The Redskins haven’t won the NFC East in over a decade, but that isn’t stopping quarterback Rex Grossman from setting lofty goals for his new team.
“Nobody’s talking about us,” he said. “That’s right where we want to be. You look at us from top to bottom out here, there’s a bunch of great players. And we don’t need people saying we’re the best right now, but when it’s all said and done, I really feel like this team’s going to win the East.”
Grossman had high praise for Washington’s offense, ranking it higher than the Chicago squad he led to the Super Bowl in 2006.
“I look around, this offense from top to bottom is better than the offense I had in Chicago,” he said. “The defense is going to make a ton of strides this year. I know they are. It’s going to be fun. I know we’re going to be a good team.”
The Redskins finished 6-10 with Donovan McNabb under center last year and haven’t had a winning season since 2007.
