As a Redskins fan i am worried about the state of the Quarteback position in Washington. We have too many options open right now to not see advances in the upcoming seasons.
One of those options is w
e stay with Rex Grossman at quarterback until he disappoints the redskins fans or hopefully retires as a redskin. And when i say retire i say it with the best possible intentions. I would want nothing more than for Rex Grossman to go down as an all-time redskin great and when many super bowls here, in Washington. After all he did take the Chicago Bears to a super bowl and they almost upset the Indiannapolis Colts.
Back to reality, I do realize that this is probably not a safe bet to make considering most fans in Washington want to see Rex go. He started in the last four games of the redskins season last year and in a couple of those games he put up some really good numbers. However, turnovers seemed to pouring out of him left and right in other games. Either way, every game Rex played in the redskins were fighting and competing for the win.
Rex should stay in Washington. In fact, he should start next season for the redskins. He has drive and he knows what it takes to make it to the super bowl; a quality that most redskins have not even touched. Don’t forget about the Shanahan boys on the side-lines calling the plays. Those boys seem to favor Rex over any other quarterback on the team. They like his aggresion and his ability to move down the field with his arm. I also like those abilities of Rex however, i feel his most desirable ability is his quick release. He reminds me of Drew Brees when he passes those quick slants.
The redskins need to atleast give Rex one more year in a burgandy and gold uniform before they let him go. If they are planning on picking up a Quartback in the 2011 draft than they could use Rex to teach the rookie the new system. If Rex begins to struggle than maybe we could put in the rookie and give him a chance to take control of the team.
The draft is getting closer and closer with each passing day. And in about a month the redskins will have the number ten draft pick. After this we will know what player we have selected. If the redskins do draft a Quarterback then the above plan would make perfect sense. And if the redskins draft someone like Cam Newton i believe he will be ready to get on the playing field sooner than we thought.
