If Ozzie Newsome and Bill Parcells is giving the guy away for a ham sandwich then that tells you something. I put waaaaaaaaaaay more stock into what they think vs. Kyle Shanahan. We'll see.

I see what you're saying, and in some respects I agree with you. At the same time, let's also keep in mind that not every Super Bowl MVP QB that has ever played the game started off that way in their rookie seasons or even the seasons after that.
Let's also keep in mind that Parcells wasn't exactly an offensive mind during his coaching years in the NFL. Yes, I give him respect because of his Super Bowl wins with the Giants, but I'm not so sure he'd be someone who you'd take his evaluations over someone like Kyle who works solely with the offense and is doing it presently in today's NFL. Sure, maybe Parcells didn't want Beck in Miami, but it's not like he picked an all-star QB to replace him either. As far as Ozzie Newsome is concerned, he probably is more of an offensive mind and could evaluate talent better, but again, his knowledge lays mostly with receiving.
Just give it time and see what happens. Just enjoy the fact that we're getting to see football and this team is going through a change for the better.
