How far can Beck take us?

If he gets to the airport they wont recognize him and wont let him park.

Man, this Beck guy is hilarious. He has all the confidence in the world that's for sure. Let's hope he can show us more than "the best that he can" because that probably won't be good enough in the NFL.


John Beck: 7-29

You Go Beck....get your 15 min shine on!

He will SHOCK the NFL

With Beck or Grossman we are about a .500 team, max this year...and that's ok.. Seriously, take a look at our roster from January 2010 vs. our roster today. Shanny is setting things up, assuming this draft & FA crop develops to be a 'plug in the QB' roster away from competing. It's hilarious how people are acting like we just gave Beck a 5 year-$65 million extension.. He's basically on a 1 year deal, Clemens is on a 1 year deal, Rex will likely sign no more than a 2 year deal.. We aren't locked into anything. Beck is clearly a stopgap and if he performs, great. If not, the rest of the team develops while we bring in a rookie or vet next year.

It's really funny how, after years of bitching about spending money on self-entitled jerkwards who come in and are totally lazy bastards, who put no work and no effort into being the best, we finally found a guy who is a self-starter, who is motivated, who's working his ass off to make the football team and be a good player...and people shit on him.

The vitriol towards Beck is effing ridiculous. What the hell is everyone's problem with the guy? That he has the balls and the belief that he can be a starting quarterback?

"HAR HAR HAR, WHAT A LOSER! He wants to come to our team and is motivated to put in the time and effort that Donovan McNabb and Jason Campbell wouldn't to be a starting quarterback! What a maroon! What a jerk! Can't wait until we bench this guy and bring in another quarterback yet another football team didn't want! Because giving up draft picks and a signing a guy monster contract to a guy worked so well the first friggin time!"

What ungrateful pricks this fanbase must be, to crap on a dude who's only crime against them has been he has the audacity to believe he can be a starting quarterback. To ignore every circumstance of his time in the NFL and judge him based on four games his rookie year.

Let him earn the friggin' job, or completely suck balls, before we sit around talking about what a failure he is. It's starting to disgusting how so called fans of this team and the media at large are pretty much picking on the dude and ragging on him ever chance they get.

He's easily more motivated to be the best quarterback he can be than ANY of the Redskins starters since friggin' Mark Rypien.

I'm firmly on the Beck bandwagon. Hey why not, we tried the big name approach last year and it was a fail. We've got nothing to lose.

Me 2.. Guy seems smart and willing to work hard.. MS made Jake Plummer and Brian Griese look good so why not JB?

Beck/Grossman is either going to be the stupidest decision Shanahan ever made or the most genius decision of his career. Or somewhere in between

It's happened before where Qb's come out of nowhere how bout romo? he was a 3rd stringer, trent green, kurt warner, and on and on. Rex knows the offense and put up decent numbers in his 3 games, but he's still Rex. If Beck is as accurate as they say he will be just fine.

I agree.

Here's to hoping he proves a lot of people wrong.

At the very least he deserves a chance. For a franchise that has been playing the QB shuffle for the last 20 years, we shouldn't be discounting anyone.

Good post!!!

Someone needs to answer a question: What is the difference between Kevin Kolb and John Beck? Neither guy has proven anything in the NFL, but for some reason Kolb is the next Dan Marino, and Beck is the next Heath Shuler.. Give Beck a chance!! The more I read posts from knuckle headed Redskin fans, the more I wonder if Redskin fans are really knowledgeable fans...

Also, why do so many Redskin fans believe DM was wronged by MS and KS. The guy sucked! Why would any coach trade a guy within the division if they thought the guy could really play?

True, but Kolb was kept on his team instead of one of the Eagles all time great qbs. Beck was a 2nd rounder who got cut by the team that drafted him 2 years later, then got cut as the third string qb by the ravens, then was our 3rd string qb last year. And to add insult to injury, Beck will be 30, which gives less longevity possibility. Neither has proven anything, but how they have been treated by their respective teams is a pretty large indicator of how much they are valued in the nfl and a reasonably accurate predictor of how they will do in the future. Of course, neither has proven anything yet so there are no absolutes, but if you can't see why Redskins fans are concerned, then I think that's on you.

And you know from all of your NFL experience!! Give me a break dude! Kolb has played in 2 more games than Beck. You like Kolb because the NFL network, and other so called experts have jumped on the Kolb bandwagon. Aren't you tired of the big name free agents? Do you know better than MS? Maybe DS should have hired you to lead the Redskins with all of your experience. Why am i wasting my time????
