John Beck Era Begins

3) I know he has 8 or 9 picks, but how many are actually all on him?? Two last week were on Fred Davis, I can count a few more that either went off receivers hands, Santana fell on one, Armstrong was held on another. Unfortunately these things go against a QB's numbers and it doesn't look good. If the whole picture is disected, its more bad luck than horrible throws.
4) We lost 2 of our starting lineman
5) what happened to the running game?? Which hurt the ability to throw effectively when the D isn't planning on getting run on.


I hope Beck comes out and does a hell of job. And if this was reverse I'd be saying the same thing about Beck so dont think I am standing up for Rex. I am standing up for the QB position, because it takes way too much credit when they win, and way too much heat when we lose.

1-Awesome place to be. I wonder to got us there?
2-True, against a bad defense would have made him look good again.
3-100%. Grossman/Beck it doesn't matter. I think the results will be the same. To many dropped balls or tipped balls by receivers.
4-Which in most cases would cause a team to lose anyway.
5-The Eagles did exactly what they needed to do... pick one aspect of the game and stop it. Considering we had a great run game they chose to stop that forcing our QB to throw the ball which is where we are not playing well anyway. Until the passing game gets fixed we are back to squar one being one dimentional.
