Sources say it is Beck

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Shanny has informed the team they are going with Beck.

I am not a fan of this move but I will support the decision and still cheer the team.

I am not surprised either as Grossman has been a turnover machine, with 18 giveaways in eight Redskins starts, and his quarterback rating has been on a slide since the 110.5 he posted in the season-opening win over the New York Giants.

Since then, he's put up 74.9, 77.5, 48.5 and then the paltry 23.7 on Sunday. His 66.5 overall rating ranks 32nd of 33 quarterbacks in the league, with only Kerry Collins (65.9) trailing him.

Still, I don't believe in Beck and hope he proves me wrong. I suppose the one advantage he brings is his mobility which will be all the more important given that we lost the left side of our line. However, as mentioned, the move has deeper ramifications. This is not fantasy football where, should Beck blow, you can switch back and forth b/t QBs. The Shannys are basically committing to Beck for at least the next few games. I am sure the majority of fans will support this move but if Beck blows this week, there will be some grumblings but he will get some leeway because he hasn't been practicing with the starters, etc. If he blows in week 2, the fans/media will start getting on him. If he blows in game 3, the "We want Rex!" chants will start and to have to go back will be tough on the team. That said, the Shannys better hope Beck pans out.

If nothing else, this makes Sunday's game all the more interesting.
