According to Mike Shanahan:
Shanahan endorses Beck; Beck determined to win job - Redskins Journal

“When he came out [of BYU] in 2007, you evaluate the quarterbacks every year, and he was by far my No. 1 guy,” Shanahan said Saturday evening. “I think the world of him, but I’m not going to get into detail.”
Shanahan said he ranked Beck ahead of even No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell that year. Those are strong words.

Another aticle but it's a good article;
RealTime Fantasy Sports - Redskins' Shanahan passes on QB, then praises Beck

I just don't see that happening. Everyone saw how bad McNabb looked at times last year. He'll be a year older, just don't see why Cincy would want him. At this point in McNabb's career he simply has little value.

One thing is for sure. Whatever QB we have will be the one that gives us the best opportunity to win.

Bring back Grossman. The INTs are aggravating but he was fairly prolific in those last five games last season.

He definitely won't win us any Super Bowls but at least he'll give the young WRs we just drafted a chance to develop.

If we can get a couple of FA O-line types who can do some business...AND if our additions to the WR/RB stable pan out, Rex will look much improved (although probably not SB MVP material).

I could totally hold my nose and live with Grossman. If he can get us to 8-8 or 9-7, I could live with that.

I'm with you and Schneed. It's going to be Grossman because he knows the system better than anyone else. Beck will be the backup, or 3rd stringer for whoever else they decide to bring in.

It won't be anything splashy.

I'd rather go 2-14 then 8-8.

As you probably know by my statements, I want nothing but young guys out there next year. That may mean only winning a few games next year but I'm ok with that. This is a rebuilding job, and by the way the draft went Shanahan and co. realize that too.

THANK YOU, finally someone who shares my sentiment. I know its not gonna happen, but I hope shanny starts beck in an attempt to throw the season so we can get luck next year.

I don't get this way of thinking at all. It is like hoping that that someone rapes your wife so that you can then earn brownie points by being there to console her.

A fan, by definition, roots for his team to do well.

Another thing is the maybe, just maybe, McNabb and Shanny have patched things up for now. I just can't fathom us leaning on Beck to start. The guy is lucky to be still in the NFL.
