The Franchise Player
The NFL is a QB driven league. Problem is neither of ours qualify for a leaners permit.
While I can't argue that Beck is better than Rex, I need to point out that Rex had 5 starters that Beck hasn't had (Hightower, Moss, Cooley, Williams and Lichtenstieger). The line has been in a constant state of flux since he came in and frankly, I can't see how Rex could have been better but he easily could have been worse.
me thinks you exaggerate! the reality is that...like Beck...Rex's only good games were during pre-season. he managed a somewhat credible effort against a wounded Gints team. otherwise.....the offense's performace was just as anemic under Rex as with Beck. At this point...i don't much care which of these incredible mediocrities are under center. I do think some are giving rex more credit than he is due. the offense didn't do squat under his leadsership either. the only difference then...was the litanany of "it's o-line/receivers" fault excuses we had to endure whilke Butterball had his belly under center.
Were they completions over 20 yards after the catch? I did not watch last week's game so I cannot say, but I have yet to see Beck actually throw it over 20 yards in the air that I can recall, today there was not one that went over 15 yards in the air.
And Gibbs passed on Aaron Rogers...
To be fair, a lot of coaches passed on Aaron Rodgers, not just Gibbs. And also to be fair, had we taken him with the 9th overall pick, he may have struggled just as much as Jason did.
Thanks for posting that.
I thought I was the only person out there that question taking a cornerback #9 in 2005 and a safety #6 in 2007 when we had already spent a #4 pick in 2004 on Sean Taylor.
There are OTHER areas of the football team such as OL, DL, QB and WR that are critical to one's success.
The Redskins, like Matt Millen with all these wide receivers in Detroit, seem to have forgotten that.
me thinks you exaggerate!
