Thom Loverro on ESPN 980: Start Rex if RG3 Can't Go

[skins2victory]

It sounds like RG3 is going to be playing on Sunday, so this really doesn't matter. But I would be fine with either Rex, or Cousins getting the start.

-For the people that cant stand Rex, that's fine, but keep the hate to yourself. He gave everything he had to our beloved team last year, and it obviously didn't go as planned. But come on guys, he still is a redskin. From interviews that I have seen since RG3 has been here, Griff has had nothing but positive things to say about Rex, and how he has helped his development a lot. He deserves a little more respect..... It still makes me sick that our own Redskins fans booed him as he took the field in the preseason..... It was just wrong!

I agree. These guys are out there giving it their all. I'm sure Rex truly wanted to win for this franchise. Hopefully those boos were directed at Shanny and not him... but we all know they weren't.

Rex is a guy who u want as Qb. quick memory, knows the system, thinks he can make every throw.

You forgot CANNON for an arm.

[NikoBellic]

wow didn't know people booed him. that's messed up.

[Rocky52Mc]

Look it's obvious, it's been obvious. This should not be a discussion here because it was on the radio. It's on the radio to piss people off. Rex is here for the playbook adaptation of the two young guys. That's all, that's all it will ever be since the draft. The End.

----Ummm no comment then. Just keeping it to myself. But I thought this was a discussion board?

[bonesbr549]

NO or let me change that to HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[SAli457180]

If Grossman starts, then the Browns don't need to gameplan that much for this offense and they're already spotted a 14-0 lead and it's a uphill battle from there.

[DiscoBob]

Shanny is going to announce that RGIII is starting and then trot out the sex cannon......"I meant Rex Grossman the third, who did you think I was talking about?"

[Dan T.]

He really does have a terrible voice. I can't put my finger on who he sounds like, though. Almost like a 65 year old man with a teenager's voice.... definitely made for newspaper

And the more excited he gets about a topic, the higher his voice gets. When he's really on a roll, the pitch gets higher and higher until only dogs can hear him.

Hey man, I just have respect for someone who went to battle every week for the team I love. It was the franchises fault for not having a better option last year. He tried his best, and deserves more than to be booed as he takes the field in preseason. Again, from all accounts that I have heard, he has helped the development of our young QB's a lot behind the scenes. Not to mention being a class act about the situation.....

-Awesome sig by the way. Love me some Zakk wylde. Dude is a legend!!

I hate Thom's voice.

I do think starting Rex is a safer bet.

[HoyaSkins28]

Whoever can protect the ball should start, and Rex has clearly proven that he's good for 1/2 picks a game. Our game plan against the Browns is going to be to do whatever it takes to get Alfred Morris ROLLING, and throwing picks is the easiest way to ruin a running game/offense in general. Obviously Cousins threw 2 picks against the Falcons, but that was coming in cold against one of the winningest teams in the league. If RGIII can't go, let's see what Cousins can do with a full week of preparation as a potential starter. I guess, when it comes down to it, I know that I can't trust Rex to win a specific game, but I don't know that I can't trust Cousins to at least not lose the game, so I'm going with Cousins.

Thanks for the props on the sig. About Rex, I said -no comment. Nothing bad, nothing good. No comment.
