Start John Beck Madness Thread

In all fairness, we had competent, if boring and conservative QB play. The dude was doing pretty well in OAK up until this past week.

I know that probably zero actual Redskins fans said "you know who I'd like to be starting in 2011? REX F'N GROSSMAN, THAT'S WHO." With that said, when we had low-mistake, boring, dink-and-dunk quarterbacking, it was the same story: this guy sucks, get him out of here. /shrug

I hope I'm wrong but I fully expect to be hearing the same thing after Beck's mistakes cost us a game or two.

Surely you can't be talking about, Jason "what sport is this again" Campbell. The problem with Campbell was not that he made poor throws, it's that he wouldn't throw it at all. Time and time again, if you put on the tape, you will see Campbell with that dear-in-the-headlights look on his face, all the while wide open receivers streaking down the field. He just didn't see them, because he would be too busy staring at Santana Moss from Snap to SACK.

lol... our receivers weren't open very often.. nor did the line even allow him to SEE the head lights... dunno what "tape" ur watching.... but id take Campbell over Grossman 10 outta 10 times honestly

Candle could never do it against the Giants while others could(Collins, Grossman). Something about Candle's play obviously makes the Giants D really happy.

um.... yea... Grossman and a d that blocked a field goal.and pitched a 2nd half shut out ... Eli didn't destroy us like usual.. and they didn't run all over us like usual ... we scored a defensive touchdown otherwise we only win by one td, 4 if we don't.block the fg .. sure Rex played well but he didn't do mucj Campbell didn't an he did it against a different defensive line and an all around hurt defense ... that comparison is cardboard flimsy

Two touchdowns and a setup for THT's one-yard TD run. Hence, he was heavily responsible for all THREE touchdowns against the Giants. The pressure Grossman faced was right on par with what Campbell experienced. Not to mention Trent Williams was getting absolutely destroyed by Jason-Pierre Paul in the second half to the point he was practically "not even there". Candle faced similar pressure and get past the 17 point barrier since 2007.

You're right. The recievers weren't open that often (RandelEl) but when they were, Campbell was just not there. But I would certainly take Campbell over Grossman, but I don't regret him being gone.

I had a vision last night George Allen spoke to me in a dream and he told me to tell yal to tell the coaches that its time to turn "The Red-Headed Stranger" loose on the Panthers and bring balance back to the conference.

If Willie Nelson played football I hope to god we would spare no expense to sign him.
