[quote=Ruhskins;843483]Rex was responsible for one pick. All I want out of Rex is a game manager, but I don't think that KS' play calling is helping with that.

And what happens when we get Beck? We get another game manager.[/quote]

At some point your QB has to be able to make plays and Rex can't consistently do so. We're not good enough for him to be a game manager. At least Beck can get out on the edge w/ his mobility and has the bigger arm. The bigger upside is w/ Beck.

That's the whole problem, you don't know if that "prevention" is actually a "prevention". It very well could make the symptom worse and not be a cure. Until his play costs us a game, you don't make the switch.

I think you are giving Beck too much credit.

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

I still can't figure out what Beck has done that makes so many people think he is going to make this team so much better, or that he is a better option than Rex. Is it his career 56% completion percentage, his 1-3 TD to INT ratio, or maybe it is his whopping 111 yards passing per game played. I know, I know...it is because he runs the bootleg better...Yep, better get him in there against Philly next game. CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Pfffff...

Uh, why are you bringing logic into this thread?

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

First INT wasn't his fault and the second was a timing route and the LB made an amazing play. I am less confident in Kyle Shanahan than I am Rex.

They'll have to cover for each other somehow to limit costly mistakes.

2nd time logic has been brought into this thread! Stop it people, this thread is all about irrational decision making and the belief that the backup is always better than the starter.

Re: Start John Beck Madness Thread
 

Or maybe Beck should be in there because he only averages one fumble per game and his passer rating is a cool 62%.

I say they bring back Cult Brennan. It's the only way to be sure.

John Beck = Cocaine = Winning at life.

You have a lot to learn about the real world. Crap my nose is bleeding.

[quote=SmootSmack;843769]The problem I have with Beck is that he's a Mormon and those white Mormon choir boys are too prissy to be good leaders...

Hell...the first time I saw that, I thought we traded for...Steve Young
