| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search Quote:
Last year they kept Rex after giving him a three-game audition in their system. Everyone, including Dan Snyder, was at least somewhat willing to give them and Rex a chance to show that he could improve in their system. But now after this past season where Rex showed he turns the ball over just as much in this system as any other, keeping him around would mean he HAS to make the leap, or if I'm Snyder the Shanahans would be history. I mean given the knowledge we have today, how can you take the position that Rex is likely to perform well this coming season? Keeping him would be riskier to their jobs than trading up and selecting a rookie. | |

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search I'll say this: trading a bunch of picks to draft a 22 year old quarterback isn't mortgaging the future. It's betting the future on a single entity. Trading a ton of picks for a guy like 26 year old Jay Cutler or 31 year old Carson Palmer is mortgaging the future. But if you are going to develop the asset yourself, its not the same thing as trying to trade a ton of draft value for a "finished product" who is already making a ton of money. It's scenarios like the second that fans who don't get it dream up. It's that kind of "we need to get a quarterback" discussion that makes actually tries to separate having a quarterback from winning games. Trading a bunch of picks for a higher pick is just what you do if you don't like your positioning in a draft.

I'm not against the idea, I am just thinking that it doesn't ever happen.

And the way this staff placed the emphasis on knowing the scheme I can't see it happening. If I were a betting man I think at least 1 if not both of the Rex/Beck will be back. Hopefully they won't be taking snaps past week 8 at the latest.

Crompton, who was on the practice squad all last year, could very well be the number III quarterback on the depth chart heading into the next season. | |

Mcnabb - bust Grossman - bust Beck - bust Not having a single young developmentatal qb on the roster in two full seasons - unforgivable.

Bring in Flynn from FA, get a great QB in the draft, and either bring in a late round draft pick at QB also or get a UDFA and let them all battle it out. | |

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search I agree, we need to clean house at the QB position. They don't need a crutch. Start fresh get some players who want to win.

| Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search Quote:
I agree with you 200%; Rex is not a satisfactory QB. Having said that, look at the QB that the Skins had "competing with Rex" in training camp on something purported to be an equal footing. Compared to John Beck, Rex Grossman looks like a perennial All-Pro candidate...
