In Redskins team, quarterback job is still up for grabs

It seemed like the latest chapter in the unintentional comedy stylings of an organization that had beenCheap Steelers Jerseys
on the wrong side of seemingly every personnel decision in the Dan Snyder era when head coach Mike Shanahan benched Donovan McNabb last season for Rex Grossman. The faces change, yes, but the story remains the same. Or so the thinking went.

In addition, while it's way too early to make any grand proclamations about the 2011 season, we feel comfortable enough with what we've seen from Grossman and John Beck to say this: the Skins' quarterbacks are not that bad. Perhaps, but we are talking about the Redskins. Yes, that phrase was coined in Washington, and while it wasn't originally intended for the Skins, it might as have been.

The offense looks like something more than a hastily assembled pick-up squad as Shanahan begins his second season as the head coach (and his son, Kyle, as the offensive coordinator). And we can't stress this enough: they're doing it with Grossman and Beck, one a former first-round pick destined for the life of a backup, and the other a guy who last started an NFL game in 2007, four of them, all losses.

So after Grossman made easy work of the Steelers in Week 1 of the preseason, Beck showed well against the Colts in Week 2, and both held their own against the Ravens on Thursday night, the starting quarterback situation remains up in the air. At least to hear Shanahan tell it.

Shanahan said after the Redskins lost, 34-31, to the Ravens, "I'm going to evaluate them all the way through camp, all the way through the last preseason game, possibly up to the day before we play the Giants. It all depends on if someone separates themselves."

If someone separates themselves, isn't always a positive? It could be the case that two prospective quarterbacks are playing so poorly that a coach is praying one can achieve mediocrity in time for the season. Also it is not helping, the Skins play in the NFC East, Ben roethlisberger jersey
the division the Eagles are predestined to win according to oracle and backup quarterback Vince Young.

But this is the preseason, where every team still has visions of the playoffs, and hopes haven't yet been crushed by the stark reality of the regular season. And for two Redskins' quarterbacks, that means trying to earn the starting nod. "I do know both of us feel pretty good about what we have done." Beck said. "I've tried to do everything I can. Is it enough? That's hard to say, because I'm not making the decision."

Actually I watched the game last night, and they both looked pretty decent. Not take that with a grain of salt as its preseason and the regular season is a whole different beast.It is composed by pittsburghsteelersjerseyshopcom 08.29.2011
