Re: How far can Beck take us?
 

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.

Re: How far can Beck take us?
 

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

Re: How far can Beck take us?
 

[quote=tc2deuce;820983]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.[/quote]
All of this can be fixed with better coaching than what he had in miami am I right??

[QUOTE=saden1;820981]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.[/QUOTE]

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.

[quote=NC_Skins;818764]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.[/quote]

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

I'm actually expecting several QB changes throughout the season. I say Beck starts, Rexy comes in at some point, Beck comes back in, same verse same as the first.

It's going to be interesting.

What about Clemens? He's got more starting experience than Beck I believe, and he could pass one of those guys on the depth chart. When he started for the jets I think he was about on Rex's level. Then there's Chappel & Verica. I would be surprised if one of those guys makes it as #3.

I think Clemens comes in if one of the other two gets injured. Of course, I'm not hoping for any injures, because I do think we're going to need more than on QB ready to go in at all times...possibly even all three.

I don't know anything about Chappel or Verica. One of those guys will probably make the practice squad.

For someone that hasn't done ANYTHING in the NFL he sure likes to talk. I like his confidence but I don't like his ability. A good friend of mine was out at the park last week and said Beck looked like a high school QB throwing the ball. And this guy use to be a high school football coach.

And what is Kyle Shanahan's qualifications for scouting QB's?

He's significantly more qualified than you or me, or anyone else here.

He works in the NFL doesn't he?

A BIG reason he's in the position that he's in is because of his dad. If not for his dad would he have been an offensive coordinator for two NFL teams? No.

He started out as basically a intern. He earned his way up the ladder.
