This is true, but Beck's relative success in Washington thus far...

Outside of preseason action, Beck hasn't taken a snap under center for Washington in a regular season game yet, so not sure what "relative success" you're referring to.

The fact that he's still in the league is a "relative" success for Beck.  The fact that he is in the running for a starting role only adds to his "relative" success.

It's "relative" because he's not done anything yet.

He hasn't been cut yet.

Beck lost the starting job to Grossman it was announced today.

Beck needs to find a new line of work. Football ain't his thing.

Beck is what most peole thought he would be in this league;a serviceable backup.To make the comment"football isn't his thing"is,I would say,a stretch.He played qb at a major university and is still making a living at it,albiet as a backup,but the guy still gets a check from the NFL.Heck,even A.J. Feeley made the cut with the Rams this year....talk about living a charmed life.......

I really haven't seen any proof that he can be a serviceable backup...or a serviceable "anything" that relates to playing QB in the NFL.

We'll chalk his demotion up to being a "relative success" though. At least the Skins didn't put a bullet in him and bury his body out in the woods.

he hasn't been a serviceable backup or starter one day in this league. On his 3rd team and he is now being beat out by Rex Grossman. The guy can't play

Grossman didn't exactly excite anyone in the preseason. Just because he gets the start for game one, it's a very precarious position. One bad game and Beck could be starting.

I was only referring to your comment,"football ain't his thing".Had you said that Beck is one of the worst qbs in the NFL well,I might agree,he hasn't showed much.I was simply pointing out that if the guy is still on an NFL roster,obviously someone that is much more qualified than you or me to make those decisions thinks football is his thing or he would not be.Do I think he is a great player with alot of upside,no.I think he is a phone call away from playing in Canada.

Pat White was on an NFL roster and football wasn't his thing either. If you wanna be the lone person on the "JOHN BECK BANDWAGON" or start the "JOHN BECK FANCLUB"....go for it!

john beck sucks... has nothing to do with miami, his coaching at miami, being thrown into the fire too early, etc...
