Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
I voted for Beck. I liked his interview on the NFL network and the fact that he was willing to share the spotlight with his lineman. That is a sign of leadership. Also, I like his mobility and decision making in the Indy game.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
On Jan.20th 2010 this poll was conducted on which QB we thought would start the 2011 season. http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-l...he+2011+season
We've seen 1/2 of a preseason game from John Beck and the disparity, percentage wise, between he and Rex Grossman has shrunk tremendously during that eight month period. There has to be a good reason for that.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
Its too early to vote now,Becks played a couple qaurters,thats it,you cant base anything on that.If he starts against the Ravens and plays well we will know a little more,but not much,even that could be misleading.
I like Grossmans approach of looking downfield and stretching the field more,I hate the dink n dunk crap. Ive only seen Beck in one game,is it just me or does he have a wierd throwing motion? I thought a few times it looked like he was slinging some sidearm

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
Maybe, but I think the end result is basically the same. If there's a judgement there must be something to base it on.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
At this point I really don't care. Everyone is on the Beck bandwagon after one half of a pre season game. To me that's just ridiculous. I just can't judge a guy off that. I assume we're going to see both guys this year and perhaps one will seperate himself. But I really believe that this team needs to draft a guy next year.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
Beck for 3 simple reasons:
1. We've seen all that Rex can do-good and bad. We aren't in a position where the QB is going to be the difference between being a SB contender or being 3-13. We are probably firmly in the 7 to 9 win range so it's best to see what we have in Beck. 2. Beck seems to have the pulse and support of the team. Not trying to overstate things from one half of one preseason game but Beck has really stepped up to become a leader, Rex seems happy to just be part of the team. I want my QB to lead by example and set a tone. 3. I really want to shut up the Mike Greenburgs and Rich Eisens of the national media who keep singing the 'JOHN BECK!?!?' chorus like he's a guy we pulled out of the accounting department of IBM and plugged him in. I hope Mike and Kyle drop a big old 'told ya so' on those guys.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
Beck is the easy choice. We already know what Grossman is. Beck is more of an unknown...he could be better or he could be worse. Only way to find out is to play him. We can always turn to Grossman during the season if Beck is a flop.

Look closely and you'll witness some suggesting Beck should not even be on the team, to now suggesting he should be the starter. Your word is your bond.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
A lot has changed since then. Hard to hold opinions against someone given the circumstances then vs. now.

Re: Who do you want to start at QB?
There's not much of a premium on opinions therefore they need not be valued. I understand.
