If someone is depressed enough to the point of being suicidal, that doesn't necessarily mean they are mentally ill.

He did not throw his pads at the fans, he tossed his jersey and pads to his agent's son as a gift

Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks right now except for Shanahan, and he thinks Beck looks the part. We'll know soon enough who's right or wrong.

Amen to that!

This situation is the mirror image of the Colt Brennan situation. Here the coach wants Beck as the starting QB and some fans think Beck is a stiff. A couple of years ago, the coaches believed that Brennan was nowhere near good enough to play in a real game but some fans thought Brennan would be an All-Pro if only given the chance.

Coaches make decisions with regard to players. That is what they get paid to do...

That's actually the first time i heard that information. I did not realize thats why he did it. I remember when they made a big deal about it at the time. Had no idea...

Brennan would have been an All-Pro!!! He was never given a chance, Brennan was the 2nd coming of P. Ramsey (who also was never given a chance) and the 3rd coming of Johnny U. who got a chance and showed real moxie!!! <sarcasm font off>

Sorry to digress, couldn't resist.

On topic, I don't see Beck being the next Garcia, Plunkett, or T. Green. However, I don't make millions of dollars to make these calls and will, for now, trust in the guys who do. Also, I won't judge Beck right out of the gate, but, if he is sucking it up by game 6 and we have no one to replace him, I may be just a mite peeved.

Shanahan says he has a plan with Beck, fine. Given Beck's prior lack of production, I hope Shanny has a back-up plan as well.
