grossman was under pressure all day long and the run game did jack all, with gains of 1 yard on first down 99% of the time ...
and yet he still delivered! grossman was fuking elite tonight and i hope he shut haters the fukk up!!Comment -
He played really well
Raker show your faceComment -
Let's hope Rex keeps it up. Glad to see him doing well as a Gator fan myself...he hasn't exactly been doing great in previous years.Comment -
last time i checked washington was the underdog and rex grossman came through 300+ passing yards despite 4-5 dropped catches and heavy blitzes in his face thanks to an ineffective run game...
so yes for a guy who had no run game , lots of dropped passes, and lots of pressure both from the defense and from fan expectations, he delivered to lead his team to a solid 14 point division win in a home opener.
i dont know what you're babbling about but i dont buy it sorryComment -
Don't forget about "Good Rex, Bad Rex". Rex can look like a HOFer one week and look like a practice squad guy the next week.Comment -
Obviously he wont do sh*t vs the birds week 6... but regardless, I wanna see him do something vs a team without 5 of their defensive starters standing on the sideline... c'mon guys, we have seen this nonsense out of rex before.. hes a fraud and a bumComment -
Rakeeeeeeee! Heeeeey buddyComment -
John Beck replaces Rex Grossman
ASHBURN, Va. -- There's no other way to put it: Rex Grossman turned over the Washington Redskins starting quarterback job to John Beck.
Beck was anointed as the new No. 1 on Wednesday, chosen by coach Mike Shanahan to start Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Grossman gets the demotion after throwing four interceptions in a 20-13 loss to Philadelphia.
"You can't constantly turn the football over," Shanahan said. "And if you do, you're going to lose your opportunity to lead the football team."
Beck, the 30-year-old former second-round pick, will make his first NFL start since 2007, when he was a rookie for a Miami team that went 1-15. He played the fourth quarter against the Eagles after Grossman was benched, leading the Redskins' only touchdown drive of the game.

"There's been a lot of hard work that's gone into this," Beck said. "You never know when your opportunity's going to come, and you've always got to stay ready. I've tried to do that."
Beck and Grossman took turns at the podium expressing their respective excitement and disappointment, reversing their roles from six weeks ago when Grossman won the job at the end of training camp.
"Things change," Beck said, "in the blink of an eye."
Shanahan called the quarterbacks into his office Tuesday to inform them of the switch.
"I was frustrated," Grossman said. "Not completely surprised, but I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to come back off that game."
Although the Redskins (3-2) have a winning record, Grossman hasn't been able to shake reputation as a turnover machine. His nine interceptions tie him for the NFL lead with Carolina's Cam Newton, who has 42 more attempts.
Grossman has 11 total turnovers -- including two fumbles -- through five games this season, and 18 in eight Redskins starts dating to last season. He has 46 touchdown passes and 49 interceptions in a career that reached its peak when he led Chicago to the Super Bowl after the 2006 season.Comment -
