As long as he can finish drives then I'm all for it.
The problem with McNabb, and the Redskins for that matter, this past year was never yardage but rather his inability to convert, weather it be third downs or red zone attempts. It took Donovan 8 games to throw 7 Touchdown Passes.
Grossman on the other hand did it in 3. Granted the rest of the offense had more experience in week 15 then they did in week 1 but to further illustrate McNabb only threw for more then one TD in two games. And that was the Monday Night Beatdown at the hands of Philly and the Tampa game. Again it took Donny 14 games to have two games with at least 2 touchdowns. Grossman on the other hand needed only 3 games.
I'm now convinced that this offense will always get a ton of yards through the air.
What we really need is a closer, Grossman ironically proved he could do that. In all liklihood had he started 16 games he would have probably gotten around 20-25 TD passes compared to McNabb's 14 which was on pace for 15 or 16. And I'm tempted to say 18 or 19 seeing as how me missed out on the second Dallas game but as we can see in McNabb's best game of the season he was only able to get one TD against Houston who had a worse secondary then Dallas.
Still I'm intrigued by Becks combination of accuracy, quick release, and potential to anticipate throws.
Looking back on Young at the other hand I'm curious to find out weather or not he can close out drives and throw 30 to 40 times a game. Either way we should bring him in.
In the end I'm looking for someone that can put up at least 25 TD passes, while really hoping for 30.
