Nah...not upset or banging my head....but we should be 4-0.
We lost to a team that could only score field goals against our D.
Rex is like watching a bi-polar train wreck full of turnovers.
Against the Rams, one of the worst teams in the NFL, Rex started good but then slowed down as the game went on and played down to their level. Ugly!
He is so slow to set up on the play action pass. His speed from center, to the fake to the RB with his back to the defense, then turn and throw is molasses-like. His naked bootlegs and rollouts are amateurish at times. Both of the Shanahan's faces during these moments is telling.
Rex was not that much better than Beck in preseason. Beck looked better in certain games. It is not that crazy of an idea to see Beck play if Rex does not improve in the turnovers and red zone.

If you just squeak by the Rams well... Lets wait and see what Shanny does, I would not be surprised to see a change at QB this season.

44 it's because we see what the future holds and with REX we know it's only a matter of time until he goes Sanchez on us and losses a game or 2. Yeah he's done a decent job but the last 2 games have been poor and STL had 2 INTs dropped thank god or we prob lose that game. Rex is what he is but Beck on the other hand has more mobility and more accurate according to some so why not try him?

Before last weeks game one of the announcers said they went back and reviewed all our red zone plays against Dallas and our WR's where not getting any seperation and Rex had no one to throw to. I guess we could ask for him to force a throw or two but then people would bitch about his ints.

Probably has more to do with the way we win, than winning itself. Guess some people will never be satisfied unless we win every game convincingly.

According to some of Shanny's latest statements there is some evidence that we may in fact see Beck this season. If Rex can pull it together great! Some here are acting as if all we need to do is bare with Rex until we secure a franchise QB well, its been decades and we have not been able to do so so what makes anyone believe that it will happen soon?

Our time is now, Our window of opportunity is now, we need to know for sure that we have the right man in at QB now. I know we are 3-1 but that has more to do with our defense than anything else. We simply are not putting enough points on the board to compete in the later stages of the season.
(The way Rex is playing at this point)

His TD to INT/Fumble ratio is scary to say the least. I don't even want to get into his mobility issues...

I'll say it again, count on Beck playing this season.

I couldn't be happier at 3-1 and have no complaints, the Q was would it be bad to start Beck? I say no it wouldn't

[hooskins]

If you have no problems with 3-1 why change? To me if you are content with where we are now why change what got us there?

If Beck isn't going to start then he can crew Dans new yacht.

If your contention is that receivers aren't finding separation, therefore not giving Rex a open target to throw to, wouldn't you then feel more comfortable with a more athletic QB who can improvise with his legs?

We're not talking about Michael Vick here. John Beck is slightly more mobile than Grossman. He's not a dual threat though.
