Title: Beck Starting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting. Post by: StL FinFan on May 01, 2011, 12:15:35 pm http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-20110501_is_mike_shanahan_serious_about_starting_john_beck_at_qb
I would think it was a joke if it were April 1 instead of May 1. Do you guys think he is serious or is he blowing smoke? ??? edit: fixed typo in title Title: Re: Beck Sarting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting. Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on May 01, 2011, 01:49:02 pm Beck has four starts. All four was several years ago when he was a rookie and his first start was with an 0-9 team that had given up on the season. I would hardly consider that a fair assessment of his abilities. It is quite possible he has shown in practice (which we would not have seen) enough for a coach to concluded he can play as an NFL starter.
You could have put Brees, Brady or Manning on the Dolphins week 10 of that year and the results would not have been much different. The players and coaches had given up at that point.

Post by: StL FinFan on May 01, 2011, 02:31:34 pm So many people called him a deer in the headlights, I started to believe it, even though I thought he didn't get a fair shake. With our luck, he will turn into a beast.

Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on May 01, 2011, 02:40:25 pm So many people called him a deer in the headlights, He was a rookie on a team that was an utter disaster. Add four years of coaching and practice and he MIGHT be a different player. Impossible to know what he is really developed into unless you were at the redskin's team practices last year.

Or...he MIGHT be the same Bambi on Route 66 that he was while in Miami. Cameron Wake kinda looks like a truck... Title: Re: Beck Sarting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting. Post by: BigDaddyFin on May 01, 2011, 11:34:38 pm definately worth watching. However I'm not convinced that the Redskins were that much better than we were when we had him.

Title: Re: Beck Starting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting. Post by: Pappy13 on May 02, 2011, 12:17:10 pm I'm happy for him. I always liked him. There's no question he was overmatched as a rookie, let's see what he has now.
Title: Re: Beck Starting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting. Post by: MikeO on May 02, 2011, 07:32:44 pm He sucks! The guy can't play. Anyone who thinks he will have any success with Washington is fooling themselves or doesn't know NFL football
He couldn't make it in Miami or Baltimore, but now Washington...lol. Title: Re: Beck Starting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting. Post by: BigDaddyFin on May 03, 2011, 12:54:09 am ^^^^
Those who know NFL football wouldn't have made that statement. ;) Title: Re: Beck Starting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting. Post by: dolfan13 on May 03, 2011, 07:15:59 am this is just the redskins going all in to suck for luck.

However I'm not convinced that the Redskins were that much better than we were when we had him. But he has had two years of developing under Cam Cameron in Baltimore if I'm not mistaken. Also, isn't he in his 30's right now? If I recall correctly, he was 26 when he was drafted. Title: Re: Beck Sarting for Redskins? This ought to be interesting.

If I recall correctly, he was 26 when he was drafted. Correct on the Cam Cameron thing and he is either approaching 30 or just turned 30. But he also hasn't started very many games. Also remember who he's playing for. Mike Shanahan might not be able to do much but if nothing else, he can develop a quarterback pretty quickly. Title: Re: Beck Starting for Redskins?
