Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

I posted before that I felt strongly that our starting QB for next season was not yet on the roster. I thought we'd probably draft a QB in the 1st or 2nd Round and re-sign Grossman to start in the near-term. Now, I read that Shanahan is serious about Beck as the starting QB. I still can't believe it! I don't think that I'll allow myself to believe it until Beck takes the first snap in the opening game.

I suppose it's possible that Donavan McNabb has re-dedicated himself and is preparing to have a great season (as he claims) and that, somehow, he and the Shanahans can be reconciled and that Donavan can be our starter next season.

Or, perhaps we'll be able to trade for Carson Palmer or Kyle Orton.

But to have John Beck as our starter at QB is definitely the worst case scenario. I would prefer to have a pissed off McNabb or the journeyman Grossman as our starter, if that's the best we can do.
