Guys, is there really anything there with Crompton? Or are we just really grasping?

It's the latter. If Crompton really had anything, he'd be on the active roster. I trust that the coaches evaluate the players in practice, and if Crompton was doing any better than Beck or Grossman he'dve been called up by now.

Crompton looked ok in the preseason. Not terrible, not great. Had some fine throws mixed with some ghastly ones. And none of us here have seen him throw a pass as a Redskin. So, yeah, some grasping is going on.

That said, we know that Beck and Wrecks are not the future. Therefore we should test drive Rockytop once we are eliminated and no harm to our season can be done. Maybe he is not our future. But he's the only QB we have who MIGHT be.

Goodness, I must have been asleep during the preseason. When did Crompton play?

And can we just bring back Clemens and Chappell while we're at it?

He played against us week 4 as a Buccaneer.

Agree. We are 3-5 with games remaining against Dall-ass, Iggles, NYG, NYJ, Pats. Is there anything to indicate we can go 3-2 in those games? Even at 3-2 there and sweeping MIA, SEA, MINN that leaves us at 9-7. I don't think 9-7 gets us in the playoffs this year.

We are not a playoff team, I agree with the youth movement. We need to evaluate and get the youngsters on the field to build towards 2012. Maybe Crompton can be a solid QB, or even a solid backup, let's take a look. He won't be worse than Rex & Beck have been....and even if he is neither Rex/Beck give us a realistic chance to win games.
