Beck was the odd man out caught in a numbers game.

It doesn't mean he can or can't play just that he wasn't in a situation where he was gonna get a real shot.

There are a finite number practice reps/snaps in an NFL practice and the lions share goes to the starter then the QB of the future or back-up then if there are scraps then the 3rd string QB can get a look running his teams offense.
Otherwise they're running the scout team w/ a simplified version of the teams next opponent.

Jim Plunkett was considered a bust and could not find his stride in the NFL until the Raiders picked him up. After that, two Super Bowl wins, one against our beloved Redskins.

Get up to speed on what John Beck has been saying from day one. He wanted to find the right situation where he could become a starting QB again. He was not going to have that opportunity in Baltimore and probably made his feelings known to management.....thus he talked his way out.

Troy Smith is a preseason beast too. Not a long-term answer as a starter, but a good sparkplug of a backup.

It doesn't matter what his situation is. He doesn't have ability to be a legit NFL starter or maybe even a back up. Hope I'm wrong but from everything that I've seen from this guy says he doesn't look the part.

There are probably few people who actually believe John Beck will prove to be the long term answer at the QB for the Redskins, neither have I heard anyone suggest it. However, all signs point to there being a competition for the position and he will be included in that competition (at least for this season.) I'll be content to let the coaches decide whether he's legit or not.

I dont see John Beck as a QB in the NFL but then again I'm not an NFL coach either.. Hope the guy plays well, I'm tired of BAD QB play

He can't be any worse than what I've witnessed from the position the last four years. If (and it is an "if") he plays fairly well and shows some promise he'll be accepted and you can brace yourself for the Shanny is a genius....headed to the hall post and threads.

It is not and for some reason it is taking up two threads.

The other part of the Luck equation is that if a team actually, purposely tanked to get the first overall pick and draft him, he's got a year of eligibility in his back pocket to avoid having to play for such a loser organization.

Perhaps Andrew Luck should tank his season so he'll drop in next year's draft and get picked by a good organization.

Hate to make you post again but do me a favor and put that in the new 2011 Redskins FA thread, fits better there. I'll have some reaction

Junkies put Beck on blast today

EBJunkies Eric Bickel
Bill Parcells and Ozzie Newsome 2 of the most accomplished personnel guys in the league both punted John Beck. Your honor, I rest my case.

Former teammate of Beck: "No touch on short passes. Not that great. No names please....He is no good. Great guy though."
