Beck had no chance in Baltimore with Joe Flacco. He's maintained he wanted to be in a position where he could eventually become a starting QB again. That was not going to happen there so he probably talked his way out.

what are you talking about? rivers, vick, ben, romo, ryan and even josh freeman are not "other guys." jason campbell is a better qb than john freakin beck. the guy got traded from balt. for some guy named doug dutch. the ravens have a legit front office and if they thought he could play then they would've kept him cause bulger is probably outta there.
we're not winning 9 games in the nfc east with john beck. give me a break.
I don't believe for a second that Shanahan would tank the season. Nevertheless, I can see how you might think that Shanahan must be trying to lose if he's planning to use Beck as his starting QB.

Personally, I still don't see what the hype is about Beck but maybe he's improved over the past yearI see far more people adamant that Beck can't play then people hyping him.
I don't see believing that Beck has a chance to be a viable option at QB is hype.

Maybe hype was a bit of a hyperbolic word to use there...he's no Chase Daniel though. There I said it

I dont see John Beck as a QB in the NFL but then again I'm not an NFL coach either.. Hope the guy plays well, I'm tired of BAD QB play

He can't be any worse than what I've witnessed from the position the last four years. If (and it is an "if") he plays fairly well and shows some promise he'll be accepted and you can brace yourself for the Shanny is a genius....headed to the hall post and threads.

You're joking right???? Wow. I think Beck can be better then Jason Campbell. No one is tanking anything. I said this before and ill say it again......ANDREW LUCK IS NOT GOD!!!!!!!! He's a great college qb. You never know how he will pan out. I bet Sam Braford has a better NFL career then Luck. I'm 100% behind Beck. He is an unknown and could surprise.
THIS! Thank you!
I really hate all this loser talk of tanking. If you advocate losing, then you are a loser. There have been so many "can't miss" players who flopped in league history any fool thinking that we should or would lose games for the sake of a kid really needs to get a clue. Tell you what, if you want the 2011 team to lose, don't cheer for them in the fall when they do well or you'll be called out as a hypocrite.
As for Beck, who knows if he even takes a snap, hell Rex could beat him out, but how about we get to camp before we start plotting 2012 draft picks?
I'll be so glad when this lockout is over!
I honestly thought this ridiculous tanking talk was done but....
