John Beck Era Begins

[SkinzWin]

I feel like people take one of two stances on this situation... Either Grossman sucks and Beck is going to be the answer. Or Grossman sucks and Beck sucks. Unless you are Johnny5dickey. I contend it is somewhere in between.

Grossman CAN make plays and can run the offense, but his propensity for throwing timely interceptions and making bad decisions that he ultimately won't admit to is his downfall, repeatedly, his whole career.

Beck hasn't blown anyone away with his body of work and people are skeptical he can do anything different here. What he does have going for him is he is more mobile than Rex. He is not as well known as Rex for making poor decisions and throwing into coverage when it's not there. He is a game manager. He most likely won't put us in a hard place by giving the game away with interceptions.

For these simple reasons alone I don't think he will light up the world but will be an effective manager of the offense and let the running game and defense win games. He is obviously not the long term solution for this team and will we in the very near future be drafting a quarterback. But given the cards that have been dealt to us this year he is the stronger likelihood to win us the pot.

Now what that pot might be is up for interpretation. An 8-8 record. A 10-6 record. A playoff spot. A playoff win. A Super Bowl. (lol) Remains to be seen. I just think he will be better than Rex because less negatives equal more positive.
