My opinion, is until Shanahan leaves a decent to great QB in as the starter, for more than a couple games at a time, then the Redskins have no chance at teaching RG3 to be the permanent QB. It was painful the last couple years watching Shanahan pull QBs right when they started to get a rhythm, then do it again to the replacement QB, then again to the original, and again to the replacement, and so on and so forth. Absolutely painful watching those clearly damaging decisions NOT be stopped by the upper management. Here is to hoping they let RG3 continue to be the starter when he starts getting his groove!

Rex is making more than 99.999% of people posting commentary here, so he has NO reason to hang his head. He’s richer than anyone reading this and probably always will be…

RG3 should not play for the Shanahan they are the worst coaches in the league and should be fired for nepotism. Shanahan’s don’t want intelligent football players they want robots. RG3 worst move you could every make DO NOT PLAY for THE Shanahan’s

There’s a reason this guy has had a ten year career and it is not because he has a rocket arm or is laser efficient. There is nothing wrong with a ten year career in any profession that pays over a million per year on average. Grossman has a healthy and realistic take on his value to the franchise.

What’s the difference between former Gator qb’s Rex Grossman and Tim Tebow? Someone actually wants Rex to play qb. Tebow will not have the career Rex does. Go Gators!

A good back up comes in and helps teach the system to the franchise QB or future QB and come in and play a half or a couple games if the starter gets hurt and Rex fits that role……This will be Rex’s 4th year in this system do you expect them to sign somebody like Soup Campbell who doesn’t know one iota of the O to come in and be like “Ok here’s what you do on this bootleg oh wait is Garcon gonna a skinny post or a cross? I just got my new playbook lets go ask coach…” Yeah great idea…..

Dude, nobody would be lucky to have Rex. He plain sucks! RG3 should be a much improvement. However, skins still finish no better than 3rd this year. Overpaying for Pierre and josh Morgan isn’t the answer. Another waste of money by Snyder.

Jason Campbell is a good backup. Rex Grossman is not.

A good backup is not asked to win a game. If he can win games, then he would be a starter. A good backup is asked to save an already won game: Get a few first downs, take care of the football, safely drive a few yards and get the field goal. Those are backup duties when the boss gets hurt.

That is why Jason Campbell is the perfect backup. JC rarely throws an interception and can get first downs to kill the clock. But Rex is careless with the football and that is the last thing you want in a backup QB.

So I am only happy about this if Rex came real cheap.

The guy has issues and at times should not be playing QB for any team. That said, Rex did beat the Giants. If I have one worry about RG3 it is his mobility in that mobile QBs are historically susceptible to injury. While Rex is not exactly the 1st guy that comes to mind when I’m looking at the bench for someone to come carry the rest of the game on their shoulders, Rex is someone I think can win any game at any time. I know, I know, he can lose any one as well, but when your going to the backup why not go with someone that is going to come in swinging.

I’d like to see them draft Russell Wilson late & make him the project QB, so later down the road… if anything happens to RGIII, you have a smaller replication that can do the same things so you don’t lose that running dimension.

Does he have a choice? If he says he is competing to start he would be checked for other concussion symptoms. He’s lucky to have a job in the NFL.

i’d rather have had a trained monkey as a back up than rex grossman! everything he touches turns into a disaster!

I can imagine Rex passing on to RG3 some of his vast veteran experience:

“When you don’t see an open receiver and the defense is bearing down on you, just do what I do … close your eyes and chuck that baby downfield. What? That sounds crazy and irresponsible? Hey – I once got my team to the Super Bowl. Oh, yeah … and another thing … Have a short memory!! …”

Rex Grossman promises to be a “good soldier that is good because he never was a field General…

I think Rex needs to go back to basic training and graduate from a private..

Now he’s playing Guard Tackle and End.

He sits at the end of the bench guards the water and tackles anyone that comes near it. That is a good soldier.

Great attitude and serviceable backup. Good signing for cheap.

In dc he’s known as RG2. For Rex Grossman 2 turnovers a game. Although RG3 and out aint bad.

Rg3 has ridiculous upside, but nothing more important than having a back-up who knows the scheme inside and out….

The Skins have the making of a good support system for a rookie QB in RG3. Can’t wait to see what happens in 2012. Hopefully 8 wins.

Their are a lot of high draft picks that were called “Can’t Miss” that turn into busts and it is a real possibility that RG3 will be one of these.

Always been a Rex apologist. I know he ain’t the answer, that’s obvious. But I’ve always liked this guy. Other teams would be lucky to have him.
