.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

I voted for Grossman, soley for the reason he is a SB QB and can play in real games. To be honest I would love to see Beck take it and do great things for us, but you can't get all gaga over the guy because of one crisp performance against a crappy Colts team. Cam Newton did nice things his first preseason game, only to suck eggs his first start.

Solid reasoning.........

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
 

It's obvious that many on this post don't realize how good Rex Grossman is. He only led the Bears to the super bowl his first season as a starter. That's a huge accomplishment and he should receive plenty of respect for it and he doesn't. He has a very quick release and great anticpation of the big play. Why would you want a less talented quarterback to play?

It's obvious you don't realize how bad he can also be.

We know what we have in Rex, why not see what Beck has to offer? Rex is a solid fall back plan for the short term.
