But I bet it won't be Beck.

Beck basically was a rookie. That's why I said to keep him out there in a lost season.

Beck had mobility that Rex did not, and did not fumble whenever anyone breathed on him. He had a few advantages over Rex.

Doesn't matter which one is our backup, we're screwed if either of them have to play. Rex will move the ball and keep the games close, but will always choke when it matters most.
