Because our O is still bad, Grossman is bad and he's a turnover machine. Yeah, he's way better then Campbell. But man, he still stinks. We are on the right track, but no way are we going to the Super Bowl this year. Now is the time to try things, not when we actually are good as I hope we'll be in a couple years. I'm not saying Beck or bust, but Shannahan said it was very close. He also said Grossman was better. He's not. So let's give Beck a shot. Then decide who to take the rest of this year's shot with.
I don't get this OMG, we're 3-1, we can't change ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! Sure we can. And we're not that good. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it. But I think we've got a long way to go to actually be good and I just don't get clinging out of fear to a quarterback who's not good and isn't winning any games for us. Our D is a lot closer then our O. Our O needs a lot more work.
I basically agree that our offense is not very good, but I personally think it would get worse with Beck. I don't think Beck is a better QB than Grossman. Beck was basically handed the keys and lost them in the preseason.
It is my opinion that a number of people enjoy testing out "potential" or the unknown in this case. Beck is a complete unknown. He has been in the league for 5 years and never seen the light of day. Personally, that tells me something, but to others it may mean that everyone else, including Bill Parcells has missed something about Beck that may make him a good QB -- which I find doubtful.
Right now we are in the playoff hunt -- therefore it is NOT the time to try new things (unless you only care about going to the SB and not improving as a team and using that improvement as a benchmark for next season -- which, of course would result in never getting to the SB). It doesn't make sense to change the formula and risk regression due to a QB change. Now, if we lose our next 2 games, then sure, but making an impulsive, premature change in leadership is not the smart move. And to answer your question -- sure there are things we could change -- like the RB or punt returner, BUT a QB change is the equivalent of giving the team a heart transplant. If you are winning MAJOR changes shouldn't be made.
And finally, I wouldn't hastily say that Grossman hasn't won games for us. I don't think Hightower's 72 rushing yards or the 3 rushing first downs we had against the Giants is the reason we pulled that game out. Grossman was a HUGE reason why we won that game. He deserved the game ball. Now, he has had bad games such as against STL, but as long as he is winning, I don't see the need to pull him.
This is the best by far actual argument I've read on sticking with Grossman. I thought that Grossman had a better pre-season then he's had a season and that's why he got the job. I also am not so concerned with this year even at 3-1 other then being a building block year. And I don't think starting Beck actually would necessarily hurt our chances. But that's opinion and you state yours well also on why you don't want to do it, at least not now.
