MDTERPS27 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I heard on CSN that Grossman is expected to sit out tonight's game vs the Bucs. Usually, starters get to take the 4th preseason game off. Just something I found to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfansince1988 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I still think it is Beck. Beck is Shanahan's guy, Grossman is a retread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxJoe Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If he's the starter for the season, good. No injuries to the starters is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTERPS27 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 That's what I'm thinking. Add that to the fact that he started all 3 of those games at the end of last year. He has attempted 54 passes this preseason compared to Beck's 27. Grossman was the starter in the 3rd preseason game vs the Ravens, while Beck only attempted 3 first half passes if I recall correctly. Yet the whole world seems to know it's going to be Beck on week 1. As far as I'm concerned, Shanahan has pulled a fast one on the NFL and has them all duped.

The Caretaker Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I don't think it is as simple as he sits he starts. Think about the equal opportunity, Beck didn't play game 1 vs. the Steelers, they traded play time the previous two games, seems more like making up for the lost game to me.

Stadium-Armory Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If nothing else, the Shannahan's have our undivided attention. And its refreshing to be so transfixed by a seemingly positive football story - having 2 guys who are working hard, and playing well. Bring on the regular season. Hail!

DGREENHULK Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 BMITCH agrees that Rex based on the fact that he won't play tonight will be our starter week 1.....FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfansince1988 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 it is also possible they want to see Beck and how he does without Moss, Hightower, since injuries are part of the game and he might have to play without the best players at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindx Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think this favors starting Beck week 1. Offensive starters are playing in this game I believe so it's a perfect time to get Beck more game experience with them to build more chemistry. Remember, this is not a normal off season. Normally I would agree with the back up QB starting in the 4th preseason game. Now, if Beck looks really really terrible I can see them naming Grossman the starter for week 1 and giving him all of the reps. BUt as long as he doesn't blow it I think Beck is gonna start.

azbear Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 very interesting. Makes no sense to sit him out, unless he's your week 1 starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmann2 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 This QB matchup is the most intriguing one perhaps besides the one in Denver. Kinda funny how Tebow and Quinn were College Football royalty and Kyle Orton is projected to be the starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Rex is our week one starter. No surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Maybe since Rex Grossman got to play game 1 with no Beck, Beck will get to play this game with no Grossman. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santanathegreat Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good. I hope last week was the last time we see play as Redskin for the rest of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Caretaker Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Maybe since Rex Grossman got to play game 1 with no Beck, Beck will get to play this game with no Grossman. :whoknows: ^this, I am not sure why people are under the assumption that he is starting week one with any amount of certainty, when beck missed an entire game, of course he is going to have more pass attempts, so that argument is invalid. This is one of the most competitive QB wars that have gone on in the past decade, I don't see any reason that anyone should assume anything at this point. Not to mention that this is Shanny we are talking about, his decision could very well the game time next Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePenguin Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good. I hope last week was the last time we see play as Redskin for the rest of his career. LOL, Yeah Grossman was really terrible. I miss McNabb and Jason Campbell. Seriously, I like Beck, but don't mind Rex at all. Why are people so eager to build up one QB and tear down the other? It's comedic to me at this point. Not surprised people are seeing what they want to in this piece of news. Whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty#30 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Gotta remember... Beck didn't play the first preseason game. Equal time... equal evaluation. Personally.... I think its Beck regardless. If he believed so much in Rex he would have been signed to a 2 or 3 year deal versus just 1. They brought Rex back in case Beck didn't pan out, that way they're have a QB with familiarity of the offense. They know what they have in Grossman. Beck has always been the one under evaluation here. Remember both praised him when he came out of college. Both had him rated rather high as well... Beck has been the guy all along.

jaydogg3eb Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I hope it is Grossman. I'm absolutely stunned and simply blown away by the amount of Beck love on this board. What he has done to amaze you people is beyond me. And yes, I did mean "you people". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
