Cowboys Revenge (Against McNabb) May Have to Be Served Cold

by KD Drummond on Dec 15, 2010 1:53 PM CST in Dallas Cowboys News

Who here wants to see more of the McNabb sad face?

The Cowboys may have to wait for their revenge against Donovan McNabb.

According to a slew of reports, starting with Jay Glazer of Fox on Sunday, and now ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Mike Florio of profootballtalk.com, Rex Grossman could be the starting quarterback when Washington crawls into town on Sunday.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports there's a chance Grossman will start on Sunday at Dallas. Though Kelli Johnson of CSN Washington cites an unnamed team source who says, "I don't think that's true," we've also heard that Grossman could be getting the start but that, at this point, nothing is definite.

It could be that the two men share the reps in practice again, and that coach Mike Shanahan decides on a starter based on how they both work this week.

So what will a Grossman start do to change your outlook on our chances in this rematch?

I hope McNabb plays

So the Cowboys D puts his arse on the bench

If they bench McNabb this weekend

does this mean he gets another new contract?

man...

These people on here wishing and hoping for injured players really ruin this site for me.

Anyway, not that I can ever feel sorry for mcnabb, but what in the world is washington doing??? Its so confusing. They never should have payed him if he wasn’t going to be starting every snap.

i'm so confused about your first statement..

who is hoping for player injuries? As long as I’ve been here, the majority of the fans here are true competition aficionados. We want to beat the best, at their best. Sure, when times get difficult you take a win any way you can- but I’ve never seen a large number of people cheering a players misfortune.

I'm not gonna dwell on this cuz i only care about good football.

But between people’s attitude towards Vick and the first comment of this post specifically requesting a player to play so our not so great D can hopefully put him on the bench, I have had my fill.

I hate to play the race card, but in my time with this blog(very long time lurker) I have never heard anyone request an injury to Brady or Peyton or even Eli for that matter. All this combined with the complaining about the rooney rule earlier in November. its just been a sad state of affairs to me here over the last month.

All that being said, I’d even prefer no one to reply to this comment. We all gravitate towards like things and I in no way want to insinuate or stir up the idea that african american athletes are on everyones fantasy injury list. After all you guys have the same disgusting/distasteful hate for Ben “Rapistburger” right? I’ll go back into my corner now and hope for more football related comments.

I never said "I hope they injure McNabb"

I do hope he plays play crap so the redskins bench him

The "hate" is more for bad people

Rothlesberger (sexual assault) and Vick (dog killer), not black people.

this

don’t like McNabb because of his prior antics and the fact he played for the Eagles for so long.
don’t like Vick because he’s a dog killer

has nothing to do with race. your comment, however, is ignorant and racist

by strobman on Dec 15, 2010 4:24 PM CST up reply actions

RIght on, I really hated the way people here called Ben "Rapelisberger." They'd never do that to a black guy!

Ben is black, right?

Just to set the record straight, I hope

they put a big hurting on Eli Manning the next time they play him!

Has nothing to do about race, it’s all about the rivarly in the NFC East. I’m not one for any permanent injuries, but football is a rough, violent sport and seeing your most hated rivals getting hit hard is one of the things its all about. If you don’t get pumped up when DWare flattens the opposing quarterback, then maybe you should watch badminton or ladies field hockey or something!

If Grossman plays, easy W for the Boys

I read Stephen had a deal worked out with Shanahan to become the HC.

Jerry over ruled him and kept Wade, good move Jerry. I’d much rather have JG.

yep, Shanahan is way overrated

Denver is a mess without him and Washington with him.

Denver was a mess because of McDaniels

who is highly overrated as well. Most Belichick disciples are.

Its because he keeps the secret ingredient locked away

Bellicheck is just smart

You can’t teach IQ.

No matter how long someone studies under Bellicheck they’re not going to learn how to be smart if they’re not. And McDaniels’ track record shows he is an absolute fool. Running out Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall only to skip over Dez Bryant and trade your whole draft for Tim Tebow is not something any smart coach/GM would do.

McDaniels time in Denver has set them back 5 years.

probably more than that if Tebow doesn't work out..

hes taken a team with no defense and all the offensive peices in place and made it a team with nothing.

If I were a GM/owner, I'd never hire a HC under 40.

I failed in my quest to find a good counter example..

but Reid was 41 and Harbaugh was 45. Tomlin is under 40, but I just can’t give him too much credit

by foyesboys on Dec 15, 2010 6:37 PM CST up reply actions

I think Tomlin is an exception, no doubt he's a good HC.

My statement was, in general a HC needs to be at least 40. Some coaches can make it as a HC under 40 but most have failed.

Stephen had the right idea, just wrong solution...

Stephen was right to want Wade Fired, but wrong to want Shanahan (maybe—I am not ready to write him off after only one season in Washington).

by dave33 on Dec 15, 2010 4:20 PM CST up reply actions

I guess thats the positive way of looking at it...

the other way would be that he wanted to bring in the guy whose seemed more intent on ruining franchises his last few years as a coach than helping them. Shanahan was a disaster at the end of his tenure with Denver, and the struggles in washington don’t surprise me at all

by foyesboys on Dec 15, 2010 6:33 PM CST up reply actions

I read that too..

and it worries me very much. It makes me wonder whether this team will EVER be great again.

by foyesboys on Dec 15, 2010 6:32 PM CST up reply actions

I’m not sure what to make of this. Of course, I’m really not sure what to make of the ‘Skins in general. When Haynesworth’s suspension is a bigger story than their playoff chances, it’s fair to say they’re not having a good year.
My first thought was that it was a Shannahan trick to make the Cowboys do extra prep work, but I read that Grossman got a lot of first team reps last week as well. Seems Donovan is on a short leash.
I think I would prefer McNabb and his dirtballs. Even though most of the damage was done pre-Garrett, quarterbacks of Grossman’s ilk have had an annoying habit looking great against the Cowboys secondary. Plus, the Cowboys denfense has pretty well had McNabb’s number of late (but hopefully not his autograph).
