Following up on
the ongoing story. ... Nothing screams Lockout 2011 more than John Beck and a vaguely depressing QB controversy in Washington. Cindy Boren of the Washington Post has dubbed it QB Controversy Lite, and the various interviews from Beck has helped fuel the fire the last few days. Grossman, the forgotten man, finally chimed in Wednesday. “If you ask me, I definitely feel like I’m the starter, but I’m not even signed yet. I’m assuming a lot of things here,” Grossman said on ESPN 980, via Boren.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Grossman called Beck a “great guy” and would expect him to say he’s the starter too. When asked who should be the starter, Grossman made it clear he expects to be back in Washington. “I’m not going to say John Beck. I’m going to say me if I’m going to pick somebody. I would like this to be answered by the coaches and decided by competition,” Grossman said. ... Still, as PFT's Gregg Rosenthal suggested, if the Redskins saw Grossman as the starter, they would be quietly pushing him as the starter through the media like they are with Beck (or much like the 49ers are with unsigned QB Alex Smith).
