Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

Not sure why you call Shanahan a QB developer. None of the QBs that him or Kyle have developed have become anything overly special. I mean take away Elway, and Shanny hasn't won a damn thing with his development projects. I mean this is really borderline pathetic in how we are looking at our "savior" in terms of reality to what he actually has done with Qbs. Mike Shanahan is a decent coach, and I do think he can get us to be a contender, but he is no genius at developing QBs. Orton is a good QB, but not sure he would lead us to a SB, much less John Beck. Same thing with Cutler, above average, but nothing like a Manning or Brady.

Elway also played some of his best ball with Shanahan. Sure Shanny didn't win SB's without Elway, but vice versa is also true.

Elway wins 2 SB's under Shanny and none before says something right there as well as the Steve Young connection.

As for looking at some John Beck footage you might want to look at this too. Johnny's last full game, the 4th preseason game against Atlanta, sure it was preseason but his first drive was against the Atlanta starters while he was using both starters and second stringers. I will let the Video speak for itself.

Good get.
Thank you

Beck looks like he has a hella quick release, and his drop is even faster. I like what I saw form Beck and if I would of seen these video's last year. I would of been calling for him to play the final 3 games.

same here BUCKET. My bad on Beck looks like he's pretty good

I hope I'm wrong on Beck, but I'm not sure I want to cash all our chips on a 30 year old who's barely played. I can't imagine we're putting this much faith in him. By we, I mean Kyle and Mike. But if that's the case, I hope he's Trent Green, not John Friesz.

I don't really care for Beck,hes not the answer for our team.We really havn't had a good QB since J.T

Oh come on, it'll be fun. And I'm actually kind of serious. I love the idea of going in with a talented underdog that is completely under the radar. He can move, put touch on his throws, anticipate routes, throw deep when he needs to, and he studies like a madman.

I'm picturing Marty Ball with a more creative passing attack. If we can go 8-8 with Tony Banks as our QB then we can certainly go 8-8 with John Beck running the Shanahan offense. Besides it's not like McNabb set the bar real high.

Of course I would prefer a rookie QB with tons of upside learning on the sidelines but you can't have everything. Though I still fear a repeat of the Wurrfel, Matthews, Ramsey carousel. Okay so my faith is a wee bit shakey sue me.

How can you overlook Mark Rypien, Doug Williams, and Brad Johnson?

^ and even M Brunell

I'm all in with the MS plan. Going to run with Beck in my Madden Franchise...on ALL MADDEN level!!! Take that!
