What's your opinion now thread starter? Ironically, the "12" (th) Man on this team is John Beck.

Shanny sounded like he never wants to see Rex again and IDB him

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

[quote=GTripp0012;848287]If today didn't provide enough evidence that Beck can't make the throws necessary to lead the offense, this is going to be a long season of trying to explain to people that the QB situation sucks.

Look, John Beck lost a QB competition to Rex Grossman five years into his career. Might the Redskins have no choice but to turn to Beck and hope for the best? Perhaps. Does that mean that our offense is so incredibly limited that we have no choice but to play a career backup? That's the obvious read here.

If the offense is so inept that Grossman is going to be put in bad situations where he can turn the ball over all season, then it's not an offense that is going to make Beck a success story. If we're making a quarterback change to limit the damaged caused by the quarterback, then fine, play John Beck.

But then we need to realize that the bar for the offense is being set at "I hope we have fewer turnovers than touchdowns." Such is the only standard in which Beck can achieve success.[/quote]

Ummmm you start Beck because you have the worse QB in the league leading the offense. I really dont think this is really that complicated. A) were not building for the future with Rex b) Rex statiscally has been the worse or near the worse QB in the league. c) What do we have to lose, we are 3-2. We werent lead to that record because of Rex.

Is there even a Q who to start?

I know how he feels. He's kicking himself for not going with his gut feeling. I think this is the best scenario for everybody.

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

I'm in it for Beck.. No matter if we lose every game. I don't wan't to see Grossman ever again.

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

The QB of your team is a extention of the coach so with that said I think Beck will get his 1st start next week. He gives the offense more mobility and can keep the play alive. Beck also can run for a 1st down when needed something Rex will never do. I have to say Rex is holding this team back from being a true contender this season. It will be up to Beck to take this thing a run with iit, if not he will be a back up QB for the rest of his NFL career.

Unless he plays like Timmy Brady reincarnate for the rest of the season I doubt he's got a bright future here. Lets face it, I think Beck at best could play slightly above average football here, and that's not going to be enough to keep the job when we are entering a draft with a lot of good, long term options at qb. Luck will be off the board but that just means one less qb needy team to compete with us and the other qb needy teams in the draft.

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

i dont think beck is gonna be any better in terms of end results. i think rex and beck will get us to the same spot, they will just take us on different routes to get there.

honestly i hope they are working on a 3rd option. no trading or anything but bring in some guys and kick the tires. i wouldnt sign garrard or anything either .. a couple of the best cheap available guys .. . but its 6 weeks in and we just had our bye . . . prolly not happenen

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

One thing I don't like is Grossman had, what I would say... Above average to good protection this year so far. He hasn't been sacked a lot, and he gets the time to throw on most big plays. It just seems that he isn't making those plays.

Now you have Beck coming in who looked 110% more poised today, but will be behind two backups on the O line that basically was keeping Rex's uniform clean all year.

I just can't imagine Rex behind the o line we will have in the next coming games if he couldn't get it done with time... What's it going to turn into when he doesn't have it? He isn't exactly going to run for a first down like Beck did today, or stretch the play for a 50 yard pass down the sideline.
