Start John Beck Madness Thread

I wish it were possible to give a thread a negative rating.

If anyone can make it happen, it's you! We believe in you!

What if my parents didn't meet? What if the perfect amount of cosmic material was not present to facilitate the Big Bang?

You can go on and on with "what ifs" and you will never reach any logical conclusion. In the end you make the best decision with what you have got, try to be as proactive as you can but if you are successful there isn't a need for change.Hey dude I was addressing your question.
It made more sense to answer in question form because I can only speculate.
Would it make you feel better if my answers to your questions were in the declarative:

If you have no problems with 3-1 why change? To me if you are content with where we are now why change what got us there?

The coaching staff is aiming for optimal performance now to avoid losses in the future. In short they're not content to merely win they're looking for optimal execution or as Mike Shanahan said they're looking for perfection.

Rex should have made more plays in the Cowboys game and that cost us the victory.

Beck can likely provide the plays missing from the Rex in the Cowboys game.

See now you're parents did meet.

-Cheers

I'm pretty sure Shanahan has already stated that he’ll measure Rex Grossman by wins and losses and he’s 3-1 this season.

I would agree that Rex needs to pick up his play though, especially in the second half of games, or we will lose games similar to those that we have managed to win.

Then, of course, his job will be in jeopardy...but not right now.

Redskins notes: Buchanon returns; Paul's blocking | John Keim | NFL | Washington Examiner (http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/nfl/2011/10/redskins-notes-buchanon-returns-pauls-blocking)

If there's one thing I've learned its that nobody, no matter who they are or what they do, is irreplaceable.

At this point in their careers Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, London Fletcher, Patrick Willis, Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, and it didn't seem too easy to replace the production of Peyton Manning either. There are some people whos overall contribution to their team can not be replaced.

If memory serves, when Brady was hurt Cassel came in and the team went something like 15-1. Brett Favre left and Rogers came in. When properly planned for the replacement is invisable, the Colts just didnt plan well. Time and the team goes on.

lololololololololol

Matty, You felt the same way about the Campbell threads too. But it turned out most people were right about him. He stinks. And it didn't take you long to fall in love with DM. altho that didn't go well either.

How the heck is any Redskins fan willing to put up with that crap again (Grossmans play) without at least saying something about it? I know it has been a long time but have some people actually forgot what it takes to win?

I know, I know 3-1...

Which is why I prefaced the statement by saying at this point in their career. Do you honestly believe that you could plug Cassel into this current New England roster, and he would put up over 1500 yds in 4 games? And yes over time anyone can be replaced, but I'm speaking currently, and not in the waning twilight of ones career. No one can predict the degradation of a specific player, but as things currently stand, because all we have is the present, do you believe any of these players could be replaced at this moment by another player currently on their roster, or through free agency, and maintain the same production?

New England went 11-5 the year Cassel played which is still pretty good

Who would you rather have, JC or Grossman/Beck?

I know you don't want to hear it, but at the end of the day yeah, 3-1.

Not much else matters after that.
