Re: John Beck Era Begins

Overall, I thought Beck did very well for his first start since 2007.

Started out a little rocky with the fumble and the one pass he through right into the LB's chest but was luckily dropped, but he settled down and moved the offense efficiently despite not having Cooley, Moss, Hightower and a couple of good offensive linemen. The main thing that was obvious is his mobility (2 rushing TDs already) and how he uses that mobility to give himself more time to throw. He makes smart throws most of the time and is very accurate. Beck is a big upgrade over Grossman and it's not even debatable. He's smarter on the field, he's more accurate, more mobile and can move the offense in a smart way, rather than the all-or-nothing way that Rex runs the team.

He'll get better every week. Remember, he's still basically a rookie, possibly could consider him a second-year player. He's had 5 starts. I'm looking forward to watching him all year. When he gets some weapons and Trent Williams back around him, we should be able to make these FGs into TDs.
