Oh come on, it'll be fun. And I'm actually kind of serious. I love the idea of going in with a talented underdog that is completely under the radar. He can move, put touch on his throws, anticipate routes, throw deep when he needs to, and he studies like a madman.

I'm picturing Marty Ball with a more creative passing attack. If we can go 8-8 with Tony Banks as our QB then we can certainly go 8-8 with John Beck running the Shanahan offense. Besides it's not like McNabb set the bar real high.

Of course I would prefer a rookie QB with tons of upside learning on the sidelines but you can't have everything. Though I still fear a repeat of the Wurrfel, Matthews, Ramsey carousel. Okay so my faith is a wee bit shakey sue me.

How can you overlook Mark Rypien, Doug Williams, and Brad Johnson?
