Report: Grossman Starting on Sunday

[SmootSmack]

Kelli Johnson of CSN Washington is now reporting that Rex Grossman has been given the nod to start on Sunday. I haven't heard if confirmed or denied anywhere else

Well, at least we won't be talking about hypotheticals regarding the backup like with JC/Collins.

“I’m told locker room is divided and guys are extremely upset,” Johnson wrote

The locker room is divided and guys are upset? Awesome.

Man, WTF is Shanahan doing? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Trading for McNabb was just a total, epic fail. So much for the Skins not being laughing stock anymore.

We make "Crazy Al" Davis look rational, and his Raider look like a well-oiled machine. I am so hoping that Jason Campbell has a very productive career there. The Shanahans have set this franchise back at least 2 more years now that Donovan is good as gone.

Oh yeah? Well tough effing sh*t. The locker room doesn't run the show anymore.

If that quote about the locker room is correct, this might be a blunder that extends into the offseason & next year. I see a roll over & die performance in the works is this is true:
Dallas 31
skins 10

Good lord. If Rexs falls on his face the Shannahans look like idiots, but if he plays well then McNabb will look washed up and is probably gone next year.

Between the week 8 benching in Detroit, the piss poor clock management, the Haynesworth ordeal, and now this, I'd say they already look like idiots. And according to Kelli Johnson, MS has lost the locker room.

Sweet. Our latest "savior" only took 13 weeks to lose the team.

I'm beside myself right now. This is just the cherry on top of a blunder-filled season.

Well as for the "losing" the locker room...I don't really care because I would like to "lose" about half of that locker room. I am still behind Shanny and him and Allen will be here longer then most of the players currently on the team.

Amen brother. Preach on.

[Hail to the Redskins]

My take on Mike Shanahan is pretty clear... He is 100% ANTI "Superstar"... anti-"Special Treatment"

... meaning, he doesn't even entertain the idea of someone getting superstar treatment or being "grandfathered" in to leeway. Either you practice 100%, perform well, or you are sat down.

He's not going to budge at all to meet common ground or give in at all to a player.

That I can respect a little... but at the same time...

He has made some of the craziest bone-headed moves I could have imagined.

Mistake 1: 3-4 defense. If he evaluated the Skins at all last year he'd have known that we had the pieces for a 4-3... with some of our absolute best players thriving in it. And not just Haynesworth, but he, Carter, and Rak all used properly in the 4-3 may have helped us win at least 1 or 2 more games this year IMO.

Mistake 2: Benching McNabb vs Lions wasn't the mistake... it's how he handled it after that was... whoa dumb.

Mistake 3: Not going after Houshmenzadeh or R. Moss when they were available and dirt cheap. We could have had them BOTH... these guys could've help evaluate McNabb (taking away the whole "he had no weapons" excuse... imagine Santana & Randy Moss on the outside, Housh in the slot, with Cooley & F. Davis as your TEs)

Mistake 4: Benching McNabb right now. Everyone knows Grossman & Beck are not future Super Bowl winning QBs and now all we've done is ruin trade value we had for McNabb. If he's not your guy... fine... but whew... dumb.

Oh well -- the locker room can lose MS all they want. If that's the case, then they'll be gone lickety-split.

If you ask me, it's about damn time this locker room was told who's boss.

yeah thats the spirit tell the entire team they all ****ing suck! mike and kyle are all we need!!!!! :/

it's not about the players running the team it's about a coexistance, you have to have a good coach player relationship to win. if a player doesn't trust the coach why the hell would he play as hard as he can for him. the coaches have to gain the trust of the locker room and have the players rally behind them.
