Sure Beck could succeed and fulfill his potential but relying on him (assuming we do) could be just as stupid as drafting 3 pass catchers in 2008 during the second round.
Either way we're still just fans and only have minimal influence (at least in the short term) on the teams decisions so at least in the short term the only thing we can really do is go with the flow.

To me it depends on how the criticism is couched:
a) some analysts have argued, "Who will play QB in 2011?," and downgraded us. That seems like poor criticism. No one in this year's class, it seems, should be an immediate starter, not even my boy Ponder. There just was no Ryan or Bradford in this year's class. So when critics slam us essentially for not picking an immediate QB starter, I think they are off base.
b) conversely, some analysts like Kiper have argued that we failed to take care of the future of our QB situation. These critics appear to be correct.
