Sometimes we have reverse blinders on too and refuse to believe we're capable of doing anything right.

Re: How far can Beck take us?

Look at it this way, Shanahan had plenty of chances to upgrade the QB spot if he wanted to. He could have drafted someone, traded for someone, or picked up a free agent. So why is he rolling with Beck or Rex? I'd love to hear a legit response. And don't even bring up tanking for Luck.

Again he made Jake Plummer and Brian Griese look great

I never said we were tanking for Luck. I think we are going to get the 15th pick or something around there. I hope we get a QB that has real potential. I will be watching Foles and Persa this season. I think that is the caliber guy we will be getting, unless Kellen Moore somehow falls to us. That guy has a cannon!!!!!!! That kid from Tennessee is pretty good also.

Sheer arrogance and incompetence. They did bring in McNabb for a second round pick only to let him go the following year afterall. It seems to me they are simply throwing shit at the wall hoping it sticks.

Re: How far can Beck take us?

look at it this way, this team is much improved at almost ev position and we won 6 games in 2010, and actually should have won 7-8

In all fairness Lions fans can't talk about any team.. They haven't won a playoff game in like 40 years

Technically Chase wasn't drafted and Beck wasn't a FA journeyman QB

Re: How far can Beck take us?

I'm more of a Beck skeptic.

Quote:
Skepticism (or scepticism) has many definitions, but generally refers to any questioning attitude of knowledge, facts, or opinions/beliefs stated as facts,[1] or doubt regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere
I wonder what film he's talking about though. If he means last years preseason or the daily practice footage that none of us have access to. Still it's actually kind of relieving to see Shanahan make such a hard play to back Beck.

He's basically saying trust us, we know a heck of a lot more than the fans do.

Yes he does but to me this is almost a little too ego driven.
