Beck having a year under his belt to learn the system from the sideline may in fact be ready to challenge Rex for the starting QB position. That said, I don't think they are just going to "hand the keys" to him without him winning the position over in camp. I do believe they'll try to bring in either Hasslebeck or Young to compete as well.

I was not trying to imply that Beck was not in their plans at all. Obviously they like him somewhat if he is still on their roster. I just don't believe he is "plan A" for opening day starter like the TV guys were specualting during the draft. I would imagine that every QB that ends up on their roster will have a chance to compete for the job.
