Beck reminds me more of the Jeff Garcia type guy, who was kind of old when he broke out as a star. Jeff was 29 or 30 i believe. Isn't Beck 30 or 31? I dont think his age is that big of a deal because its not like he has been getting hit. Beck i think can be good because he showed promise but got the raw deal in Miami.

I dont know how much of a genius Shanahan is. He is a great coach, no doubt, but his image tarnished a little to me because i think if he would have had the balls to pull McNabb earlier in the season when it was clear he was shot, perhaps Rex could have had an 8-8 or 9-7 season, possibly even better.

That being said, I dont really blame Shanahan because i guess he had to absolutley be sure that Donovan was not gonna work here, and i guess it took him a long time to realize that.
