Go to Youtube and search John Beck 70 Yards.

This is a common misconception that Beck has lived with since ending his career with BYU. The guy has a rocket arm. In fact, in the Combine in 2007 he had the 2nd strongest arm in throwing. How that is not NFL-ready has always been beyond me.
Welcome to the board man.

We wrote Monday following the Washington Redskins' trade for John Beck about the possibilities for the Skins' opening day QB depth chart. If the team chooses to keep three quarterbacks, then Beck figures to fit in alongside another offseason acquisition in Rex Grossman. If the Skins only keep two QBs however, then Beck and Grossman will be battling it out this preseason to be Donovan McNabb's backup.

The early comments from the coaching staff seem to be positive for Beck. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan says, via CSNWashington.com, "We evaluated [Beck's four starts with Miami], and he did play like a rookie, but he definitely didn't show anything that said he couldn't play in the NFL." Mike Shanahan added that he liked Beck's play in college, and that he's excited to see him first-hand. These votes of confidence, coupled with rumblings that Grossman has been less-than-impressive this offseason, could shift the advantage slightly in Beck's direction.
