Who do you want to start at QB?

At the very least he's more mobile, and I can't see him making those knucklehead throws that Rex is prone to.

I think Beck has had his chances but it seems he just cant win the starting job. Maybe he's a game player not a practice star.

It is amazing some of the stupid throws Rex makes. I still say that's a function of his being too short. At least there's a QB controversy to keep everyone interested.

Well, he makes horrible decisions in the pocket and out of it. There are other guys in the league his height and even shorter that don't throw the dumb INTs he does.

At the very least we get to have a look at Beck's upside. He's got the arm, the smarts, and the athleticism. I don't think he's gonna be a star, but Rex is and always has been Rex. His ceiling is a middle of the road NFL starter, and we saw his floor yesterday.

I think you could see it on his face on the sidelines after he got benched- Rex knows that barring injury, his days as a starting QB in the NFL are finished.

I'm still not totally convinced on Beck's arm. He threw a few ducks yesterday. But we'll see

He threw one duck, the other one on the replay slipped out of his hand as he was throwing it. Yeah it was his bad, but not indicative of arm strength. Grip strength maybe?

Good points. In the end Beck is stuck with the same inadequate supporting cast as Rex which is why I am not expecting much difference.
