I am no Beck lover.

Take it easy Adam Schechter you get paid too much to gossip about pro football players and there organization.

The kid will do just fine now that ringling brothers and barnum bailey circus has left town and no longer runs this team.

People on this site are so animated with negativity toward Beck.

He is going to be far more advanced in terms of the system then whatever he was thrown into last year.

If the QB pans out on this team he will be a guy who does not make mistakes, hands the ball off an awful lot, and keeps his mouth shut and his mind focused on the game.
 
take it easy? how? the guy absolutely SUCKED! last season

be glad we drafted another guy, but Beck was horrible.
 
Its amazing on how bad our team was last year but everyone has decided Beck is a bust. Unreal, I mean we sucked, we had a ton of injuries and somehow Beck is the cause. I doubt anyone on this board is a talent scout, and the guy only played a few games.

I personally can careless who is our QB, but I am not going to blame a single player for it. Especially for a Rookie QB who had to share snaps even as a starter.

Did you actually watch him play? Or were you a fair weather fan that actually stopped watching after week 5?
 
Actually, Beck Showed Some Pocket Presence, If He Had More Than 2 Seconds Before Being Run Out Of The Pocket I Feel He Would Have Done Well... He Has An Obvious Connection With Ginn Too... His Timing Is Really Good With Ginn... I See A Lot Of Beck-Ginn This Year
 
It is hard to perform as a rookie QB when you continue to run on 1st/2nd with hardly any gain and face a 3rd and long almost every possession!!

Regardless, I don't want anyone to take it easy on any of our QBs, I want Sparano to make sure they know its no ones position at the start of camp and may the best one win!
 
Id like to see him get a year under his belt, the guy came from 3rd string, he wasn't supposed to play. The Trent Green injury really put him in a bad spot and with Cameron favoring Cleo it just was a bad situation to be in as a rookie.

There was nothing good on the dolphins last year, the one bright spot ended up tearing his ACL on a stupid interception.

I guess training camp will decide what the dolphins do, I hope its not another stubborn move by the front office just to put their guy in, cause if thats the case and they didnt like Beck they should have cut him or traded him.
 
He didn't make a lot of mistakes in the Pitt and Philly games. NONE of his frist 50 throws were picked off. I can't remember since Marino who could make it to 10:sidelol: He had chances to win in Philly only for a penalty or a bonehead play call to screw him up every time he got a drive going. The Jet game was a disaster and I would like to forget about the first few plays up at Buffalo. He played well against Cincy but that was playing from well behind against a crappy defense. I hope Beck learned from the Jet game and got some confidence from the Cincy game.

You are right and you are the kind of fan my post was targeting. It makes no sense to me though that he cannot be looked at in a context. Cam was not ready to be a head coach. Dumbstadt killed us with decisions my dead ancestors could have done better (no offense great grandmother). Beck was really bad, at times, and at others he looked OK. At least he did not squirm on the ground like AJ Feeley did when he got sacked - ( I used to squirm like that after I twisted my ankle in my backyard playing basketball with my brothers and friends but that is FAR from national TV - c'mon dude you made yourself and all associated with you look bad - I thought your mother was gonna run out on the field).

Beck is gonna do just fine. He is like Delhomme. He is a system guy. You plug him in to do the three step drop stuff and tell him not to throw the pick.

Guys like you who rail against him just do not make sense to me. That's all

You could draw a comparison of the Dolphins with Beck for four games in 2007, to the Dolphins with Bob Griese for four quarters in the SB against Dallas. When everything goes wrong, everything goes wrong. You can analyze it all you want but a disaster is a disaster. Beck shares responsibility, but there is plenty of blame to go to his teammates (some of whom were quitters), his coaches (some of whom were gutless), and management (some of whom were clueless).

I think Beck could be quite a good QB in the tradition of Bob Griese, Phil Simms, and yes, possibly even Joe Montana. Not necessarily their equal, and it's doubtful that he'll have similar achievements until the team around him is SB ready. But he is mobile, smart, hard-working, and has a strong and accurate arm. In college he made very good decisions with the football. Last year he did not, but even BP stated he never should have been put in that situation. Surprisingly, some of the same people that were mad at how Cameron handled the Ronnie situation early in the season aren't as angry at him for screwing up Beck's development. It should be clear to all by this point the man was not ready to be a HC.

The folks that think this draft was all about replacing Beck miss the fact that Miami didn't take Henne when they could have at #32 even though it most likely meant they'd lose him. And they didn't move up a few spots from #57 to get him even though they knew the run on QBs could start at any time with the teams that needed QBs coming up. Miami may have been glad Henne fell to them, but they certainly weren't willing to even cross the street to ensure that it would happen--unlike what they did for a fourth round OL.

So the FO has doubts about Beck. So what. Last year was ugly. They'd be fools not to have doubts about any player that was involved in last year's train wreck. Maybe some in management hope Henne or McCown take the reins and never look back. Again, so what. This drama will play out over the Spring and Summer and we'll have our answer down the road. I wish all of our QBs good luck, but the people that think Beck is a "Dead Man Walking" are kidding themselves. This kid's going to fight for the job, and as of today, I like his skill set over the other two. We'll see what each of them brings to camp.

Great post and couldnt agree more.
 
I like Henne, was happy we drafted him (though was hoping for Brohm) and would like to see him succeed IF Beck doesn't win the job.. but my fear is that Beck gets lost in the shuffle, is picked up by another team and becomes their Drew Brees while Henne turns into another Michigan alumnus - Drew Henson. It's always a crapshoot. Beck will be good somewhere - hopefully it's here.
