He was a fantastic player in College, and has largely gotten the shaft in his NFL stints so far. I'm hopeful for him, believe he can beat out Grossman, and I hope ya'll are pleased with him in the future (or for as long as you have him).

I have a ton of respect for John Beck's college career. His age on draft day made him not-such-a-great-prospect (not unlike Chris Weinke seven years before him), but I'd be very comfortable with him making the Redskins as Donovan McNabb's primary backup.
