How far can Beck take us?

My best guess is that Shanahan looks at the organization and knows that there will not be a direct impact with the current roster he has. He tried last year with McNabb but no results were acheived. First and foremost, I don't think Shanahan believes that Beck is the answer. In fact, I think openning day starter will be Grossman. Secondly, 3 and 13 or 4 and 12 will probably land us the number 1 or 2 pick in next years draft which is stocked with good QB's primarily Andrew Luck and Landry Jones.

QB is the most important position on the team, with Beck's inexperience, I can only doubt that he will not provide the necessary leadership to make the Redskins a playoff caliber team.

Leadership is not directly correlated with technical expertise and proficiency. Beck's inexperience is due to a perceived lack of ability and proficiency.

Just heard on ESPN 980 that in training camp today, John Beck tossed two, perfect over-the-shoulder bombs to Armstrong, -- who dropped it; and Hankerson, -- who bobbled it, and landed out of bounds.

Also looked really sharp on play-action roll outs to the right side.

He also threw 2 INTs to D-Hall. :silly:

I heard that Beck was not doing well on long passes.

Camp is just getting started, I wouldn't read too far into these updates. Seems like opinions on Beck differ depending on who you listen to.

Seems to differ depending on who likes Beck's stuff and who doesn't.

There is a short piece in today's Wash Post saying the same thing. Not good. In a QB league I just dont see how the Skins can expect to compete without one.

We have not even gotten to preseason games yet...calm down, people.

Spurrier's offense was lighting up everyone at this point. That ended well.


Besides, we just had a huge lockout. There's bound to be rust even with the pickup games they played over the summer.

Give Beck a chance. If he fails, Rex is there. :D
