SS, any word on whether Kyle advocated for Rex? I mean we got him (I think before McNabb), but any idea if Kyle would've advocated for Rex as the starter?

And thanks for that tidbit about Allen advocating for McNabb.

I never heard, other than some report in the Washington Post, last week that Kyle never wanted McNabb here but I do know that he believed/believes Grossman would be just fine as a starter until the future of the franchise shows up. I remember last season reading how impressed the Texans were with how quickly Grossman picked up the offense
