Nothing sums it up better then this statement from John Keim of the Examiner

[quote]1. Here’s what I like about Jim Harbaugh: He’s winning the way Washington should be, with a strong running game, an outstanding defense and a game manager at quarterback. They have what the Redskins don’t: something to hang their hat on. And even before the injuries, the Redskins did not want to play this way. They wanted to be an explosive offense without explosive talent. In less than half a season the 49ers have an established identity. The Redskins do not; even before the injuries that wasn’t the case. They’re 24 games in… and counting. Maybe they did want their identity to be an aggressive passing team. But it just seems San Francisco plays to its strengths while the Redskins play to what they wish their strength was. Schemes are terrific, but they don’t win titles. Playmakers in good schemes win titles. Using guys to their strengths matters, too. I’m certain that Mike Shanahan knows this; he knows the talent level was low. But when you put certain guys in certain spots, it’s also on you.[/quote]

Agreed. With Grossman at the helm we are a bad NFL team. With Beck we're a bad high school team.

Not sure the solution. Watching Beck is very painful. Starting Rex we'll develop our WRs a little more and maybe win a game or two but winning isn't necessarily a good thing at this point.

Here's my plan... Run the wildcat every play and anytime we get to the other team's 40 bring on Gano for the 57-yarder...

Before this you are going to need to lock up Kyle Shanahan somewhere so he doesn't call the plays.

Meanwhile...

Shanahan had a game manager on the roster (or could have gotten a game manager via free agency), yet chose to trade for a washed up veteran that couldn't even be a game manager.

He took an established defense, blew it up (creating more holes on the roster) and implemented a new scheme.

Finally, he took a run-first team and turn it into a pass-first team. The problem (like with the defensive overhaul) is that we didn't (and still don't) have the talent or players to run such a scheme.

I guess I need to realize that last year was a complete waste and this is rebuilding year #1.

[quote=Lotus;856741]Crompton looked ok in the preseason. Not terrible, not great. Had some fine throws mixed with some ghastly ones. And none of us here have seen him throw a pass as a Redskin. So, yeah, some grasping is going on.

Even at 3-2 there and sweeping MIA, SEA, MINN that leaves us at 9-7. I don't think 9-7 gets us in the playoffs this year.

We are not a playoff team, I agree with the youth movement. We need to evaluate and get the youngsters on the field to build towards 2012. Maybe Crompton can be a solid QB, or even a solid backup, let's take a look. He won't be worse than Rex & Beck have been....and even if he is neither Rex/Beck give us a realistic chance to win games.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

I've got no problem with playing Crompton, as long as he's ready to play. We signed him to the PS on 9/4. I just have a hard time believing that he's anywhere near ready for prime time.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

Smackdown - John Beck as a starting quarterback. Can you at least look at your receivers before throwing it to Helu? A RB w/ 14 receptions means your offense is terrible. McIntosh/Doughty chasing a wide open FULLBACK streaking down the field for a TD. To me that play sums up both of those players perfectly. They were good Skins but its time for an UPGRADE!!! Fred Davis baby - you're still my favorite Skin this season, but you gotta catch the ball. Is that really Anthony Armstrong or did someone kidnap him and dress in his uniform? How many catches does he have this season? I have more but my fingers are getting tired.

Smackup - Helu/Hankerson/Kerrigan, making our draft look very good yesterday. Let Mr. Hanky start the rest of the season. He is our best chance of a playmaker from the WR position. Defense - they played well all things considered. They must go through tons of gatorade for how much time they have to spend on the field. I didnt notice Hurt - which for a left guard is a good thing. He looks like he might be able to stick as O-Line depth in the comings seasons.

Don't need prime-time. Scale back the offense to run first, keep Crompton's throws between 22-30 per game. Simplify the progressions (half field or quick reads), be more creative in the run/PA game, and see if JC2 can make some plays. Expand the playbook as he progresses.

On another note; I agree with the following in a big way
[I]from Dirtbag's post: "...Redskins play to what they wish their strength was. Schemes are terrific, but they don’t win titles. Playmakers in good schemes win titles. Using guys to their strengths matters, too." [/I]

I can understand a philosophy of wanting folks to understand the system so when you get the franchise QB you can run KS's "system". But, you don't have....and may not get....that franchise QB. The pass happy system only works with exceptional talent at QB.

If you look at Houston 2010 & 2011, you have an offensive system that runs first, yet puts up great run & pass numbers. In 2010 (7th rush yds) and 2011 (1st rush yds) you have an improved YP(run)A from 2008 & 2009. Since KS left, Houston has improved in total points ranking (2008 17th, 2009 10th vs. 2010 9th, 2011 4th-Keep in mind 2011 has been without Johnson for a big chunk). Schaub isn't a Pro Bowl QB, there aren't Pro Bowlers all over Houston's offense. Foster while a very good player, is more a product of the system.

It's time for MS to take the reigns here and dictate a change in philosophy. A committment to the run game helps (protects) a subpar QB. Plus when bad weather sets in it hampers the passing game. Here are some numbers, I'm sure you'll quickly figure out what they are:
NYG 34 - 26 W
ARI 43-35 W
DAL 37 - 22 L
STL 29 - 40 W
PHI 37 - 14 L
CAR 37 - 23 L
BUF 33 - 11 L
SF 47 - 15 L

First number is pass attempts, second is run attempts. Pretty clear correlation to an imbalance and losses. I'm not saying we'd be 8 - 0 with a balanced attack, put we'd be putting more points up and not keeping our D in consisently bad position. If we get the franchise QB, then we can open it up and will be an even more explosive O.

