Re: How far can Beck take us?


Okie, I think the comments posted after the article says it all. The one guy asked did Shanny watch the tape of McNabb, another said the same of Clemens. To think the Tuna or Harbaugh doesn't know QB talent is a stretch. Sorry dude, but I think Shanny is trying to spin this to not admit the season might be a long one. I don't think we are going to take a fall for Luck, but we are going for mid round pick again. We are rebuilding still and will be for another season or two. We still have depth/talent issues at DB.

To think we ditched probably better QB prospects over the past few seasons(Brennan, Daniel) to end up with Beck and Clemens is rather sobering.

Re: How far can Beck take us?

If the philosophy for this team "creating competition at every position", then why isn't there any competition at the QB position?

There's plenty! Beck v. Grossman v. Chappell. I mean how many quarterbacks do you need competing to qualify it as a competition?

Why? Easy, Shanny and co didn't like the Qbs that were available in the draft, and opted for another DE to LB experiment. I think they should have just gone with Ponder, then drafted Nic Foles or Dan Persa, or whoever will be the best QB they could get from the SEC in 2012 to get some decent young depth in there. If Rexy gets hurt we might be in for a crappy season.

They seemed to have more upside than Beck. How can you be the 3rd string QB on Miami? I mean 3rd behind Henne? Chad Henne? Chase Daniel would have done better than Henne. Don't get me going Matty!!!!!!! I might just have to start my bbring back you know who campaign!!!!!!!

Seemed to, but where are they now?

About as relevant as your constant Gus references.

Meanwhile Henne is still a starter.

How can you be 3rd string in Miami? Easy. He got caught up in a regime change. Parcells drafted Henne and brought in Pennington. Not too hard to figure out really.

Mwah? I don't hate him, just innocently forgot that he existed and is under contract for the Redskins. It's easy to do that when you think he has a snowball's chance in hell of starting for this team. But for competition purposes, I'll include him.

Beck v. Grossman (once he resigns) v. Clemens v. Chappell.

There you happy?

Hey, back in the day, Clemens beat out Patrick Ramsey - he must be an all-star!

Patrick Ramsey is one of the all-time great Redskins QBs and you will not speak ill of him

Former Redskin Patrick "If only I got a fair shot I'd be an all-star" Ramsey?

Damn he must be good then! I retract my previous statement based on the grounds that I was unaware of Kellen Clemens' accomplishments. Up to this point I thought Clemens' only accomplishment was teaching Brett Favre how to send picture messages on his phone.
