To your point about Beck being in the system and knowing it after 1yr 3months. Rex has 3 years in the system and I would bet he has a better handle on it than Beck. The backup QB is the best position in football. He is the savior, the man, that is until the starter goes down and he steps in and shits on himself. Then it is well he is a backup what do you expect. Look, Rex is starting because he is the better of the two. Shanny has had two years of these guys on the roster, watching them practice and watching game film. I think they know who is better and who gives us a better chance to win.
Of the 5 INT's, how many of them should have been caught? 3 or 4 right.. So, if the WR catches the ball, are we even having this discussion. NOPE. So go and watch the games again, Rex isn't playing that bad.

Of those 5 ints, which depending on your perspective, could have been several more if the defenders make the catch, I only recognized 2 that are directly attributed to receiver drops, and have nothing to do with ball placement. He also has 2 recorded fumbles on the stat sheet which arguably could have been 3-4. If you subtract the receiver drops from the equation, and add the fumbles, you're still looking at a QB who has thrown 6 TDs to 5-6 turnovers. Ints alone are not the only stat tick to take into account. Is that ratio gleaming with positivity? Hardly.
I know it can be done in this offense, because last year at this point in the season we were #1 in the league in passes over 50 yds (Rex has yet to throw one over 40 this season), and we were 2-2, not a far cry from where we stand today. In the last 3 games Rex has not managed to crack the 78 mark in passer rating, and that's the favorable rating system. I'm not sure how you do the math, but that does not paint the picture of a QB who exudes confidence in a system. I don't believe anyones apprehension with Grossman under center can be considered, in any way, unfounded.
I'm certain Rex will remain at the helm, for now, in order to protect our 1st place tie in the division, but there isn't a lot that the Rex supporters can say that would change his mediocre performance and production. It only seems logical to have a question mark lingering over Grossman, and in the same vein question whether Beck can do better.
