2012 NFL Draft: Is RG3 the Right Fit for the Redskins?
The Washington Redskins will be sitting at home for the playoffs and while the early word is that Mike Shannahan will stay on as the head coach, the new question is who will be playing QB next year. Rex Grossman had a dismal year in which he threw an interception in 12 straight games. The Skins will be getting a top ten draft pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and if Dan Snyder had any...

Rex Grossman: Redskins Were a Damn Good 5-11, You Didn’t Want to Play Us
We love you, Rex Grossman. We really do. We admire the fact that you can go from starter, to backup, to starter, to Super Bowl, to backup, to starter, to backup, to kind of starter and just take it like a man. Mike Shanahan has not exactly given Grossman a long leash since he named him the starter in favor of Donovan McNabb last season. Somehow, Rex has kept on ticking....

NFL 2012 Draft: Kirk Cousins Should be on Washington Redskins’ list
Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins may not be on your list of quarterback choices for the Washington Redskins, but he should.
If he is, he’s probably like No. 3 or 4 next to Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. I think Kirk Cousins should be observed a little closer.
At the Senior Bowl this year he threw for 115 yards and a touchdown Saturday in helping the North to a 23-13...

Rex Grossman is still high on the Redskins
Rex Grossman kicked off the 2011 Redskins season with what many thought was an overly optimistic interview about an NFC East title, so it’s only fitting for him to close the 2011 Redskins season with another tremendous interview, filled with sunshine and puppies.

A critical(ly positive) review of Rex Grossman as Redskins quarterback.
I'm not sure if you've realized this, but Rex Grossman has a chance to be a winning quarterback on the Redskins this year. He's currently 5-6 as a starter this year with two games to play. When Redskins Hog Heaven went through and did our predictions for the year, both Tony and I thought the Redskins would finish 7-9. However, neither of us believed that Grossman would be responsible...