The injuries have hurt the running game as much as beck has hurt the passing game.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

rex could throw the ball past the line of scrimmage... just saying. beck's never won a game in the nfl, is past 30 and has been passed over by the ravens and the dolphins.

I have no idea why we brought him here or why anyone thought he'd be any good. this is what i expected, and i wish it was wrong, but i think it's time to fix it.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

I was as hopeful as anyone that Beck would be at least a serviceable QB, if not an upgrade over Rex. But my take after watching yesterday's performance is that what happened to Rex is weighing on Beck as he's playing like a guy who is afraid to make a mistake and therefore takes no chances at all. After not having had an opportunity (except on one of the worst teams in NFL history in the 2007 Dolphins), Beck finally gets his chance, but only after Rex throws a bunch of terrible picks. So Beck figures if he can throw high percentage, short passes, avoid the INTs, they'll be able to generate enough offense to keep him in as the starter. So he doesn't look down the field, doesn't look for crossing routes, and tries to unload the ball as quickly as possible (which, given the drubbing by the Bills, is somewhat understandable).

But the problem is that no one is afraid that he can pick anyone apart. That the 49er safties were positioned for pass plays like they were run plays says a lot. No fear that the passing game is a real threat, and it surely isn't. The real elite QBs in this league walk onto the field thinking, "I am going to light you up." Beck walks onto the field thinking, "Please don't light me up." And it shows.

Yup. Also, I think as we look at the past 24 games, one could make a really solid argument that we should have kept Jason Campbell over the 3 qbs we've had starting since him. Not saying he was the franchise savior, but I think he certainly would have been a better 2 season band-aid than McNabb, Beck, or Grossman.

Oh hellyeah absolutely. I was never a Campbell hater while he was here, and he played more consistent for us than any of the 3 qb's who have played so far under Mike Shanahan. If we had kept him we'd have a potential 2nd round pick sitting on the roster right now.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

It's funny how a lot of fans wanted Campbell gone and now realize he wasn't so bad. My point is, the same can be said about Kyle Shanahan, a lot of fans want him gone but in actuality you won't find someone better, people need to be patient. When the young players develop (has already started) and a QB is drafted, linemen drafted, we will see what we've been wanting to see on offense. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Shanny should have been patient too and not traded for McNabb. As I said before, last year was semi wasted, this is the first year of the rebuild.

I agree with you 100%. McNabb's QB rating last season was 77.5. This year Grossman's QB rating is 66.5 and Beck's QB rating is 72.1. Where is the upgrade? Donovan McNabb would have probably had a much better grasp of the offense going into year 2. We all know he would be more effective than either Beck or Grossman at this point of the season.

Another Mike Shanahan foul up.

Had no problem with trading for McNabb, but they should have also selected a QB in the draft. Even if McNabb was successful they had to know it would be brief considering his ago.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

Beck is so inept that it's difficult to see how good anyone else on offense is. I know it's been said, but Rex will win games and also single handedly lose some with picks and fumbles. At least with him there is a shot and we can see some of the potential in the wr's. I know that a lot of people on here put no stock in what teammates said prior to the Rex benching (especially Moss) but I think the receivers know more than us. I honestly don't see Beck ever winning an NFL game.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

I agree . he reads the field like a senile glaucoma patient. I honestly believe he will not win a game as a redskin, and may never get the chance to after that... Rex makes throws/attempts john Beck is not able to process fast enough. Beck dis not throw a ball past 15 yds that I can remember watching in the seats... furious. Rex wins that game against SF IMO. 5+ times open recievers downfield for possible tds bug gains and he didn't look there way and had time. missed alot of open guys un general and cracked under pressure. Rex makes the throws and SCORES the points we.needed to win that game. its a joke that our staff actually thought Beck could start in this league. sorry. not saying Rex is awesome but he's 10 times better than Beck hands effing down. disgusting feeling u get watching our high school offense being qb'd by a division 2 talent level looking lost puppy. [/PISSED] ... I want the Guy who gives this team the best chance to win and that is by FAR Rex Grossman ..

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

and I don't wanna hear about picks and fumbles... Beck threw plenty of passes that should have.been picks on throws I.honestly do NOT think Rex would.have.made. .. oh and he fumbles ...

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

Whether we play beck or grossman, it doesn't really matter. Bottom line is we don't have a starting caliber quarterback. Period.

Re: Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. 49ers) (Thread is Open)
 

if having much better of a chance to win "doesn't matter" .. ur glass is half empty.. the real bottom line is we are NOT 3-5 if we had stuck with Rex and let that confidence increase his and inspire better play from the entire offense .. but no.. we didn't because shanny knows best [/blah]… .. Rex beats Carolina and SF.. but nobody could have won a game wen ur line gives up 9 sacks and a game full of constant pressure, just not likely .. still I say 5-3 with Rex, not this point deprived offense Beck throws, or should I say doesn't throw around and were 3-5 ..

that is all

When/if he plays this season, it will certainly be anything but "prime time"...
