Yeah good luck with that. I can probably have a better discussion about football with my dog right now.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm pretty entertained here. If we could just get a John Beck diehard in here to have a PoFlaWa with this Rex diehard I think it'd be pretty funny. I know opinion wise he's not contributing much but I think he contributes in terms of entertainment.

I like Grossman but I'll say Beck. We need youth, heck I'd go with Clemmens if he didn't look really rough around the edges last night.

1. One thing I learned about John Beck: he really does like throwing deep. Of his 10 passes three were downfield. He completed one, missed on another and was picked off on the third. But Beck said afterward he wouldn’t hesitate to make the same throw again. It didn’t come across like someone who was just blowing smoke, either. He was resolute in that and added, “I love the deep ball.” He just knew that vs. Indianapolis it wasn’t available, but against the Ravens you have to take your shots because of how aggressive they play defensively.

2. Apparently ESPN’s Jon Gruden was raving about Beck on TV and proclaimed him his day one starter. He also apparently raved about Beck’s interview. Here’s the thing; Gruden doesn’t do that if he’s not hearing something elsewhere. Like from the head coach. I’ve talked to a few people who have said that Mike Shanahan has told them he thinks Beck is better than Rex Grossman. And Gruden would have been in a production meeting with Shanahan the other day. Wonder if the QB topic came up. What do you think?

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?

We should trade for Tim Tebow and cut Grossman right now.
Tim Tebow is the savior of the Redskins.

Here's an article you can savor.

I've said all along, put John Beck out there and let him play. He hasn't been spectacular, but he has not been a disappointment either.

Ah c'mon now, show Gus some love!!!!! I will be around a lot longer than Grossman anyway. Plus you have to admit, people will always remember me years from now as the guy that always gave a plug for old #12 and talked crazy about him. I need my own Gus avatar. I need to give Sumo a private email about that.
