Redskins Acquire QB John Beck (for CB Doug Dutch)

[BigHairedAristocrat]

I dont think this trade indicates an even remote interest in beck himself. I think what it means is that the Shanahan's have determined that Colt is garbage and they needed to find a QB who could atleast provide some competition for Bartel.

I know there's been talk of the Skins only carrying two QBs on the active roster, but thats foolish speculation in my opinion. Yeah, Shanahan's done it before, but never with a QB as brittle as McNabb. At some point, McNabb is going to miss atleast one game. We simply can't go into a game with Grossman as the the only active QB. We don't even have ARE any more to serve as an emergency guy. In the end, Bartel's our third QB and we're just bringing in Beck to push him to improve.
