Re: How far can Beck take us?
 

He's sticking his neck out for him because he believes he can play.

If Shanahan showed one thing last year, it's he's not a good liar.

So I tend to believe he's serious about Beck, and KS was also a big fan of Beck prior to him coming here.

Crazier things have happened. Not sure why so many refuse to believe he could actually be a decent starter.

[quote=skinsfan69;818461]Yes he does but to me this is almost a little too ego driven.[/quote]

Personally, I like that.

Hey **** you guy! I'll have you know that I've won 4 consecutive Fantasy Football leagues, and have been the Madden tournament winner 3 out of the past 5 years! I'm the best arm chair GM you'll ever meet and that alone makes me qualified for a position as a Coach/GM/Talent Evaluator!!! I won't even mention all the Dirtbag59 game film I've gone over.

Former Redskin Patrick "If only I got a fair shot I'd be an all-star" Ramsey?

Damn he must be good then! I retract my previous statement based on the grounds that I was unaware of Kellen Clemens' accomplishments. Up to this point I thought Clemens' only accomplishment was teaching Brett Favre how to send picture messages on his phone.

What the hell do you want the guy to say "We will stick him in there and hope we get lucky and that he is better then people think".

The "John Beck is Doomed" Club is down the hall and to your right. Better hurry to catch a seat as it's already filling up.

Well, it doesn't help that he hasn't taken a regular season snap since Joe Gibbs was our head coach. Sure there's a chance he could be a Tony Romo or Trent Green, but don't you just get the feeling that if it was going to happen for him, it would have already?

Of course he would never say that - - but it would be a refreshing change of pace to hear it once in a while.

Ken Whisenhunt might have said it last year with the Derek Anderson/MaxHall/John Skelton tandem last year - - excpet he could have included all three in that statement.

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

Now's his chance to compete for a starting job anyway. And I don't think he'll win that competition.

Re: How far can Beck take us?
