John Beck Era Begins

skins89moss · 10-22-2011, 08:57 AM

Right now we have a good defense and a offense that can run the ball. We have a QB problem and Rex or Beck have to step up and manage the game. We understand that our passing game will not be throwing for 400 yards but 250-275 yards a game is not to much to ask for from a NFL QB. We need a balanced attacked to keep the opposing defenses honest. The NFL is a passing league now and points come in the passing game. The problem is we dont have a elite QB thus this limits our offense from scoring points. You get big plays when you can get the ball down field which means you have a o-line who can protect your QB. This season our o-line is better but now we have 3 new starters playing this week. We have a new QB getting his 1st start since 2007 so how will Beck handle the pressure on the road ? This will be a big test for our team because the Panthers are hungry for a win and we have a offense that has struggle to put points on the score board. This is John Becks time time to find out if he has the makings of being a NFL starting QB or just a backup clip board holding scub. Its put up or shut up time starting Sunday or else cause we cannot wait to draft a rookie QB to take your spot. GL Beck I will be watching your every move. HTTR

Well so far the jury is out on Beck and he has not proven he can be the man thus far. He better play better this week or Rex may get his number called again soon.

Hopefully, we can all agree that the best thing that could happen is for John beck to be successful as our starting QB. I have not been a Beck supporter but I have also been wrong before about people. It would be a pleasure for me to be wrong about John Beck.

If Beck is able to do a good job as our QB, it won't prevent the Skins from drafting a QB of the future, rather it will reduce the pressure to play that young QB before he is ready.

Let's all hope for two other things, as well, to help him succeed:

1. Let's hope that the Shanahan's will find a way to get the running game going and use it effectively.

2. Let's also hope that, when we pass, Kyle Shanahan will call plays that take advantage of both the running game, such as play action, and John Beck's strengths as a QB, such as roll outs.

I'm excited to see what happens on Sunday.

I see three different scenarios:

1) John Beck is amazing. He becomes Drew Brees, and is a Pro Bowl QB, takes us to playoffs and beyond. Great news for us because we don't draft a QB and instead use our 1st round pick for other needs (OL,LB,WR,?CB).

2) John Beck really sucks. We lose most of the rest of our games, Rex comes back in by week 12. Our season is over -- BUT, good news is we may be able to draft a top 10 first round QB of the future. Still good news for us.

3) MOST LIKELY SCENARIO: John Beck is average. Given our defense, he keeps us in games & doesn't turn the ball over like Rex. However, we lose some close ones and we end up 8-8. Draft around 15 or so. Unfortunately, this is the most likely scenario and least beneficial for us. Slightly worse draft pick and uncertain future. Bet we still draft QB in this scenario, but we are now drafting the 4-5th best QB off the board.

Hoping for option #1. If Beck is great, it obviously helps our team -- but it more importantly allows us to use our high draft picks next year on other positions of need.

Let's be honest.. Beck didn't beat out Rex.. Rex beat out himself

LOGAN!!!!........who?

Nice.....logan

....You'll....never see Rex do that....bless his heart.

I thought Beck played ok but the INT near the end of the game was a killer. You just cant make that throw with a chance to still win the game. Beck played decent enough to win but as I expected it was similar to Rex. It was the D that killed this team today.

That int was on hankerson. He had no idea what route to run, so he ran a go route. Beck was clearly expecting him to turn around and come back towards the sideline. That's on Hank for not knowing the playbook.

12thMan · 10-23-2011, 07:15 PM

Hankerson's on Twitter bitching and moaning about the INT. Saying people should stop blaming him if they weren't in the huddle. I'm like, dude save it.

Anywho, after he settled down Beck had a solid game. Hopefully he get's more comfortable in the system and finds his grove.

But I counted at least three or four plays where Rex would have either taken a sack or thrown an int. The guy has some nice wheels.

Bullee DAT. Beck's mobility is way better than Grossman's. After the sack/strip, Beck really settled down and was able to sense the pressure better.

Now we are predicting that Rex would have done worse. Wow. honestly folks. Beck didn't do any better then Grossman. 2 turnovers and it could have been 3.
