Start John Beck Madness Thread

This thread is redic. We r 3-1. One pick was on him. I hate fans like you.

you're redic

If we were a super bowl team or A playoff main stay I'd say stay with Grossman. But we're not, I'd say it's time to make the switch. There is no more up side to Beck. We won't get any more yards, we won't score any more points, but he won't do his Brett Favre with down syndrome impression like Grossman often does. Just manage the game for christ sake. Run and Defense, no turn overs, and less 3 and outs and the skin win every time.

So if we're 3-1, then what's the justification for bringing in Beck?

The justification is his bone headed plays, and the team winning in spite of him doing everything possible to ensure that we lose the game. The guy is also getting very lucky, as in having numerous picks dropped in both the Arizona game and this one.

The guy just doesnt have it. Not what it takes to be a week in, week out winner in this league. Just imagine what this team would be capable of if the squad had a sound decision maker at quarterback...... I'm not even saying an all-pro!!! Just someone who doesnt fumble, throw directly to the other team, make boneheaded decisions.....etc...

3-1 is really good but the only time we've looked completely in control was the second half against the Giants and kind of in the first half against the Rams. It's not like we've dominated this season.

Dumb idea, and who cares about the media.

I think it was Bill Parcells who said if you think you have two quarterbacks, you don't even have one...something like that. You don't switch QBs unless there is a reason. 3-1 going into they bye leading your division with a QB that has decent but not outstanding stats is a move that will lose the team and probably more games than not in the future.

Rex is our guy unless he gets hurt.

That's a cliche and has little to do with our actual situation. Right now we're committing turnovers and we're not moving the ball through the air. I never understood why QB's are virtually immune from benching. Redskins were 2-0 with Doughty starting, and 1-1 with Landry starting. Should we bench Landry? I'm tired of hearing about QB records, all to often it's used as a justification for poor play.

Just look at the Titans without Vince Young. QB records only mean so much.

Awww thanks :)

Exactly -- every week its the same old BS quotes. "Yeah, I need to just go out and play" or something to that effect. Dude, if this is you just going out and playing, STOP!!! and think before you throw the ball. You can't hang on to the ball when you get hit, make really bad decisions in pivotal moments, and putting the ball in your hands in 3rd down is a guaranteed turnover (on downs or of the ball).

I wouldn't make a change until it costs us the game. At that point, I'd make the switch.

When a coach benches an all pro quarterback in a game where he just wasnt very effective, or he "wasnt in good enough shape to run the 2 minute offense" (Yeah, and grossman is the epitome of physical strength and conditioning, gimme a fvckin break), then I would say after the past two games we have seen from rex grossman, it certainly is well within the realm of possibility that he sits Grossman and gives beck his shot. Who knows, he could break out and be an above average quarterback for us. One thing I know for certain is that we will not keep winning games like this with the subpar qb play we have witnessed the past 2 weeks. We should count ourselves EXTREMELY lucky to be 3-1 at this point. Our record in NO WAY justifies that Rex Grossmans job is safe, for the fact that none of the wins can be attributed to his stellar play, and all of them save for the giants game COULD have EASILY been lost due to the mistakes he is so prone to making, like he is on cue. Those thinking that Shanahan will not bench Rex based solely on the fact that we have won 3 games at this point of the season is fooling themselves. Rex's play is SCREAMING "Bench Me", and I hope and believe that Shanahan will make the correct call, and put in John Beck over the bye week.

As for this season, you will not find a better time to install a new quarterback with your offense. We know that Rex Grossman cannot be counted on, but John Beck has yet to show that he is as mistake prone as Rex. If we can cut out the INTs, fumbles and idiot throws to the other team that they miraculously fail to catch, then we might just see a little more productivity from our offensive group.
