[quote=GusFrerotte;827406]Beck starts 9/11 we lose the game. [B]All you have to do is bring tremendous pressure and the guy is going to throw stupid INTs. Give him different looks, different blitz packages and he is good for 2-3 INTs.[/B] This guy has never cracked 3rd string in his life. Again how many games does Rex Grossman have as a starting QB in the NFL? How many starting in playoff games? Beck looks solid against 2nd teamers and Gruden uses the hype machine to have this guy starting? Sorry, unless Rex gets hurt or really has a crappy season and gets benched, Beck will be a 3rd stringer in 2012, if we resign Rex and draft a QB. Beck hasn't cracked the 3rd string at any of his previous gigs, when he should have easily. He shows potential, but then again, it is against backups.[/quote]

This is how I feel about the guy. It is a gut feeling. Could be totally wrong.

[quote=Ruhskins;827415]My whole deal is...if MS really liked Beck, he should've made him the starter from day one or at least start him this whole game. Instead he left it up to chance and Grossman got most of the reps against the Ravens first-team.[/quote]

So if he really liked Grossman why not just name him the starter too?

I think MS just likes pushing the competition angle.

But the most important question is...can he pull off the swinging gate play?! LOL.

Well, maybe telling Beck to refrain from unleashing the dragon would have helped.

One thing for sure we have a big time RB in Hightower what was AZ thinking

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Locklear may be done--that was some weak ass blocking.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Gano CRUSHED that. Hopefully he has last years issues behind him.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

GANO--very nice kick! 48 yards.

That too actually. Competition is good...but I just feel that if a QB performs against starters, he should get the nod. In the end, we have to trust Shanny I guess. But I would feel better to have seen Beck play the whole first half if he is going to be the starter.

GaWho?!

O is not as hot with Clemens running it, although that was an impressive effort escaping the sack.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

I will take experience and someone who is cool under pressure over a more athletic guy any day. Case in point, the ATL Falcons. They can't get to the playoffs with MR Wonderful Vick, but can with the rook Ryan the next season. Vick is a freak athletically, but Ryan has a good head on his shoulders, and at the time was a better passer(still is). If I am Coughlin or Andy Reid, I will love playing a Beck led Skins offense. Give the guy heavy pressure and he is apt to panic and do something stupid. It isn't John's fault, he hasn't experienced that stuff before in real game situations, but Rex has, and plenty of it.

They are definitely kicking themselves now on that one. It's nice, for once, to be on the right side of a trade. I just hope he carries this production into the regular season.

[quote=Mattyk;827413]Rex is just as capable of tossing dumb picks, and fumbling. Remember last year at all?

How did Beck never crack 3rd string when he started 4 games as a rook?[/quote]

I feel this way as well. Our QB situation is what it is this year. Maybe one of these guys will have a career year and win us some games.
