Some facts you might want to think about before judging Beck:
1. He was on the PS until just 4 days before starting. Remember he started the season as the # 3 QB on the chart.
2. The o-line was in shambles
3. The starting RB was the 3rd stringer as both Ronnie and Ricky were on IR
4. The Dolphins #1 WR had just been traded the week before to the Chargers
and last but not least one of the o-line guards openly stated he would only play if C. Lemon were the starter. You may recall a fight on the team plane after Beck's first start; that's what the misunderstanding was all about. It also points to the lack of Vet and coaching leadership that year.

This guy never had a chance. Yes I am a Johnny Beck fan, always have been, even before Miami drafted him. Hated Quinn knew he would be a bust, he is.

I tell you this, honestly if John is your starter when you play Miami there will be one Miami fan on your sideline yelling for Johnny to play payback time and for the Skins to win big time. Run up the score, won't hurt my feelings at all!

BTW I still have and wear my #9 Beck Orange Jersey!

Thanks for the insight
