Re: How far can Beck take us?

He's sticking his neck out for him because he believes he can play.

If Shanahan showed one thing last year, it's he's not a good liar.

So I tend to believe he's serious about Beck, and KS was also a big fan of Beck prior to him coming here.

Crazier things have happened. Not sure why so many refuse to believe he could actually be a decent starter.

Well, it doesn't help that he hasn't taken a regular season snap since Joe Gibbs was our head coach. Sure there's a chance he could be a Tony Romo or Trent Green, but don't you just get the feeling that if it was going to happen for him, it would have already?

He hasn't had the chance for it to happen. Now's his chance.

Now's his chance to compete for a starting job anyway. And I don't think he'll win that competition.

Seemed like a very even handed assessment to me. No outrageous claims, just basically that John can get it done...may take some time for experience......
Pretty vanilla stuff.

I'm surprised he thinks the job is Beck's to lose and Rex will be backing him up. I'm not so sure about that.

I'd say it's really Rex's job to lose, and John Beck has to beat him out. And I like John, I like the competitive nature. But Beck's going to have to prove he can do it every day in camp, especially once Rex and even Kellen are allowed to get on the field.

John Beck and Joe Theismann share one commonality....they both love to talk.

He had his chances, just didn't get the job done, even on a befuddled Miami team. Shanny didn't like anything we could have landed in the 2011 draft at QB so he passed on a QB til 2012 and maybe 2013 to get another QB. Could Beck beat out Rexy? Sure he could, but the problem is that isn't saying much in itself. Rexy isn't the best starting QB in the first place. We acquired him to backup McNabb and give us an insurance policy of having a vet QB in there at all times. Rexy is #1 by default. WE are basically in between QB experiments. In spring 2012 our next QB experiment will be revealed, and we will only hope and pray this one takes. Every other QB "experiment" since 1993 has ended in mediocrity.(Shuler,Ramsey,JC, McNabb). I don't include Johnson or Brunell in there since they did get us into the playoffs. Frerotte was never intended to be the starter and had that thrust on him.

Win-Win situation for Shanahan?
