The author admits he's a skeptic and did have this to say which would seem very much in line with those who think Beck could be more than just a smoke-screen. [quote]

It may be that they're resigned to Beck as the best option and figured, after not coming up with a better option via the draft, that they might as well prepare their fans for it. With the chances increasing by the day that part or even all of the season will be lost to the lockout, it may be that Shanahan doesn't think it's worth installing a new quarterback this year. All of those missed minicamp and training camp practices would represent lost opportunities to work with a new guy. Maybe it's best just to sit around for a year and see if you're in position to draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck into a full offseason. [unquote]

Let's just hope he does not play the season for Andrew Luck. I know the idea would pacify the many Luck apologist.
