Renegade7 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Had a mini-discussion in another thread about this idea. If JC get injured in the regular season, who of the two QBs would you rather be sent out first to try on run the offense? Rex Grossman? or Colt Brennan? *I don't believe either of them are starting material, but Rex knows Kyle's offense, is a veteran, and has won regular season and playoff games, even if he sucks now. To me, there's a reason Colt has stayed a thrid stringer his little bit of time here, and is coming off IR. We may have another poll like this after the preseason, but in the mean time, we might as well see where everyone stands right now. Keep it civil, people.

terpskins10 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Definitely Grossman, as much as it hurts to say it. We saw with TC how experience in the offense can be a great asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 There are only two options, and both of them are already on the roster. They aren't future draft picks or other possible veteran free agents. Don't hijack this thread, there are a million other places you can redundantly argue the same crap over and over again in the stadium right now.

ChillSkinzFan84 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I would rather see what Colt can do. I already know what Grossman is. Grossman may be good enough to finish a game but I wouldnt trust him long term. I dont even know if I trust him enough to finish a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 I feel what some of ya'll are saying, and I too kinda want to see what Colt can do. Thing is to me, he could come in there and we'll see him end a game for us in one play. The same can be said for Grossman, so it's like pick your poison with this one. Unless Colt can show me something in the preseason, I'm more comfortable with the "known" variable, even if it's possible doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSkin30 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We've seen what Rex can do and I don't buy into the "He knows the offense" argument. He was with Kyle Shanahan in Houston for what, one season? And in that time, he played in 1 game if I'm not mistaken. He's a classic Spurrier bust and I am not at all supportive of this move. That being said, I'd rather see CB5 make a go of it. If nothing else, we haven't seen it. At the absolute worst, he'd be another edition of Sexy Rexy's Unleash the Dragon.

Mahons21 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Sexy Rexy, he's not just a gun-slinger he's a ***-slinger. -But seriously, I'd rather Colt. I've always felt there is something special about this kid, and if he is just given the chance to play he will make things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett81 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Grossman may be good enough to finish a game but...I dont even know if I trust him enough to finish a game what does that even mean? I feel like I'm questioning Bruce Dickinson, yes...The Bruce Dickinson. Rex has proven he can win and lose in the NFL, Colt has proven nothing. If it's a matter of wanting to win the game, I vote Rex. If it's an it doesn't matter our team is horrible, like last year, than let the Shetland Pony see what he can do.

We'd have to decide who the backup is before the game, not during, if we don't want to risk having to put our third stringer in and hope he doesn't get injured. The other QBs can't come in for, what, two quarters if the third gets put in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other QBs can't come in for, what, two quarters if the third gets put in? Well, I'll be... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_quarterback_rule Third quarterback rule From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The third quarterback rule is a rule in the National Football League that governs the use of a third quarterback in addition to the starter and the backup. The third quarterback does not count towards the team's 45-man active roster. If the third quarterback enters the game during any of the first three quarters, the starter and backup become ineligible to play.[1] The full text of the rule is: Teams will be permitted an Active List of 45 players and an Inactive List of eight players for each regular-season and postseason game. Provided that a club has two quarterbacks on its 45-player Active List, a third quarterback from its Inactive List is permitted to dress for the game, but if he enters the game during the first three quarters, the other two quarterbacks are thereafter prohibited from playing.[2] Although it is not specifically indicated, the NFL has interpreted its rule to mean that in order to designate a third quarterback, the two on the active roster must both be "bona fide" quarterbacks, not other position players merely designated as quarterbacks.[3] [edit] History The third quarterback rule was instituted for the 1991 NFL season in reaction to a 1990 game between the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles. In that game—sometimes referred to as the "Body Bag Game"—Redskins lost both starting quarterback Jeff Rutledge and backup Stan Humphries to injuries. Without a third quarterback on their active roster, Washington had to either use a different player for that position or forfeit the game. Brian Mitchell completed the game in the quarterback position. The Redskins lost to the Eagles, 28-14.[4] Didn't know that, but go figure it was the body-bag game that start all this. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep (edit to add: looking at the link above, the other QBs can't come in at all if a third stringer plays) Which is why I voted Colt. Since the two scenarios in which I wouldn't mind seeing Rex are highly unlikely, other than for practice, there shouldn't be any reason for Rex to be on the field during any point in his tenure here in Washington.
