How far can Beck take us?

With Beck or Grossman we are about a .500 team, max this year...and that's ok.. Seriously, take a look at our roster from January 2010 vs. our roster today. Shanny is setting things up, assuming this draft & FA crop develops to be a 'plug in the QB' roster away from competing. It's hilarious how people are acting like we just gave Beck a 5 year-$65 million extension.. He's basically on a 1 year deal, Clemens is on a 1 year deal, Rex will likely sign no more than a 2 year deal.. We aren't locked into anything. Beck is clearly a stopgap and if he performs, great. If not, the rest of the team develops while we bring in a rookie or vet next year.

Shanahan says he’ll stake his reputation on Grossman, Beck | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/29/shanahan-stakes-his-reputation-on-grossman-beck/)

It's really funny how, after years of bitching about spending money on self-entitled jerkwards who come in and are totally lazy bastards, who put no work and no effort into being the best, we finally found a guy who is a self-starter, who is motivated, who's working his ass off to make the football team and be a good player...and people shit on him.

The vitriol towards Beck is effing ridiculous. What the hell is everyone's problem with the guy? That he has the balls and the belief that he can be a starting quarterback?

"HAR HAR HAR, WHAT A LOSER! He wants to come to our team and is motivated to put in the time and effort that Donovan McNabb and Jason Campbell wouldn't to be a starting quarterback! What a maroon! What a jerk! Can't wait until we bench this guy and bring in another quarterback yet another football team didn't want! Because giving up draft picks and a signing a guy monster contract to a guy worked so well the first friggin time!"

What ungrateful pricks this fanbase must be, to crap on a dude who's only crime against them has been he has the audacity to believe he can be a starting quarterback. To ignore every circumstance of his time in the NFL and judge him based on four games his rookie year.

Let him earn the friggin' job, or completely suck balls, before we sit around talking about what a failure he is. It's starting to disgusting how so called fans of this team and the media at large are pretty much picking on the dude and ragging on him ever chance they get.

He's easily more motivated to be the best quarterback he can be than ANY of the Redskins starters since friggin' Mark Rypien.

Man, this Beck guy is hilarious. He has all the confidence in the world that's for sure. Let's hope he can show us more than "the best that he can" because that probably won't be good enough in the NFL.

You Go Beck....get your 15 min shine on!


He will SHOCK the NFL

I'm firmly on the Beck bandwagon. Hey why not, we tried the big name approach last year and it was a fail. We've got nothing to lose.

Me 2.. Guy seems smart and willing to work hard.. MS made Jake Plummer and Brian Griese look good so why not JB?

I agree.

Here's to hoping he proves a lot of people wrong.

At the very least he deserves a chance. For a franchise that has been playing the QB shuffle for the last 20 years, we shouldn't be discounting anyone.

He won't be as bad as Ramsey, Matthews or Banks thats for sure

Beck/Grossman is either going to be the stupidest decision Shanahan ever made or the most genius decision of his career. Or somewhere in between :D

He will SHOCK the NFL

He certainly will when he recks the train full of his bandwagoners in the preseason while Rex flys Redskin One into a 500 season.
