Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

I've seen where Young is great. I haven't seen it from Beck. Yes, Young is unpredictable and who knows how he'd handle the pressure here. But give me high-risk, high-reward over medium risk-medium reward anytime.

I mean honestly I don't want Beck in the equation, but I don't think he's going anywhere even if he's not starting


The reason you haven't seen Beck be great is because he hasn't had the opportunity. You put VY on that same Miami team and he'll be lucky to walk away without permanent injury. Beck wasn't fortunate like VY where he's had a owner that pressed for him being picked at the #3 spot and pretty much forcing their coach to play him the whole time. I'd imagine you'd see Beck perform on many occasions had he been on the Titans.

He would not be able to handle it here. No freakin' way. The guy is too immature and is soft as butter.

Whether VY is "soft as butter" or not, I don't know if I'd put it all on him. After all, Fisher ended up leaving too. But I agree w/your general assessment, how will Young handle Shananhan's stern, no nonsense approach?

My personel opinion is that we may go after a Matt Hasselbach(SP). Shanny knows a lot is riding on this season, and he has to improve. I think with the expectations being somewhat scaled back than in previous seasons, if shanny can make a splash with a veteran QB this coming season, get to 500 or a game better, he can draft a QB next season, sit behind hasselbach a year and learn. We have money to spend this season, and according to sources we are going to spend it when the time comes. which means a QB, CB, and Olineman.

A big reason why Fischer left is because he was trying to bring his son more into the picture than what Bud Adams allows. Hence the breakdown between them even after Bud said VY wasn't coming back.

Maybe a change of scenery would do him good. I don't think he's quite as immature as he's portrayed to be

Some see it as he didn't get the opportunity, I see it as he didn't take advantage of the opportunity

This is a good omen when SS has reservations or mixed emotions about a player. Remember last time??

I might would agree with you, but you are missing one key point. Three different QBs played that same season and all had the same results. Tells me it wasn't the QB spot.

Uh I don't actually. Probably that other Mormon...Maake

note: I don't have any problem with Mormons, so don't get it twisted
