We've made a TON of improvements everywhere...more 3-4 pieces, a better line, we're very deep at WR and RB now...just because we're going with John Beck (who Shanahan had rated as his #1 QB on his draft board in 2007)...doesn't mean we're intentionally trying to just forget about winning at all this year.

Beck could work out, we're building around him and he should have plenty of options to go to on the field. Protecting him will be the key. I'd rather see what he can do than toss out a failed QB like Vince Young or Matt Leinart. Orton is good when he has Brandon Marshall to toss bombs to, but otherwise has been mediocre.

Hey, if Trent Dilfer can win a SB, John Beck can.

One more quality CB and we'll have a GREAT secondary...Orakpo, Fletcher and Kerrigan are an awesome LB trio, the D-Line is coming together nicely...we have the chance to be very good this season.

I'm actually rooting for the team.

Why'd you quote that song? Santonio Holmes didn't sign with us. LOL

Dude at this point Young and Leinart are better QB's then Beck. I agree with you though if we could just sneak NA our D would be awesome and we only need a few points from the O to win games.

Maybe the Jets broke the bank on Holmes and now NA is up for grabs.

I agree about NA and building a great D to compensate for our iffy QB situation, but I'm going to support Beck until he proves he's a bust like Young and Leinart. He hasn't really had a chance to show what he can do. The 1-15 Dolphins mess he was thrown into was a no-win situation. He is in a FAR better situation here and so far, has been showing a lot of leadership in the "offseason". Lets see what he can do before declaring it a lost year.

And usually at least a dozen WRs...it happens every year.

Well done.

Clemens is terrible. He's either going to be the 3rd QB or not make the team

A wasted signing. Shoot if you were going to sign someone like that, might as well have signed Frerotte to a one year deal. Shoot he did a decent job subbing for Jackson in 2008. If he has anything left in the tank and is healthy, he would have been a better signing than this guy!!

Alright Gus stop pulling your own whistle and retire already. I think you're still experiencing side effects from the headbutt celebration back in like '98 or whenever.

I think Chapell has actually a good shot at beating Clemens on the roster...and I think Leinart is actually still in play.

how can anyone say Beck is a TO machine lol

[celts32]

Ugh...

[hail_2_da_skins]

Yuk! Shanny must truly believe in Beck. Bringing in multiple bums does not improve the team. There is a gaping hole at quarterback. I thought Shanny had a plan. If this is the plan, it stinks. The Skins have the worst quarterback in the division. How are they going to compete against Vick, Romo and Manning. Yuk!

Kellen Clemens was John Beck before John Beck was John Beck.

He's still younger than John Beck, and that's something that he'll never grow out of.

Better than throwing too much away for a FA QB who is not really a long term solution. And honestly none of them this year are. Save the ammo until there is something to shoot IMO.
