Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

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.

But he was the worst of the 3.

I don't think he'd be awful, just nothing great.

..but he was also the rookie out of the 3. That's why you don't start rookies on bad squads like that. Again, let the guy have a chance. If he can't beat out the competition in training camp, we'll know what the deal is then.

I'm totally for giving him a chance. Never said I wasn't

And again, I'd be totally thrilled with being wrong about him if he's our starting QB.

Hey, Beck beat out Bartel.

Not sure why that matters, but there were a lot of Richard-lovers here last preseason.

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

I sort of remember some guy named London Fletcher you expressed mixed emotion about, our leading tackler the last three years. :cool-smil

Umm....errr...um...I didn't want us to sign London Fletcher-Baker. London Fletcher I was totally cool with :)

To be fair though, after Trotter, Michael Barrow, and Jessie Armstead I didn't think luck was on our side with veteran linebackers

My faith in your assertions has in no way waned :) We won't hesitate to remind each other about the finality of one/John Beck.

Their paths were much different, but I always think of guys like Tommy Maddox & Kurt Warner that became good nfl starters late in their careers. It could be that Beck is for various reasons putting it all together later in his career.

At the same time, we wouldn't be having this discussion about him if he & Shanny never said anything recently. We'd probably assume that he would go into the season competing for #2 & they would look to re-sign rexy as starter. That may still be the case but the public statements have drawn a lot of attention from skins fans & media. Beck has no had his name mentioned this much in his career.

Wow, 33 pages devoted to guessing who will fill one position.
When the player is finally revealed there will be much rejoicing and or teeth gnashing.

Sounds like someone has been reading Revelations. :D
