Thats what happens when the team continues to lose.

With that said Locklear wasn't coming back so MS probably doesn;t care much what he thinks.

Though it does seems like MS lack of tact (as its been referred to here) could cause trouble trying to get FA. How many people want to work with that type of person? Most are willing to for more money but that still hurts the team overall.

Absolutely correct. If some dude tweets his displeasure with the team and a reporter reports it, well, then it goes away the next day. Who cares? It's such a small issue. Why even respond? It doesn't make sense.

He was asked about it at the press conference and he gave a wise crack answer. Are we really parsing his words regarding a journeyman who will be lucky to be in the league next year? Really?!?

NOT to mention, but when asked after the last game in a sideline int, WHEN he would have his final meeting of the season? He responded that No, he would not be having a meeting at the end as he never did.

Funny that this is the most press Locklear has had all year.

[SmootSmack]

Locklear pretty much exemplifies why Shanahan does what he does. Player emotions are running high at the end of the season, so he gives everyone a chance to cool down and then he starts talking to players individually a few weeks from now

You'd have to think that Donte Stallworth will not be back next season. The Redskins wil draft a young receiver or sign a proven veteran in free agency. Sean Locklear definitely won't be back. I'd bet some money that if John Beck isn't traded, he will definitely be released. Brandon Banks, although explosive, just wasn't impressive during either kickoff returns or punt returns this year. Aldrick Robinson has a chance to wrestle the kick return and punt return duties away from Banks next preseason.

Based on what fans saw - - and what coaches saw and will continue to see on the coaching tapes - - of John Beck's performance in real NFL games on Sunday afternoons, I cannot imagine that any team would offer anything to acquire him. Not even a bag of used kicking tees...

John Beck seems like a personable and likeable guy. The problem is that he is no longer a "kid" and his football performance at an age where QBs are typically at their peak is unacceptable.

Prediction: The Redskins will get no offers for Beck in trade. At that point, the Redskins' coaches will have to decide just how important his work ethic and his practice performance are to the Redskins' team. That is his "value".

I wouldn't be surprised if Beck comes back as a backup.

Lets say we have exactly two players at QB next year better than Beck. Would he even be worth rostering as a third QB next year vs. going with two guys? He'd be inactive on gamedays and if you lost your starter for any length of time, you'd have to go out and find a backup QB you could trust that isn't John Beck.

Matty:

If John Beck is the #2 backup on the 2012 Redskins team, someone needs to go to church every other day and light a lot of candles and say a whole lot of prayers that the #1 QB - - whoever that is - - never gets an injury more severe than a hangnail on his non-throwing hand.

John Beck can't play. It is basically that simple.

Let's hope not. I don't think I'd trust him to warm the bench properly. I mean I don't even understand the coaches' reasoning for putting him in the game. He was woeful. It looked like he didn't even know that the objective is to get the ball in the end zone.

[Meks]

^ that

[Meks]

watching him in person in the SF game made me wannarip my own cornea out

[Lotus]

Where is that fanarchist person who was selling Beck as our savior?
