Like the 90s. I forget who but it has been in the last 10-15 since it changed. I ain't that old.Irn-Bru wrote:cleg wrote:I liked it better when WR had number in the 80's - I dont like these teenager numbers these new wideouts use.
That's actually an old tradition in pro football, though it was more or less dormant for a long time.

John Beck's wobbler is the new Donovan McNabb grounder. #redskins
i agree ..... also we must have a solid ground game so beck doesnt have to throw 50 times.HEROHAMO wrote:Just crossing my fingers and hope that the work Beck is putting in pays off.
His success largely depends on our Oline and WRs. I heard Beck had an arm. From the few highlights I have seen of him at BYU he did throw a couple seventy yard bombs. Whatever that means.
In the recent past we kind of knew what were getting from our QB play. Ramsey, Brunell, Todd Collins and DMac.
With Beck we just have to wait and see. I have to think if he beat out Grossman who knows the offense? Well he has to be a step up. Grossman isnt bad at scoring points. Grossman just has a knack of throwing picks. Now if Beck can produce like Grossman minus the picks he should be solid. Now that I have analyzed this more. I am feeling good about things. Cautious optimism.
he has been in the offense for some time now,beck will struggle with reads and such hopefully he will come around sooner than later.langleyparkjoe wrote:..but I understand that sexy rexy has been looking good? That's what I heard from someone on the radio yesterday from the park.

(Peter) King shared an intereesting anecdote regarding Kyle Shanahan and the Houston Texans from the 2007 draft. “That was the JaMarcus Russell year, with Brady Quinn, Trent Edwards, Kevin Kolb and Beck,” Kyle Shanahan told King during his ongoing, 24-team camp tour. “So they asked me who I’d pick if I had the 10th pick in the draft. I told them Beck. They said he’s not worth the 10th pick in the draft. I was standing on the table for him. I’ve never seen a guy play that well in college.”
