Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

[30gut]

Tanking in football is patently absurd.
Mike Shanahan tanking on purpose is beyond absurd.

I'll believe Mike Shanahan is gonna tank when and if:

o He trades London Fletcher to a contending team.
Mike loves the guy and has utmost respect for him a player and a leader.
Shanahan wouldn't waste the end of Fletcher's career in a tank job.
Bruce Allen actually cited Fletcher as part of the reason why they're trying to be competitive:

London Fletcher deserves the opportunity to try to win every game we play, and that’s what our organization’s gonna focus on.”
