I will start with "Beck sucks!"

I said from the beginning, benching Rex was a HUGE mistake. The team was 3-1, when he was benched against Philly. 3-2 when they named Beck the starter. 3-2, and the starter is benched. That was a knee jerk reaction and the offense hasn't looked like it has had any flow at all. Beck refuses to throw balls down the field, and holds on to it way too long. He had several throws deep yesterday and just didn't throw it. He doesn't seem to have good vision in the pocket at all. When team stack 10 people within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, and you can't hit a couple or hell take a few shots down the field.....thats horrible. I dont think it was shannahan's play calling either because I saw receivers running down the field.

It is time to put Rex back in and see what he can do the rest of the season. I think HE gives us the best chance to win, not Beck.
As far as playing the younger guys, absolutely agree. Helu looked good all around. Would like to see him get 20 carries a game, but that wasn't happening yesterday. Hankerson looked solid.

Its going to be a process, which I think Shanahan should be given every opportunity to complete. He has had 1 1/2 years, that is way to short of a time to throw him under the bus. You need a few good drafts and offseasons to really get the talent to compete. He has done a good job of getting young talent, its time they play and get them the experience they need.
