How do these guys have jobs?

For instance, why does Ron Turner have him throwing outs when its clear he throws best across the middle? Why do they put him in predictable passing situations? Why is there no speed out of the backfield to compliment the power of Benson?

The receivers are quitting on the routes because they don't have the confidence that Rex will deliver the ball where and when it is supposed to be delivered. It is as simple as that.

He needs to watch film, develop better chemistry with his receivers and he needs to sit on the bench for a few games and get his head straight. Right now, he and everyone else are sitting and waiting for him implode every time he trots out there. He needs to regroup. At this point, he needs to lose his job for a while.

I feel the opposite about Grossman. I watch him plenty and have always thought that (to paraphrase Denny Green) he is who I thought he is...a guy with no clue, bad fundementals who played with overwhelming talent against simple schemes in college who is simply overmatched in the pros. He may have arm strength but even a novice like me watches him throw off the wrong foot and get happy feet in the pocket and rush everything. He never lets the game come to him and if they dont have the defense on run, he is brutal. I just cant see what the guys who defend him see.
