And it makes me wonder, did we totally rob the Ravens for Beck? Is that actually possible? I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around that.

If Beck is another Schaub, or even if he's just an above average starter, it will go down as a brilliant move.

It is definately a.....BOLD move. We'll yet see if it is boldly stupid or Brilliant?
I'll be a happy man and move it to the brilliant column if JB can be a solid bridge to our francise guy for a couple of seasons.

He (MS) will never get credit for it, the media will never bring it up.

Doubt that. If Beck plays well it will be a pretty significant story.

It would be Shanahan's ultimate middle finger at those who say he can't win without Elway

No doubt, heck it will be a middle finger to those that think he's crazy right now for even thinking about starting Beck.
