Redskins Acquire QB John Beck (for CB Doug Dutch)

[CooleyAsCanBe]

Looks like Beck is still impressing. I'm a BYU grad, too, BYUClark, and I enjoy seeing Beck get a second (or third, I guess) chance given the talent I watched throughout his college career. All things equal, I think he'd beat out Grossman, but given Grossman's experience with Shanahan's system in Houston, it's an uphill battle. I think he'll show enough to convince Shanahan to keep three QBs and I wouldn't be surprised if Grossman ends up getting cut later on.

QB John Beck. Made a few nice throws, though one was helped by a major defensive breakdown. Still, he’s starting to get comfortable. He hit Brandon Banks on a go-route down the right side (Banks dusted Ramzee Robinson) for a score. He also rolled to his right and found Lee Vickers with a sidearm toss; there was a narrow window and he squeezed it in. Beck definitely missed on some throws, but considering when he came here, he’s doing fine. Better than Colt Brennan, that’s for sure.
