Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
I figured this was big enough news for it's own thread.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
Sonny J. said Shanny told him a few days ago. Very, very surprising move. Shanny's losing a lot of credibility right now.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
I mentioned this in another thread- the momet Shanny switches back to Grossman is the moment he admits that this team doesn't have a quarterback. So much for staking your reputation on these guys.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
Sometimes you put all your money on a guy, and then you lose all your money. Credibility or not, I hope Shanny gets his next qb move right, because we're 0 for 3 these 2 seasons.

At least with Rex we have a chance to score a TD or two. Beck is not an NFL QB. He's proven that.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
And the worst part is that 66% of these moves were inevitably wrong.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
Yep, he's definitely 0-4. Shanny has no credibility on QBs. He's def 0-4.

He didn't want to draft a scrub in last years draft, we would probably have ended up with a younger beck, he'll get his qb in the next draft

Good call. JC would be a definite upgrade from what we have now, and he wouldn't even have cost us anything.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
Yes, he would have. We would not have gotten the fourth rounder we got from Oakland. Nor is his skillset adequate to take a team very far. That's why the Shanahan had to go hunt, because what he was sure to provide wasn't enough to pilot an offense.

Re: Surprise Switch- Grossman will Start vs Phins; Beck to the Bench
I feel bad for the guy. I mean I know he's no all-star, but he really is an above average starter and just gets shafted time after time. Total class act too.

You say his skillset's not adequate, I say his steady yet unspectacular qb play would've been better than anything McNabb, Grossman, or Beck would've done. We haven't even had average qb play in between those 3 qb's. Campbell has shown he could've provided that, even with the constant changing of coordinators. He played in a WC under Zorn too, so it's not like he wouldn't have been familiar with the concepts.
