Beck does offer an element of mobility that Grossman doesn't quite have.
And, I won't speak for others, but frankly I'm getting tired of being accused on hating (hatting) on ability to throw a down field pass. When all I said was he hadn't had the opportunity to do so against the Colts and I wanted to see him throw one. Because I wanted to do see what he could do.
I think it's pretty even but the edge probably goes to Beck. Still it's comforting, I'm sure, for Kyle and Mike to know they could go to Rex in a pinch and he can get the job done.

Don't take it personal. I don't think I ever said, quote:
"Smootsmack is hating on Becks arm strength"
I did see a lot of posts about how Beck couldn't get the ball downfield. I just watched the Stallworth play again, and if Stallworth keeps running, he's in way better position to catch that football. He slowed down for 2 steps I guess thinking Beck couldn't get it there. So I apologise if you took my comments personal Smoot. I didn't think you took all thousands of the Warpaths members comments as your own. Next time I'll make sure to exclude you from any comments made as a whole.
As for him not selling the play action fake.. When you don't have a lineman in your face then I think the PA was sold pretty well. I think both QB's are pretty exceptional at selling the PA at this point and being in the system for this long. It also helps to sell the PA when you have a guy like Hightower taking it 40+ yards in two straight games.
Option A: Take the slower Mobile QB in your rollout style offense, but obtain a better drop back passer
Option B: Take the quicker Mobile QB in your rollout style offense, and develop him better in drop back passing while he's still fresh and not on the last leg of his career.
Personally if Beck does pan out and becomes a potential franchise QB for the next 5 years. How much upside does that bring the the Skins and the future with all the young pieces in place?
TO much upside to Beck, to negate that he hasn't developed fully against the rush, and I believe that Austin makes the team because Beck has serious Chemistry with this young speedster with pillow hands.
