I hope Rexy lives up to his nickname and... er... sexies up the G-strings.

Grossman's career numbers leave a lot to be desired. Hope his experience and this "system" get this thing going better than it has before. He's never compled 60% of his passes and has a career 70.9 rating.

I'm going to side track this thread a little bit.

Who has a better performance on Sunday? McNabb with the Vikes or Rex?

I say Rex!

So true, but remember he had that one tiny qualifier in there ("obviously anything can change") so you'll never convince him he was flat-out wrong.

I'm not looking to convince him. Everyone else knows he was flat out wrong.

You should have heard him yesterday AM on the Junkies doing his best Gregory Hines impersonation (tap dancing) and as fast as he was back peddling, if a bicycle could actually be peddled backwards, he could have win the Tour De France in reverse.

He was throwing so much BS out there that you could tell that even he didn't believe it.

Something just seems wrong when dudes refer to Grossman as "sexy Rexy". Can we please abolish this nickname??

OTOH... if it bugs the lawyer... do it twice as much.

This is my gut feeling. This game is going to come down to a very high pressure play. The score will be close. And it's going to make/break Rex's season, yes, in the first game. Scheme's and offenses can only mask a person tendencies but so much. When the game is on the line, when the pressure is bursting pipes, u revert back to second nature. And Rex's second nature is feast or famine and there's a lot of starving people in his past. LOLOLOL

Yep, as moving forward onto the abyss. Just ask Vinny. He always made progress. :roll:

His best rating was with the Redskins? That's somewhat promising if you ignore that it was only for three games.

I never called what Vinnie did "Progress".
