Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

Shoulda picked Mallett.

I'm not following how it makes the situation worse

Dosen't make Beck's situation any better or worse per say but, it does make it easy to understand how/why he like others who may not have had ample opportunity in the right situation can be sometimes judged prematurily.

Hey! dont get me wrong, I'm not on some type of John Beck crusade. :)
I've only seen the guy play once in Miami and that wasn't enough for me to know much about him.

I love that he's been training with Drew Brees and Aaron Rogers during the offseason.

I've got my fingers crossed that Beck shines for us. Not sure he's a franchise-type guy, but it sounds like Shanny loves the kid. The fact that we didn't select even one QB reinforces that.

Agreed. But if Shannyx2 didn't like any Qb's this year, we don't need him to be a franchise QB, just someone who capably gets us to this point next year.

Please notice that some of those guys are potential franchise QB's and we could draft them without tanking the season.

Sorry, I'll stop. But people who root for us to lose chap my hide.

I mean really, who wants to see us lose? Andrew Luck is much better than Newton but i think he will suffer some of the fate as Newton, get sent to a terrible team and have a huge bust rate because of it.

I know this has been said before so here's another post Don't be Surprised if Vince Young Becomes a Redskin - Hogs Haven (http://www.hogshaven.com/2011/5/1/2147219/dont-be-surprised-if-vince-young-becomes-a-redskin)

The same idea is going for Orton and Ponder. If it is any of them it better be Ponder.

Best College Quarterbacks That Will Be Selected in Next Year's 2012 NFL Draft | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/680705-2011s-top-15-college-quarterbacks-selected-in-next-years-2012-nfl-draft)

Here is next years quarterbacks. Some solid talent. I like Kellen Moore.

Lol, next years class always > this years class.

Barkley will return to school in 2012. Put it this way, not even NCAA sanctions could get Barkley to transfer away from USC and 2012 will be the first year that the Trojans will be bowl eligible. I seriously doubt that someone as highly touted as Barkley will bolt for the NFL.

Jones will probalby follow Bradfords lead and go back to school as well, especially with the rookie wage scale that will be in place for next years draft. Besides Leinart, Bradford, and Locker have all demonstrated that going back to school, even if you loose the national title, get injured, or have a terrible year, you will never fall lower then 10 once you become projected as a top 5 pick.

So after 2 of the top 3 return to school and 100% of people finally realize that Luck is out of reach then 2013 will become the best QB class ever.

Maybe it's the right decision to hold out on a QB, maybe it's not, but it is virtually guaranteed that a good amount of Skin fans will call the 2012 QB class weak especially when compared to the class that will be projected in 2013. Then in 2013 the cycle will begin anew.

Three consecutive years doesn't make a trend but that doesn't mean the people who said it are wrong.

vince young isnt any good. id rather stick with what we have than go for him.

John "dilligaf" Beck, omg, wtf.
