Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

If you can find me one rushing QB that's won a super bowl (hell even a MVP) then let me know. A QB should be mobile. Sure, but his stats should be coming from the passing portion of his game, not from his feet. Making plays doesn't win championships, sustaining drives does. Straight from Steve Young's mouth, and he should know something or another about QBs with mobility.

Well I think you're also looking at his rookie numbers and forgetting that was five years ago. Since then his completion percentage, passer rating, yards/attempt, TD/INT ratio...among other stats have all increased

...and his rushing stats, attempts, and completions have also decreased. He's still a sub 60% passer when it comes to completion %. Hell, if we want that, might as well keep McNabb around to be honest with you. The kid was benched....for Kerry Collins of all people..lol

This is one QB you aren't going to sell me on, and it's mostly due to his mental state. Would I cheer him on? Sure. Would I think it would improve us? Nope.

What you think is his mental state.

And technically he wasn't benched for Collins (someone else who used to get blasted for his maturity issues...largely related to alcohol abuse). Collins replaced him when Young got injured. But yes, it's true that when the 2009 season started Fisher could have gone with a healthy Young but went with Collins, again reiterating that Fisher never truly was on Young's side

I thought that was funny too.

Granted he was a heck of a passer too, but he sure had some legs.

2009 Season:

Kerry Collins began season as starter. Record = 0-6
Vince Young became starter after bye week. Record = 8-2
*averaged a QB rating of 89.3 during those 10 games*

Channeling my inner John Stewart.

Should have asked for two running QB's lulz. Still don't forget John Elway. You also might be able to include Big Ben and Aaron Rodgers.

Vince Young isn't the answer. Yeah he caught on last season and had somewhat of a rebound in 10 games. Point is the Titans deem him expendable still, and they are the opnly ones to have had to deal with him. Being benched to the like of a has been like Collins is just as bad as when Tarvaris Jackson was benched in favor of my man Gus. Oh yeah, that's right Gus went what? 8-3 til he got hurt and they had to bring in Jackson again? Bringing in VY is a big gamble at this point. And if he sucks, you are assured another 2-3 seasons of subpar Qbing. If he is a wreck you will then have to draft a QB and hope he is a gamer and not a Patrick Ramsey or David Carr.

Big gamble for a 6-10 team with no QB?

I don't see why it's a big risk at all.

If he sucks you cut him and move on.

That said I agree with SS, the longer the lockout goes on the less chance he ends up here. We'll likely ride things out with a stellar platoon of Beck and Grossman and both will probably see their fare share of PT.
