Start John Beck Madness Thread

I like Becks attitude and Rex is still uber sketchy...but the Skins are 3-1, Rex hasn't made them lose yet. so its not justifiable to pull him.."may have" and "almost" plays don't really count in my book.

Man, the backup QB really always is the "best player" on the team. "He can manifest throws from awkward positions..."

shakes head, walks away

I don't recall saying he was the "best player", just that there are indicators eluding to him being a better player than Rex. If you go back and watch the preseason film those throws are evident.

I'm simply making deliberate case to support a transition to Beck. I'd rather do that then throw out back handed remarks that ultimately amount to nothing.

I think we need to accept the fact that Rex is what he is, and neither Rex or Beck are the long term solutions here.

Couldn't have said it better. Shanahan did the right thing this past offseason, purge the team of the old culture, bring in a strong and deep surrounding cast that works with his system. It builds the foundation. Now he can go get the QB of the future who can come into a half decent situation.

Neither Rex nor Beck are going to win us a SB.

I'm not completely happy with Rex Grossman, but the Redskins are 3-1. Maybe the bye week will help improve on some things Rex has been struggling with. I believe until the Redskins start getting on a bad losing streak, it's probably smartest to stick with Rexy.

I didn't you said he was the best...and is that really so great an accomplishment? That Beck can complete an awkward pass every once in a while?

More of an accomplishment then having an active QB who can't.

If you go back and watch Beck in the last preseason game, you have an argument for sticking with Grossman.

Man, we are 3-1 and people want to switch the QB. Amazing.

Sitting Rex is exactly what we could use against a divisional foe.

What exactly would that say to the locker room?

Head coach makes a firm decision and chooses his starter.

The team starts the season strong and exudes an excellent sense of community and commitment.

Work hard, play for the men next to you and when you earn your starting spot the coaches will back you up with the exact same dedication.

Shanahan walks into the locker room. Wearing his two Super Bowl rings.

"Hey guys we've decided to throw an absolute NFL nobody into the fire this week......just to see what happens. This other guy what's his name again..John. yeah this John Beck character over here... that's right that 30 year old guy right over there hiding in his locker..the one sucking his thumb right now..yeah that guy..he has UPSIDE according to some of the fans. What do we have to lose guys! It's not like we could go 4-1 or anything. Ok good talk. I'm off to go get sized for a new clown costume."

Let's be reality.

SS you shook your head and walked away. Back lol? It is ridiculous that this thread has 3-4 times more posts than the Studs thread.

Not while Aaron Rodgers is under center. Guy has officially arrived as the leagues best QB.
