But he was the worst of the 3.

I don't think he'd be awful, just nothing great.

..but he was also the rookie out of the 3. That's why you don't start rookies on bad squads like that. Again, let the guy have a chance. If he can't beat out the competition in training camp, we'll know what the deal is then.

I'm totally for giving him a chance. Never said I wasn't

And again, I'd be totally thrilled with being wrong about him if he's our starting QB.

Hey, Beck beat out Bartel.

Not sure why that matters, but there were a lot of Richard-lovers here last preseason.

I sort of remember some guy named London Fletcher you expressed mixed emotion about, our leading tackler the last three years. :cool-smil

Umm....errr...um...I didn't want us to sign London Fletcher-Baker. London Fletcher I was totally cool with

To be fair though, after Trotter, Michael Barrow, and Jessie Armstead I didn't think luck was on our side with veteran linebackers

My faith in your assertions has in no way waned

We won't hesitate to remind each other about the finality of one/John Beck.

Their paths were much different, but I always think of guys like Tommy Maddox & Kurt Warner that became good nfl starters late in their careers. It could be that Beck is for various reasons putting it all together later in his career.

At the same time, we wouldn't be having this discussion about him if he & Shanny never said anything recently. We'd probably assume that he would go into the season competing for #2 & they would look to re-sign rexy as starter. That may still be the case but the public statements have drawn a lot of attention from skins fans & media. Beck has no had his name mentioned this much in his career.

Wow, 33 pages devoted to guessing who will fill one position.
When the player is finally revealed there will be much rejoicing and or teeth gnashing.

Sounds like someone has been reading Revelations.

You also told us to not freak out over the Zorn hiring and the drafting of Thomas, Kelly, Davis? What happened to blind optimism and giving people a chance. Are you out of chances for talented but unproven risk or do you just hate old people?

I thought I was pretty so-so on Zorn. And I still have faith in Kelly and Davis

But you shouldn't freak out over any of these things regardless

I did tell you to get excited about Torain though

No freak outs fun.....lead to chaos....Dirtbag like chaos. Panic leads to riots....riots lead to free stuff....whoa I'm sorry I don't know what got into me there.

All right well since you told me to get excited about Torrain I will tell you to get excited about a player that people may not be onto yet. Ryan Kerrigan, a young kid from Purdue with a great motor and lots of potential. I'm telling you not a lot of people in Redskin Nation are talking about this guy but I just have a feeling he's going to be good. He may even start one day. See I can find hidden gems as well

Beck....well damnit I wish I could show you guys but I'm having framerate issues with my computer. In the meantime have to convert HUGE MP4 files to Avi. Though part of me thinks that showing the "tape" will freak people out more.

Very few poeple outside of Skinsland think the Shannys are really going to go with Beck, and I have to concur. I can't see Beck being anything other than a fanciful project for the Shanahan's. You can say all you want about Kurt Warner, but that kind of stuff only happens once in a generation at best. I still say we go for Palmer, or Alex Smith at the very least. You will have to have at least another vet in there to go to if Beck is a flop and Rexy sucks. It is too bad things are the way they are with Donovan. If these newbie receivers make the team and can contribute he can get his groove back.
