why? It's not like Rex is the future of this team... this team still needs a franchise QB...

He was NOT brought in to fullfill that role. He is a BACKUP. He is someone who can come in a keep the offense moving in case of injury. He can TEACH. He was NOT brought here to be the face of the offense.

That being said, if you view him for what he IS, there's no room for disappointment.

I wasn't insinuating that he was brought here to be the face of the offense... I was simply stating that I don't think this changes the draft plans from whatever they were before the signing... and please, as others have mentioned, you cannot count on him to TEACH anyone, or expect him to MOVE the offense... if that is what you are expecting of him, I believe you will be disappointed...

You have no idea what the guy is capable of. You're making it sound as if I'm stating he's the master architect of this offense or something. He's been in the offense for a year, he can simply be a helpful guide at times for the other QB's. Let's be real here for a second.

I disagree. I think that this signing and Shanahan's comments actually make it more likely that they will go with a qb in either the first or second round. You don't bring in a scrub like Grossman and start talking about "competition" if you have any real faith in your starting qb.

If I'm not mistaken I think Collins is gone already

Since Brunell was benched, JC has had ZERO competition. Even when Todd came in and did well for a few games, JC still had no competition in camp the next year.

Maybe Shanahan thinks a competition will make or break JC...I think it's a win/win. Eitehr he shapes up or he ships out.

Right, but the fact that Shanahan thinks that JC needs competition says a lot about how Shanahan views JC.

On a day the Redskins locked up one quarterback, they're apparently preparing to work out another. The Redskins are one of five teams that have scheduled individual workouts with draft prospect Tim Tebow, according to the Sporting News.

The Redskins hold the draft's No. 37 pick, which could put them in prime position to select Tebow in the second round, if they choose. Working out for scouts and coaches Wednesday, Tebow unveiled a new throwing motion intended to erase concerns about his poor mechanics.

Much of the pre-draft speculation has focused on the Redskins possibly drafting a quarterback with their first-round pick, the draft's No. 4 overall. But with a major need at the left tackle position and with the increasing likelihood that Sam Bradford will be chosen by the St. Louis Rams with the draft's first pick, it's certainly possible that
Washington passes on a quarterback in the first round and waits until the second or later. The team signed Rex Grossman to a one-year contract early Wednesday, and Grossman is expected to compete for the team's backup job.

How does this signing give JC some competiton? It may give Colt some competion for the 2nd or 3rd QB spot, but he certainly won't compete with JC.

I don't think JC is a very good QB, but he is good enough where Rex isn't going to push him!

But hey... at least he is slightly better than Simms!

He's still with the team my friend, he hasn't been released (yet). So I guess it looks like this from my seat. JC- starter this season, Rex- Help install Kyle's offense, Colt- Probably dropped and replaced by whoever we draft (most likely Tony Pike cause that's who I want but I'm ok with whoever else we draft as long as its not the 1st flippin round)
