[skinsfaninok]

We r grasping and Rex should start IMO but honestly it doesn't really matter as long as we beat Dallas I'm ok bcuz I know this team only has 5-6 wins

I have been a big believer in them but they have royal fawked up the QB position which was suppose to be their specialty.

How about Carlos Rogers, ever have a bad job then got a good job but went back to visit your friends at the bad job just to say hi and you left smiling knowing you don't have to work in that shit hole anymore, that is great feeling. That was how Carlos felt yesterday.

As I said elsewhere Mike's talent evaluation is laughable. Same can be said for his ability to motivate, clock management, organization, game preparedness and scheme.

Los deserves to be where he's at and I really hope JC recovers from injury and gets another shot to start (somewhere).

Eff you gotta feel bad for Fletcher. I wish he could end his career w/ a great franchise, maybe even a contender. Nobody deserves another ring as much as he does.

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.

Well, he did "discover" Tony Romo, but Romo picked Dallas over Denver. And we have had one of our better drafts this offseason.

about 10 times Beck had wide open rwcievers for long tds prolly / big plays / first Downs and didn't even. look near them... run the ball up the effing middle more and off tackle downhill ... not ****in 10 yds sideways everytime u hand it off.... PUT A QB IN WHO ATTEMPTS A PASS OVER 15 YDS.. cuz Beck didn't throw a single one.

I thought they stuck with the run as much as they could yesterday...you have to try to move the chains and we don't have an offense that can just run play after play and gain first downs.

49ers dominated the game from the first snap and we had no chance from the beginning.

I agree that our 11 points were garbage but I don't agree that we were dominated at all. That game was there for the taking with even an average QB performance. The defense kept the game reasonably close and there were plays to be made on offense all over that field but our QB never even tried to make them...

It's remarkable that two straight years, our quarterback situation has put us in a spot where this is a reasonable conclusion. There is nothing that John Beck can do in the next eight games that makes him a viable option going forward. I'm sure he will improve, but at the end of the year it still has to be someone else.

I'm one of the biggest proponents of the idea that taking the focus off the quarterback position is one of the easiest way to rebuild a team in the QB-crazy modern NFL. But any personnel guy who failed this hard two consecutive years at rebuilding the offense would get fired. Even Vinny Cerrato. I'm at the point where if Bruce Allen isn't going to be the guy calling the shots on personnel, then Bruce Allen needs to hire a guy who will. You, me, anyone but the status quo.

We don't even need to tear down the structure of the front office. We just need to fix the problem.

[over the mountain]

we suck suck. i was metally prepared for another real bad season thinking wed get 5-6 wins but dang, last 3 games have been brutally boring and inept from a skins side of things.

as skins fans weve been through some brutal seasons and stretches but dang, there has been zero entertainment factor outside gano's 59 yarder.

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.

i wish they play Riley at Rocky's spot starting this week

This! I haven't understood why he isn't getting more reps.. Fletcher's inevitable retirement isn't too far away and Rocky has just been SO inconsistent.

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.
