Smoot lays the smack down (Skins/Bills) - mattyk edition

[GTripp0012]

I would dispute the notion that John Beck had 10 almost TDs against Carolina. I'm going to say he didn't get that close to 10 TDs.

Beck's teammates have done a worse job overall that Grossman's teammates. But that's not the be-all-end-all of Beck's performance. Beck faced two of the softest defenses in the NFL this year and currently carries a 62.0 QB rating (EDIT - he actually carries a 69.6 QB rating).

In the best case scenario, Beck isn't a drop-off from Grossman, which means there's probably some regression towards the mean in his future performances. But there's also the very real possibility that Beck really is the 32nd best out of 32 starting quarterbacks, and that nothing is getting better for him anytime soon. Because there's no obvious reason to turn back to Grossman, we'll find out soon enough.

I was being funny with that. Beck hasn't had the luxury that Rex did the first first few games with a full cast and healthy OL. Sure Beck played like absolute shit in Buffalo, but lets give him a couple games before we start calling for Rex to come back. Rex couldn't get it done with a full cast, what makes anybody think he's going to get it done with 5 guys out on the offense? He's not.

Is anyone arguing we should go back to Rex? Beck sucked, Rex sucked. Is this news to anyone? Move along people, nothing to see here ...

Yep, fact is we have to accept our QB suckage for this year and hope we can get some competent guys in here next year.

Rex: the offense moves until it turns the ball over
Beck: like being stuck in the mud without hope of of tow

pick your poison

Sadly it's the same as it's been before.

Rex: Will get rid of the ball quickly to compensate for his subpar mobility but is money to turn the ball over at least once a game.

Beck: Will hold onto the ball too long and take sacks. Kind of a poor mans Michael Vick. However he is more accurate and slightly less turnover prone then Rex.

With that said Beck has only played 2 1/4 games. Want to see him for another week or two before we go back. However until the running game comes back (read: Trent Williams returns) I'm pretty sure it won't matter who we play at QB. Plus I'm starting to realize how important Santana really was to this offense. His ability to make plays in tight spaces and move the chains is severely under appreciated.

I think Rex is more accurate with the long ball than Beck.

Some fans just refuse to give up the grass is greener mentality.

"Oh Beck sucks even Rex isn't as bad as this, lets put him back in."

So they put Rex back in, and Rex sucks just as bad.

"Oh I don't remember Beck sucking this bad, lets put him back in."

And on and on until the season is over.

Face it guys, we're gonna give to ride out the season with mediocrity at qb.

Me and Cooley are on the same page about this.

1) The Fans - I keep hearing how Redskins fans are some of the most intelligent out of the NFL, but I simply don't see it. (probably same throughout the league) I see a good many who are just as knee jerk reactionary about this team as our lousy owner is. What kills me the most is these same people are probably the same ones bashing Snyder for doing exactly what they are doing. /facepalm

CC speaking the truth.

[SmootSmack]

I've been saying that for years...but I've also been saying as long as management doesn't pay too much attention to the fans then fans can be as impulsive as they want.

[JoeRedskin]

We got our hopes up a little early. It's clear this team doesn't have teh OL depth, the skill at WR or a QB to be more than average. Hopefully we will eke out a few more wins this year but we are gonna need turn overs and a modicum of offensive production to make it happen.

Next year will be better.
