John Beck Era Begins

I saw that and was gonna say something but it's nice to see it's already been covered by everyone else.

One more never hurts. You can always beat a dead horse. It is an organism after all....

:bdh:

Sure recievers can cause interceptions, but F. Davis was being a bit generous w/Rex when he said two picks were on him. He was being supportive. Yes he could've broken up the first one, but the coverage was so obviously there. Rex has gotten away w/a lot of bad throws, there were 2 dropped by Iggles last week. The Arizona game in particular he had several bad throws that could've easily been picks.

The int. #s & wr drops will typically even out. Some passes are complete despite a bad pass, while some are dropped or picked off that might've been good decisions. I wouldn't put many of REx's mistakes on the recievers, he's made plenty of them by himself.

I think he will be better for these reasons:

1. He is more mobile. He can extend the play by pulling it down and running, as he did against the Eagles for a long run to extend the drive.

2. Beck doesn't say, "F&@# it, I'm throwing it deep into double coverage, or right into the middle linebacker I didn't see drop into coverage again." He can throw it deep but doesn't do it with the reckless abandonment that Rex is so well known for.

3. He is a game manager. He will make the throws he needs to make and let the run game and defense win the game as I think this is how our team is set up. (Note, injuries to the o-line do have a big impact on this and I would have loved to see how things would have been different this week with all our starting linemen and receivers in the game.)

1- Just to point out the first 4 games there really was not much of a need for Grossman to run around because protection was great. So there was no need to extend drives.

2- I'll give you this one. Grossman is more risky with the ball.

3- He didn't manage the 12 min. of the Eagles game very well. He scored so I give him props but otherwise I think he used too much clock huddling up like McNabb would do.

1. I know he didn't NEED to run around but I am saying that Beck can if he has to, Rex can not. That is a big plus for Beck IMO.

2. Thank you.

3. He also hasn't played since the preseason. I think that he could have hurried up a bit more, but it also helps if you've been in the flow of the game not holding a clip board for 4 weeks. I think that will come with 1st team reps in practice this week.

I will continue until you see things my way and I can say Thank you for all three points.... :)

Hard to run a hurry up or 2 minute drill when you may not have been practicing that specific stuff very much. I'm sure that will improve as he gets more snaps in practice.

yeah, and that's a coaching decision, it's not like he just decides they're going to run the 2 minute O.

Totally agree with you, but you might as well blame the coaching staff as well. I have yet to see a decent 2 min. drill out of McNabb, Grossman, or Beck. Which is my main point. I don't have a problem with Grossman being benched as much as I have a problem with people believing all our worries are resolved because now "Beck" is in.

Yes Beck scrambled for a couple 1st downs and a TD. Awesome. I hope he keeps it up. But honestly I just don't see much that will be changing because even though it's easy to blame Rex for his bad throws one could easily point and ask was it really the QB or the WR not running the route right? or the WR tipping the ball up for grabs? or just running the route waiting for the ball to land in their laps instead of going after the ball when the CB is going after the ball.

I think time management has been a huge problem with this team. Not only the last two years with Shanny, but with Zorn, Gibbs, etc. etc.

Now what do I expect to see this weekend? I think our run game will be about as good and bad as it has been in the first 4 games. The Panthers DL is bad and their run stopping ability is supposed to be low. However our OL does not have its starters which I'm hoping doesn't balance out.

The team needs to use Becks mobile ability to the teams advantage, roll him out. Use a lot of play action pass. Becks should be able to hit the WR's on the deep pass better as long as the WR can get seperation and provided the WR actually catches the ball.

Or sometimes it's just the QB making bad decisions. Rex has a well documented history of that. Hopefully Beck will be smarter with the ball.
