Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

I honestly thought this ridiculous tanking talk was done but....

It is not and for some reason it is taking up two threads. :doh:

May just have to rewalsr the cracken !

The other part of the Luck equation is that if a team actually, purposely tanked to get the first overall pick and draft him, he's got a year of eligibility in his back pocket to avoid having to play for such a loser organization.

Perhaps Andrew Luck should tank his season so he'll drop in next year's draft and get picked by a good organization.

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.

I hope he does surprise us but I just don't see how Shanahan and co. can sit there with a straight face and give this guy the job.

Hilarious!

so you think we're going to win 9 games w/ our qb situation? if you do then i think you're hilarious!

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.

No kidding but if he had any ability don't you think they would've held on to him as a back up?

Didn't work for Jake Locker, he went to the Titans. :cheeky-sm

No kidding but if he had any ability don't you think they would've held on to him as a back up?Beck went to the Ravens mid-training camp. He was behind Troy Smith who was gonna be the starter and behind Joe Flacco the QB of the future both of which were selected by the Ravens front office.
Then they had the chance to get a proven starter like Mark Bulger.
Beck was the odd man out caught in a numbers game.

It doesn't mean he can or can't play just that he wasn't in a situation where he was gonna get a real shot.

There are a finite number practice reps/snaps in an NFL practice and the lions share goes to the starter then the QB of the future or back-up then if there are scraps then the 3rd string QB can get a look running his teams offense.
Otherwise they're running the scout team w/ a simplified version of the teams next opponent.

Hey 30, do you mean Jared Gaither in your sig? Or is there someone named Jeremy Gaither that I don't know about.

Clabo would be something else, not sure he leaves though

Starting to hear Harris may not be so definite here, but as I've mentioned in the past, Jammal Brown is likely to return so maybe no room for both?
