Re: Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

Good read that should be favorably received by most Redskin fans. Writer sensibly spells out what is a good strategy based on the unfavorable imposition the lockout has created. The Beck/Grossman combination to me makes the most sense and they're probably going to need them both to get through a sixteen game schedule.

Enough already. The Redskins are in no way planning to "tank" an entire NFL season, mainly because teams don't do that.


Untrue according to some on here...haha...

Kurt Warner has already been re-incarnated. Let's book tickets to the Super bowl. Now.

Beck may be alright, he probably still has a lot of gas left in the TANK.

Even the Gus bus looked good in Denver, I believe Mike drove the Gus bus into the playoffs once.

The game has evolved and changed since then, plus that division was awful on the defensive side of the ball for a long time ... 6 games a year awful ... I just don't think any of the comparing to wat he did in Denver or who he did it with

This is pretty much my sentiment. I'd rather have Beck/Grossman at the helm than some guy who doesn't know the system. (Hasslebeck, Young)

Re: Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

Tanking in football is patently absurd.
Mike Shanahan tanking on purpose is beyond absurd.

I'll believe Mike Shanahan is gonna tank when and if:

o He trades London Fletcher to a contending team.
Mike loves the guy and has utmost respect for him a player and a leader.
Shanahan wouldn't waste the end of Fletcher's career in a tank job.
Bruce Allen actually cited Fletcher as part of the reason why they're trying to be competitive:

London Fletcher deserves the opportunity to try to win every game we play, and that’s what our organization’s gonna focus on.”

Re: Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

Will be interesting to see if they go after some UDFA for their 3rd QB-Tolzien, Weber, the other guy whose name I'm forgetting or will they just ride with 2 QBs?

Re: Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

I think they gotta add a developmental QB/camp arm to the roster.

I think Adam Froman is the guy you're thinking about; he Josh Portis, Hartline, Devlin will be the most sought after UDFA QBs.

I'm hoping they grab devlin - ridiculously accurate.
