Just don't do the typical skins move and go try to get a big name QB.

A relatively low price is an understatement. I keep hearing analysts and others say Shanahan liked him enough to trade for him. All we gave up was Doug Dutch to a desperate Ravens team with it entire group of CB's hurt. In fact, we resigned Doug Dutch to the practice squad later that year. So, I would say the price was basically nothing. I am tempering my expectations on Beck, but what I am excited to see the outcome.
