You're just wrong Al. Grossman has thrown awful turnovers. But he's also scored points and kept the ball moving with the passing game - in fact, quite effectively at times.
Ultimately - we don't have an NFL quarterback. But Beck is an absolute zero. 'Deep passing game' is relative. Compared to Beck, Grossman is ****ing Johnny Unitas. I want Beck to play - because I hope we lose every game the rest of the way. He'll ensure that.
Pre-Script: not at war with you on this Boone! in the end, we both hold almost identical views on what needs to be done. I simply see no difference in outcomes between the two. We happen to differ on more granular attributes - you believe Rex makes more precise passes with greater regularity than Beck. I can see where you are coming from. I see Rex's physical limitations, mistakes, etc., and those assume a greater weight for me.
I'm not wrong. Our early victories were due mostly to defense...not Rex Grossman.
1) I'll be charitable and give him the Gints game.
2) Cards game: Butterball was picked in the first quarter on a potential scoring drive. second quarter scoring drive (1 yard pass to Davis) was based mostly on running and the same short passing limitations we are seeing from Beck. 3rd QTR Wells runs all over us and the offense under Rex does nothing. Butterball led a scoring drive in the 4th qtr, failed two point conversion, Gano kicks a field goal. Major accomplishment against the 2-6 Cardinals. sickly offense.
3) Cowboys: need I review that embarrassment? Lot of dynamic scoring drives there by ole Butterball. no TDs.
4) Rams: 1 touchdown drive. yup...another dynamic, powerhouse performance led by Butterball. the putrid Rams were in position to possibly win that game in the 4th qtr after Butterball was picked. Torain was the difference maker...not Butterball.
5) Eagles: shall we review his 4 picks?
In my book....Butterball has logged one good game - the first one. you are hanging your hat on phantom beliefs. Beck has been a non-entity. I didn't think it possible...but the offense has been worse under him. my point is that the offense was basically horrendous under Butterball as well. so what if he completed more passes? THEY WEREN'T SCORING ANY MORE. we had no deep passing game. he was and is a turnover machine. for every "on the money" pass you see...I see a pass behind the receiver and way off the mark the few times we have gone deep. Butterball sucks. Beck is like driving a car with two wheels....Butterball with three wheels. neither should be in the NFL.
here's my major departure from you: I see us losing the same games regardless of whether Beck or Butterball are under center. no one seems to be phased by the fact that a 6 year vet tosses 4 picks in one game! one can expect Beck to be bad having only started 7 games in his whole career. But Butterball? HE SUCKS!!!!!
so....choosing between Beck or Rex is simply making a decision on which foot to shoot. All I know is that this team better go all in on landing a franchise QB during the off-season. it would be nice if we could also land a capable FA QB to groom the new kid. get rid of rex and beck.
