I was surprised too when i read it that's why it stuck in my memeory, i watched a few of Beck's college games and he played in a QB friendly pass offense at BYU where he didn't often fire the ball in there and i figured he didn't have a strong arm but it was a bias i developed based on the scheme that turned out to be false:

I was gonna post this w/ my earlier post but got caught up at work/practice.

MAXIMIZING MOTION
BY JENNY VRENTAS
AND ANDRE MALOK

When quarterbacks do their position drills at the
NFL Combine, team scouts and personnel
are eager for a live look at how they
throw the football. Quarterbacks are
taken through a battery of drills that
assess attributes such as their grip on
the ball and their footwork.
They are also clocked with a radar
gun to measure the velocity with
which they throw on an out
route. Basic physics can
show us how velocity
translates to the
football field, using
the 20-yard out as a benchmark for a
quarterback’s pro-readiness.
At the 2008 NFL Combine, Ravens first-round
pick and TEST client Joe Flacco — who had a
meteoric rise up the draft boards last spring —
set the mark for throwing velocity at 58 mph.
“He separated himself from just about
everybody by the velocity of the ball,” said
Flacco’s agent, Joe Linta, “though it’s really one
factor in the whole process.”
The flight of a football can be calculated using
equations for projectile motion, if air drag is
neglected.

Very interesting move. Colt and Bartel must be out...Someone on the Skins coaching staff must really like Beck

Who the hell is DD....lol? Is he a REDSKIN? Ole yea he's a scrub that had no chance to begin with.

This guy went from high 2nd round pick (4th QB taken after JaMarcus, Quinn, and Kolb) to waived by the Dolphins to traded for Doug Dutch. Yikes!

At least he's still in the league? I remember when was drafted, some people really liked him, I never though much of him, but I didn't think he'd fallen so far as to be traded for a CB I've never heard of

Stupid bastards!!!!!!!! They could have just signed Frerotte to be the 3rd stringer til they draft a QB next year or in 2012. Frerotte is probably still better than this Beck. Shit, if Gus is still working out, he would have been better than Brennan.

Calm down Gus, just put your highlight package on Youtube and maybe you'll get invited to some training camp somewhere. It's not happening in Washington though.

Mooby I am being funny here. Over reacting is one of my many trademarks. But getting Gus for the #3 really wouldn't be that bad of a move. You really would only have to sign him to a one year deal, then in 2011 you draft a QB to replace him.

But what about when you hit that eventual brick wall of old age? Gus you should really start thinking about your post-football future.

Gus could not be put on the practice squad. Bartel, however, could be our third QB there, keeping open an active roster spots but still giving us 3 QB's in practice.

A one year deal for GF? then draft a qb in 2011? dude you have to be out of your freakin mind or I hope your on some good drugs and don't have a clue what your typing OR do you happen to be the real Gus....? lmao

Gus come one get on with your life. This guy is used up and over the hill, and was never anything to begin with. Not only did he make history with his head in DC not a very proud achieviement if he remembers, he did have his single PB nod in 96 as a Redskin other than that the guy has for the most part with 7 NFL teams been a career backup.

Getting Frerotte out of a retirement home to come play football for the Redskins at the #3 spot is one of the most laughable things to even consider.

Let the guy go coach High School football or sell insurance in peace. There is ZERO place in the NFL for Gus ESPECIALLY DC!

Dutch played like a scrub anyway. I was going to mildly berate Shanahan in my thoughts like with what he did with Albright and Hunter, but then I saw Dutch's name...

Def not good news for Colt
