Don't worry:

With McNabb gone, Kyle Shanahan eager for QB competition - Washington Times

Kyle Shanahan versus Donovan McNabb is sooooo 2010. Shanahan's smile said it all Friday morning at the Redskins' first full training camp practice. With McNabb on his way to Minnesota in a trade, Shanahan was eager to begin the quarterback competition between John Beck and Rex Grossman.

"I think it will be a great battle," Shanahan, the Redskins' offensive coordinator, said after practice. "I think that they’re both capable of it. Rex showed that he’s capable last year. John has shown that he’s capable in practice and what he’s done in his college tape and the few opportunities he has had in the NFL. I’m excited for them to finally get a shot together."

Beck begins with a major advantage because, well, he's actually at Redskins Park practicing with the team. Grossman, meanwhile, is still a free agent. And even if Grossman re-signs--which Shanahan said he expects--new league rules prohibit him from practicing with the team on the field until Thursday, Aug. 4.

For now, Shanahan will focus on evaluating Beck. The Redskins traded for him last August, leaving him little time to learn the playbook. He then spent the season as the No. 3 quarterback and exclusively ran scout team plays in practice in all but the final two weeks of the regular season.
