It is highly debatable, in my opinion, that Grossman out played Beck to the point where he dominated the competition so conclusively that he won the job unquestionably. To deminish his role with such emphatic asininity, to the point where you would juxtapose Beck with Doughty at the QB position, is more of a slap in the the face to the Shanahans and their personnel decisions then I could ever make with a simple plea to see a guy play in a game scenario before the verdict has been rendered. I'm content waiting for Grossman to continue to make the same mistakes, because with every one Beck inches closer to his shot. He may flop, he may be average, he may impress. I don't know. I never claimed to. But I atleast have enough faith in the Shanahans to believe that they consider their backup good enough to keep him one injury away from starting.

wow...I can't believe you two are arguing back and forth about a QB and team that is 3-1. Skins fans can never be happy without controversy.

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.
