tr1 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'm not worried at all about the QB situation. We're going with placeholders for the immediate future. Our longterm solution will be drafted. We're building around him right now. We won't seriously compete for the NFCE crown or even playoffs till we get that guy in here. Until then, I'm gonna temper my expectations and just watch the pieces fall into place. Very true. I'd settle for FA or traded qbs always. We have a stable of them in our history...Sonny, Billy, Joey (CFL), Doug, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Well this is not good news about our QB situation, fellas if this continues need to do something at the quarterback position.. Looks like Clemens can slip right inAccording to the Washington Times, Rex Grossman has been "erratic" in Redskins camp, and "accuracy has been a problem." You didn't think the light would flip on at age 31, did ya? Owner of a 54.2 career completion rate and 40:40 TD-to-INT ratio, Grossman has never been able to throw the football in a straight line with consistency. Per beat writer Rich Campbell, John Beck was just as "erratic" before his groin injury. Source: Washington Times Rex Grossman will never be accurate, he never has been and he never will be. The numbers don't lie. If we thought Donovan McNabb was inaccurate, Grossman makes McNabb look like Steve Young in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFCE in this particular case. I've noticed it before, though. Weird. Get out of here with the calm, rational, sensical post!!! Anyone that wants to complain and bash Shanahan about the QB situation (which we all agree is less than ideal) needs to answer these questions three: 1. Do you want to make the McNabb Mistake again (trade for Palmer, sign Hasselbeck, Young)? 2. Who would you prefer to bring in? 3. What is the average airspeed velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

bird_1972 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Earlier in the week he was tweeting some crybaby stuff. Pretty much letting us know he may get cut. That fan appreciation stuff he posted, was all in the aftermath when everyone thought he got cut. The guy just tweets to much. Not every thought should be a "tweet", indeed.

Going Commando Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yea, he did. He ranted about how he didn't like the 'Skins fans and we weren't true fans since we were booing the team That wasn't last year that was 2009. He'll never live that down but Henson is actually a great guy who reached out to the fans more than anyone else on the team. The McDonalds comment was a mistake he made as a dumb rookie in the heat of the moment after a very frustrating game. He learned his lesson from that and embraced Redskins fans. Any one of us could have walked up to him and struck up a conversation and he'd have talked to you about football all day. He was one of my favorites and I'm sad to see him go.

Chump Bailey Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The Washington Times confirms Jabar Gaffney has been running as the No. 2 receiver ahead of Anthony Armstrong.We don't expect it to change, either. The Redskins traded for Gaffney to make him a starter opposite Santana Moss, who will likely play in the slot in three-wide sets. Rookie Leonard Hankerson has struggled with drops almost daily, so Gaffney has plenty of breathing room right now.
