BECK CUT?
Posted by Mike Florio on August 14, 2008, 11:26 a.m.

We’ve picked up an unconfirmed tip that the Miami Dolphins have severed ties with quarterback John Beck, the team’s second-round pick in 2007.

Though we don’t yet know whether the rumor is accurate, a league source tells us that the Dolphins definitely have been calling many other teams of late in an effort to trade Beck.

And so Beck apparently will be the next man to be displaced as a result of Brett Favre’s unretirement.  Chad Pennington’s arrival in Miami after being cut by the Jets after they acquired Favre has left Beck as the odd man out.

The Dolphins justified taking receiver Ted Ginn with the ninth overall pick in lieu of Brady Quinn by picking Beck a round later.  If/when Quinn ever plays — and if he plays well — Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller would be wise to never go to South Florida again.

790 The Ticket just talked about this on the radio. This could be the real thing.

  I'm not surprised by this move.  A snowballs chances in hell had a better odds of lasting longer than Beck did in Miami once they drafted Henne.

To cut Beck & keep McCown is a save face move by this organization.   They will now have given a 2.5 million bonus for a 3rd string QB, which is better than to say they cut him months after giving it to him.

Oh well.  For Beck this is the best thing.  Now he can go to another team & develop.

If Beck has been cut, his agent doesn’t know about it

There’s a rumor going around these Interwebs that John Beck has been cut from the Dolphins today.

The site profootballtalk says it has picked up “an unconfirmed tip” that Beck has been cut. It was posted at 11:26 a.m., mere minutes after Beck and his teammates finished their morning practice.

If true, it’s news to Beck’s agent, Justin Schulman, who says he hasn’t heard anything.

Tony Sparano speaks at noon. Stay tuned …

ProFootballTalk should be renamed ProFootballLiesToGetPublicity because that's what they are.  They make shit up to get their name out there as though it was "breaking news" and then they all turn out to be false.

I hope he does get cut.  Like Dphins4me said ... he will then be able to go into a situation that fits him best and develop.  He has drawn the short stick here every since he was drafted.

That didn't take long!!  So much for that second round pick eh Cam?  You were the worst coach in Dolphins history!!!  You were a fucking disgrace to this organization and I hope your career in Baltimore completely flames out!!!

what are you talking about - read the article.  Beck practiced today.

Beck will be cut.  New England picks him up.  Tom Brady's right arm will explode in a tragic bear hunting accident, never to play again.  Beck goes on to win back to back to back to back to back to back NFL and Super Bowl MVP awards en route to leading New England to fourteen straight NFL titles.

In his speech in Canton while being inducted into the pro football hall of fame, Beck's opening remarks will be to thank Cam Cameron for his shot and vision...

They make shit up

Can you say that under oath?

  Angry?

My animosity towards Cam Cameron will always be one of a great magnitude.

I didn't get a chance to comment on Beck after the pre-season game because of my schedule, but I have a few things to say.

I thought he looked very good.  He was playing very smart, fast, poised and his arm looked outstanding.  He was throwing nice spirals with better than expected accuracy.  I realize many will think that he sucked because there were no touchdowns or deep passes to speak of, but this team isn't ready for that.  If you inspect the game closely, he was making all the right decisions.

For everyone who is judging Beck on last season and the B.S. reports coming out of camp that are meaningless, you should really think about your judgements and the level of thinking that is being used.  This kid can be an outstanding QB.  What happened to him last year was a disaster waiting to happen and it had nothing to do with Beck.  Although I was impressed with Henne, I am not willing to say he looks better than Beck at this point.  Both Beck and Henne will benefit from Pennington.  McCown will not be changing much so what you see is what you get unless you just happen to get one hell of a team around him. 

If we get rid of a QB, it should be McCown.  I have nothing against McCown but I see much more upside with Beck.  This is a rebuilding year, McCown is not a rebuilding QB and quite frankly I think Beck is already a better game manager than McCown.

Standing ovation for Doc-phin.  He's a smart fella!
