John Beck accepts reserve role - The Insider - The Washington Post
Beck hasn’t seen a regular-season NFL snap since 2007, but he knows as well as anyone that the No. 2 quarterback is just a play away from being the starter. Though Shanahan said he hopes to use Grossman all season, the coach also says he has every confidence that Beck could lead this team

Put Beck in Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BECK! End of story...

We have seen enough of Grossman. THis is not just on bad game. Time to move on. Beck looked better suited to move the sticks. I hope the Shananhan's do not think about going back to Grossman. Enough!

I agree. A lot of the fans on this site simply don't know football. They casually watch the games, and see that we have a 3-1 record, and don't see anything else. To that type of person, going for it, on 4th and 30, in the redzone, with 3minutes left, when you're only up by 4; is only a bad idea if it doesn't work. You can't appeal to them with logical arguments like "Rex is inaccurate", or "Rex, throughout his entire career, has more turnovers than touchdowns, and he appears to be no different now". Their response will simply be "but we're 3 -1. Suppose Rex would have come out in the second half, and NOT thrown his fourth pick of the game, but instead he stops throwing it all together, and our running game kicks in, and our defense makes some great plays, and we squeak out with a win. Those same idiots would still be saying that we are 4-1, keep him in there.

This is the problem with repeating the talking point that we are x-x, and should therfore, not change from a horrible quarterback to a potentially better QB. The record doesn't mean anything. The Bears won 13 or 14 games with Rex under center. What matters is whether or not you are winning games BECAUSE of your Quarterback play, or whether you are winning games IN SPITE of your Quarterback play. The answer with Grossman was clear 2 weeks ago.

All the Grossman supporters can go to hell. No effing way he should start anymore period after that bullshit

[Alvin Walton]

Que a different placeholder.

I seriously can't see Grossman starting the rest of the season unless Beck starts imploding. You can't throw 4 INTs in a divisional matchup and expect to start the next game. Beck showed he can move in the pocket and step up, he's mobile, he plays unafraid. He's not the answer but he's no worse than Grossman.

He is better than Grossman....and that ain't saying much!
I will be pissed at Shanny if he goes back to Grossman next week. PISSED!

Now with the Oline missing our starting G, and we need to start shifting. There is NO WAY you can start Rex. Beck is more mobile and we are going to need his legs to make plays.

One example is the dropped pass of Stallworth. Beck made that play happen with his legs. Rex would of been run down from behind or something worse I fear.

Beck has a better ball. Rex and Beck both threw the SAME pass up the seam. Becks ball was tight and quick for a first down to Austin.

Rex threw a tight pass, but it lofted in the air and lacks zip like most of Rex's passes. So it resulted in a pass breakup

Again, I was never a Grossman "supporter" - I was a "don't mess with success" guy. Grossman just sucked beyond belief today. Horrible.
