Yeah well Rex Grossman isn't even on the same Planet as these 5 above. So that argument isn't too strong my friend.

You're missing the point.

Lol No I see the point I mean it happens to all the QBs but Rex has done this his whole career.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
Actually, it is a fair point that even great QBs have stretches of throwing picks. But even for the excellent ones who have done so this season (Brady, Brees, et al.), they've also thrown a lot of TDs -- a lot more than Rex.
The reality is that Rex just hasn't been good this season, and we've largely won 3 games despite him, not because of him. As I see it, his performaces are as follows: 1. Giants win -- a good game all around for Rex. 2. AZ win -- a terrible first half, but a solid second half and comeback win. 3. Dallas loss -- awful 4. Rams win -- awful 5. Eagles loss -- awful By my count, that is 6 quarters -- out of 20 -- where he has played well. And that just doesn't cut it in this league. I like the guy and was rooting for him to be successful. And I like the fact that his teammates are pulling for him -- see the Moss response -- which suggests he's showing greater leadership in practice than appears evident on the field. At this point, I would argue for giving Beck a shot. Rex is a turnover machine and has been his whole career, and as we do not exactly have an explosive offense (a great D, though), we have to basically play mistake free football to win games. And I just do not have confidence he can do that. |

Brady- 151 games, 111 INT's. Brees- 144 games, 140 INT's. EManning- 111 games, 118 INT's. Stafford- 19 games, 25 INT's. Roethlisberger- 105 games, 92 INT's. Vick- 104 games, 66 INT's. Grossman- 46 games, 49 INT's. I'm soo glad EManning and Stafford suck just as much as Grossman. I wonder when those respected teams will start chanting for the 2nd stringer. |

No I agree with you. My point is do you really think any of those QB's would do any better in this offense with the same WR's Rex has had? I'll be man enough to admit they might have a little better results, but look at their skills. Each one of them I'd say are accurate on the short routes no different then Grossman. Where the difference is, is that the other QB's can throw up the deep ball and they have WR's who will locate the ball in the air and run to where its going to be. For whatever reason if the ball is not right in the bread basket for our WR's they don't catch it. and.... even if it is in the bread basket they drop it half the time. |

I agree Eli is not Brady,Brees or even his brother but anyone that thinks he and Rex are equal....needs their head examine.
