I'm still pissed that we didn't make a move on Vick.

As much as i wanted him too i dont think theres any chance Mike Vick would have had any success here. At this point in his career he needs stability; something the Redskins have lacked since Danny took over. As much as it pains me to say, the truth is Philly is a really well run franchise where questionable guys can come in and do well.

Just think about how the eagles have handled getting rid of McNabb interdivision, starting Kolb, benching Kolb (after his recovery from injury) for Vick, benching Kolb again (after Vick became healthy) for Vick. They have a more erratic fan base too and they still pulled it better off than the Redskins have with our QB events; not signing McNabb to a extension early in the season, benching McNabb for Grossman w 2min left in a winnable game, signing McNabb to a extension, and now after 2 weeks of rumors of benching McNabb for Grossman.

I am personally for the move to bench him at this point in the season because the season is OVER. Lets test out the players we have and see if they can make contributions to the team next year. I think McNabb is the better of the 2 qb’s by far but wants the point in continuing to play him. It should be audition time for all the not so big names, imo. We know what to expect from most other guys, let the rest of the guys make or not make a name for themselves.

Also, ive said this before but this has been the toughest season for me. I really just don’t care anymore, I really don’t. Even though its “dallas week” I wasn’t even really going to watch the game. Maybe lay on my couch nurse a hangover, drink enough to fall asleep at a reasonable hour, and flip around channels crossing my fingers for a movie on tbs or something. Now I am actually kind of excited/curious and want to watch just to see how horrible, great, or unremarkable Grossman plays. A lot of QBs have been labeled failures or busts with their initial teams and have ended up having great careers. Why do people have hate for a guy that hasn’t really even ever been given the chance with us before?
