Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

Garrard was an "early round pick". He went in the 4th round in 02...


BTW, Marc Bulger also was a 6th round pick...Oh, I know.
I was wondering that could David Garard be the QB to named later contingent upon the CBA as part of the draft day trade?

This analysis could very well speak to the Redskins reasoning for passing on a passer in this years draft.

The QB situation in Carolina is going to be one worth watching. Newton vs. Clausen will be interesting in more ways than one. Some thought we should have drafted Clausen last year. Is it likely they feel the same way today? That same question probably will be posed around the league this time next year about this years selections.

In all fairness though, the labor situation is going to hamper the early development of many of these young players, especially QB's

He threw 70 Yards in college folks, that was 4-5 years ago. When he was at miami his arm wasn't close to as good like it was at BYU.

I don't post that often but no offense it often seems like you're loudly factual incorrect:

I'd love to go after Clausen...would even seriously consider Matt Moore but he may no better than a solid backup

I still like Clausen. He had next to no chance last year in Carolina. I don't want to give up the #2 pick Carolina spent on him but if they are looking to turn the page I would throw a mid round pick for him.

He threw 70 Yards in college folks, that was 4-5 years ago. When he was at miami his arm wasn't close to as good like it was at BYU.
His 61.1 mph was measured at the Combine. Sooooo, unless he had a traumatic injury prior to his Miami start, I just don't see how his armed died so quickly.

Just going by what we saw from him last preseason, I don't see anything wrong with his arm.

I see nothing wrong with Beck's arm. He does sometimes have that quirky 3/4 semi-sidearm release, rather than an over-the-top release, though.

At the very least we can understand why Shanahan might have ranked Beck above Quinn, Kolb, and Russel on draft day.

Also funny to see Kipers best available during the draft.



I feel that you're right to be skeptical as it relates to Beck. However if arm strength is what you're worried about, well lets just say Beck has you covered

From the 36 YL to the 1...that's 63 yards exactly.
