How far can Beck take us?

He hasn't had the chance for it to happen. Now's his chance.


He had his chances, just didn't get the job done, even on a befuddled Miami team. Shanny didn't like anything we could have landed in the 2011 draft at QB so he passed on a QB til 2012 and maybe 2013 to get another QB. Could Beck beat out Rexy? Sure he could, but the problem is that isn't saying much in itself. Rexy isn't the best starting QB in the first place. We acquired him to backup McNabb and give us an insurance policy of having a vet QB in there at all times. Rexy is #1 by default. WE are basically in between QB experiments. In spring 2012 our next QB experiment will be revealed, and we will only hope and pray this one takes. Every other QB "experiment" since 1993 has ended in mediocrity.(Shuler,Ramsey,JC, McNabb). I don't include Johnson or Brunell in there since they did get us into the playoffs. Frerotte was never intended to be the starter and had that thrust on him.

Y couldn't we just have had Rodgers in that draft? 1 pick ahead of us SMH

Beck is a disaster waiting to unfolding. It's not going to be pretty trainwreck so you guys best have hardened stomach. I can't wait for this clown to go away.

I can see why Shanny feels that Beck might have success in this league. Couple of things popped out at me...quick feet, good vision and quick release. I also noticed that he tends to telegraph his passes (tunnel vision) and his accuracy is a big question mark.

Normally I don't get very excited about pre-season games. This year is going to be different, mainly because of the QB situation. It's going to be an opportunity for this Beck/Grossman competition to play itself out in the face of some very competitive teams, somewhere along the line a victor will emerge.

Last flat out open preseason competition we had was between Wurfel/Matthews/Rosenfels. Fun to watch but hopefully the end result will be better this time around.

i'm pretty sure rex is our starter this season... i'm just not sure beck is good enough to pop in with almost no nfl game day experience can beat out an unproductive nfl starter.

just saying.

Just a really random thought...If Shanahan could teach Rex some accuracy and consistancy he actually could be a decent QB

All of this can be fixed with better coaching than what he had in miami am I right??

Regardless of whoever starts, there probably will be a QB change in about 4 to 6 weeks, so getting upset isn't really worth it. Both QBs have problems.

I'm surprised he thinks the job is Beck's to lose and Rex will be backing him up. I'm not so sure about that.

John Beck and Joe Theismann share one commonality....they both love to talk.
