Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

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

You also told us to not freak out over the Zorn hiring and the drafting of Thomas, Kelly, Davis? What happened to blind optimism and giving people a chance. Are you out of chances for talented but unproven risk or do you just hate old people?

I thought I was pretty so-so on Zorn. And I still have faith in Kelly and Davis

But you shouldn't freak out over any of these things regardless

I did tell you to get excited about Torain though

No freak outs fun.....lead to chaos....Dirtbag like chaos. Panic leads to riots....riots lead to free stuff....whoa I'm sorry I don't know what got into me there.

All right well since you told me to get excited about Torrain I will tell you to get excited about a player that people may not be onto yet. Ryan Kerrigan, a young kid from Purdue with a great motor and lots of potential. I'm telling you not a lot of people in Redskin Nation are talking about this guy but I just have a feeling he's going to be good. He may even start one day. See I can find hidden gems as well :D

Beck....well damnit I wish I could show you guys but I'm having framerate issues with my computer. In the meantime have to convert HUGE MP4 files to Avi. Though part of me thinks that showing the "tape" will freak people out more.

Very few poeple outside of Skinsland think the Shannys are really going to go with Beck, and I have to concur. I can't see Beck being anything other than a fanciful project for the Shanahan's. You can say all you want about Kurt Warner, but that kind of stuff only happens once in a generation at best. I still say we go for Palmer, or Alex Smith at the very least. You will have to have at least another vet in there to go to if Beck is a flop and Rexy sucks. It is too bad things are the way they are with Donovan. If these newbie receivers make the team and can contribute he can get his groove back.

Cardinals game is up. I intend to do Grossman's week 15, 16, an 17 games but it's much easier to do the 33 snaps that Beck did during preseason rather then the 130+ snaps Grossman did this year so it'll probably take some time to finish all three games.

DB59-I used to have those games on DVR'd but I erased them already, so nice work posting.

Quick thoughts on Beck from the Jets game:

o quick, light feet; has very smooth footwork in his drop backs and can set-up and get to a throwing position quickly

o can move a little bit

o has a quick throwing motion and a compact delivery but he has 3/4/side armish throwing motion (which make his release shorter which makes him throw shorter then his height)

Throws I like:
@ 1:36 only a 5-6 yard hitch Roydell Williams vs Cromartie; accurate throw into a tight window but what I liked most was the velocity, the ball got there in a hurry. It shoes he can throw hard when he needs too.

@ 2:18 another velocity throw-from the about the 25 yard line to the goaline on a rope;
this throw is all about arm strength

He actually looks sharp, and I enjoy his quick release. He actually looks quicker on his feet then Mcnabb did.

The thing that continues to worry me is that deep ball. We'll see this preseason (assuming there is one) if last preseason was simply him not knowing the timing on the deeper routes or simply a case of Beck being a guy that isn't good enough to be a starting QB.

PS - 30 you need to be more specific about which Cromartie. I was watching the Cardinals footage looking for DRC, and who cares if you wrote Jets, it still doesn't explain your inattention to detail :D

Thanks Dirtbag for those!! I'd rather have Beck than McNabb any day of the week. Quick release, good mobility and accurate.
