John Beck cut...signs with Texans

All of that doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is Beck looked good until the ball was snapped. It was that way for him in Miami and in Washington. 0-7 as a starter is a very poor ré·su·mé to have. How many quarterbacks who are starters in the NFL or even back ups who started can say they have lost every game that they've started? I can think of the worst quarterbacks still on an NFL roster who have won at least one game. But John Beck can't make that claim. Hopefully for Beck he's not done yet. But I'm wondering who will bring him in for a tryout?

Anne Hathaway looks very good until the ball is snapped. Maybe we should have drafted her.

I certainly would be willing to keep her on my team!

I feel a strong urge to hijack this thread so I just wanted to say I agree. Even if she sucked at pro football (highly likely) she'd be way more enjoyable than watching John Beck.

Goodbye and good riddance John. Welcome to our new launchers. I'm excited. Good draft as far as I am concerned.

Well , if Seattle got a 1st rd pick for R.Mirer ( Bears ), we should have gotten a 2nd for Beck :)

Rooting for the Dallas Cowboys should be recognized as a treatable mental disorder.

As far as rooting for the Cowboys being an abnormal behavior or personality disorder, yes Lotus, great idea! LOL. I will do my best to have this added to the upcoming DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) next edition, soon to be published. Too funny. p.s. +1 for Ms. Hathaway.

Cutler was already on Denver's team. But Shanahan supposedly liked Beck when he already had a quarterback. Still, if Beck was available, he should have taken him if he thought that highly of him. Jarvis Moss was a risky pick for Denver, but they selected him anyway and got burned for it. Shanahan's evaluation of talent is what eventually got him fired in Denver. This is the same guy who wasted a 3rd round pick on Maurice Clarette. I don't consider a QB taken in the 2nd round a top prospect. Top prospects are those picks taken near the top of any NFL draft or who are projected to be there near the top of a draft. I consider Eli Manning, Big Ben, and Phillip Rivers top prospects.

As I said, it doesn't truly matter because it's past tense and Cutler isn't even in Denver anymore and neither is Shanahan. What difference does it make in 2012? Does that justify enough assertion for you? And lastly, I don't agree with your claim that I place myself on some pedestal. How is that? As far as this year's draft, we can't truly grade the Redskins or the other 31 teams yet because we don't know which draft selections will pan out.
You asked a question, I gave an answer.
If Mike Shanahan really liked John Beck as much as he said he did back in 2007, why didn't he draft him?
So, I'll answer it again in even simpler terms: he valued Jarvis Moss more highly than John Beck. My previous answer gives more definition to what "valued" means, but that's the main point. Those three reasons provided in my previous answer, according to you, do not matter.

But since you do not care, why bother asking the question?

And your use of "it does matter" here is different. Now, it's the entire subject that does not matter instead of Cutler's presence, team needs, and Moss having higher value.

I think Steve Young can easily console him. lol

If I was a mod this thread would be locked. John the ginger was a crap player and it's a blessing he's gone.
