How far can Beck take us?

C'mon Smooty, you know the answer to that(his being a long term option). The HC and the FO didn't like what they had to work with in terms of QB potential this draft. If they did Ryan Mallet would have been our #1 pick or Locker. Both will not make it in the NFL. It still blows my mind that so many were hooked on Locker. The guy had no accuracy, and his INT ratio sucked. He could get it done on the ground, but his passing game was questionable. I was sort of surprised they didn't go with Ponder, but Shanny and our scouts must have seen that he wasn't a good fit or something. Next season some real good QB prospects will be coming out that aren't named Luck. I am thinking Shanny wants at least one of them. Beck is an emergency stop gap if Rexy sucks or goes down early on in the season. He is not our long term answer. Maybe our long term backup, but not starter. IF the guy couldn't break 3rd string with the sad ass Dolphins, I doubt he will be a starter for us, and if he is, we are in a world of trouble.
