The whole Beck thing confuses me

I get not drafting a QB in this draft, didn't like the class much. Dalton had some questions with arm strength, level of competition etc. I don't think anyone expected him to perform so well.

The Beck thing seems like a matter of Daddy and Jr. trying to work together as co-OCs rather than having a unified direction. Daddy is Zone run, PA. Jr. is spread & throw. Daddy liked Beck, Rex is Jr's guy. When Rex was crapping himself, Daddy said let's give Beck a shot. Problem is (as we found out), Beck is a better fit for Daddy's system, not Jr's. What we also found out is that Daddy appears to be committed to Jr's system even if we continue to stick circle pegs in square holes. What needs to happen is Daddy should take control and essentially make Jr as postion coach (QBs) and call the plays himslef. Jr needs to sit back and learn the run/PA game and when we have a QB, then you can open up and let Jr have his headset back.

Bottom line, with no QB, Jr's system won't work. Plus, I believe power run mixed w/PA & balanced passing is the way to go in the NFC East. I don't want to say "suck for Luck", I think Indy has that locked....but my feeling is Rex is back in because he's the best option in-house to execute Jr's system so the young guys can get prepared for next year....when we hopefully have a QB.

Rebuilding is tough, but it is what it is. That being said, if we're in the same boat this time next year, I think Daddy & Jr are out.

And I'll throw this out too, if we're in the same boat this time next year for the money DS is paying the coaching staff (particularly the HC). You give me half that amount, and I guarantee I'd have a young, hungry staff in 30 days that could field a competitive team with the players in-house.
