Then he will start the opener and, as my burgundy biased expectations are shattered by his play, I will be reminded "Oh yeah, he's John Beck".

Best post in this thread.

Anyone thinks thats bad they should hear Brady talk about Bledsoe and Drew Henson during the E60: The Brady 6. His attitude towards holding on for dear life to the starting job and contempt for his backups in both college and the pros is surprising. And it's not really that bad, he's not throwing anyone under the bus, rather just saying that hey "Brady does it to."

Damnit that Star Wars marathon on Spike is starting to get on my nerves.

Is he on the ring of honor yet?
Would he whoop Andrew Luck in a bar fight?

I've seen bashing of Beck in other places too, but attacking him as a Mormon rather than addressing his play. Pretty sick.

Religion doesn't matter, we're talking about his abilities. If we're going to be fair, he really has not had a chance to prove he's a bust or starter. Now, is there a reason he has been on the bench? We're going to find out soon. Regardless, who cares if he's a Mormon or a Muslim or a Christian...he could be our Quarterback so lets get behind the guy UNTIL he proves he can't do the job. I see no reason to bash him as a player YET, and I definitely see no reason to stoop to scumbag levels and judge him because he went to a religious school. From what I've seen, he has some good character traits and is saying all the right things now...lets go out there and back up your words now, John.

Sure, bash him for being benched by the Dolphins or not winning starter jobs...but leave religion and personal attacks out of it.

Case in point: GMScud sent you a thank-you pie for naming him a moderator the other day. My advice...don't eat it. He's had his eye on the admin position for a while now

Shitty things happen, classy people act like Aaron Rodgers and Kevin Kolb.

Let's hope self-hype makes Beck player better.

I actually like Beck's confidence. He seems like he really wants it badly and I like that. He's hungry. But just by watching him the few times that I did, he really doesn't seem to be a very skilled passer. I don't think he can be better than Jason Campbell. Gotta get a guy in the 2012 draft.

This is one of the main topics on nfl live tonight! Wow there is really nothing to talk about anymore...... This lockout has got to end!

[musicmaster45]

Well see this is how i look at Beck either he will burn out and will have a high pick to use on a QB next year or he could be Joe Theisman like where he has a rocky start but settles down and becomes a great QB

[Dirtbag59]

FWIW Beck's attitude about getting the starting job is remarkably similar to that of Brady's so that's at least one point in his favor.

[KI Skins Fan]

The idea that John Beck could be an effective starting QB for the Redskins is absolutely ridiculous. That Mike Shanahan would insult my intelligence by attempting to get me to believe in such a fraud offends me.

I simply cannot imagine that the Skins plan to go into next season with Beck as their starting QB. I think that Shanahan is trying to be sly to the point of seeming to be daft. I feel certain that our starting QB for 2012 is not yet on the roster.
