John Beck Era Begins

[mlmpetert]

I got to say im excited. I think of the problem Rex didnt work out is because his strengths were not utilized. I think the offense better suites Becks abilities but i really hope the coaches conform to Becks strengths.

Just out of curiosity what would you consider as Rex's strengths? I am not being snarky or sarcastic here, serious question.

Yeah i was wondering the same thing when i was originally typing my comment....

But i do think Rex is good at somethings. He gets the ball off very quick and spreads it around well. I also think hes fairly acurate within 15 yards. What makes him so bad in my opinion is the fact that you can count on him making extremely horrible decisions when given the opportunity. He also has very bad "pocket presence" combined with poor ball security. He is also bad at reading and throwing into zones. I personally think that while he likes playing football games he isn’t passionate about the sport, which can be okay for some skill positions (WR, Art Monk) but not for the QB position.

I guess im more saying that he was being forced to do things that we all knew he was bad at, rather than relying solely on his capabilities.

Haha ok so I will agree with spreading it around and being accurate within 15 yards. However the negatives have always outweighed the positives with him and I agree and think that KS was asking too much out of him.
