Backup QB on the way? John Beck Seems like a good idea to me *Merge*

[theebs]

First, I think richard bartel improved alot this past offseason, but I would love to see a young guy like beck or simms here to be the 3 this year and the backup next year.

Norm talked about the possibility of us sending a 5 or 6 this morning to Miami for beck...(I am all for that) or someone comparable.

Adam Shefter has this from his notes from last night.

Cassel on the outs?

New England has some interesting quarterback decisions of its own to make. The Patriots have seen too much good out of backup quarterback Matt Gutierrez to release him. They invested a third-round pick in April on former San Diego State quarterback Kevin O’Connell, so he has to be a keeper. The odd man out could turn out to be Matt Cassel, who has one year left on his contract and could leave New England after this season anyway.
The former seventh-round pick who has spent the past three seasons in New England could be dangled in a trade with the hope of recouping a late-round pick. Problem is, most teams no longer are in the market for a backup quarterback. Two teams to watch there are the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, but they might be more interested in Simms or Dolphins backup quarterback John Beck. The Cowboys have closely monitored Beck and offered a late-round pick for the second-year QB. They still could make another run at him. But Cassel's short-term future will be sifted out in New England's final two preseason games.

Well I certainly don't want Cassel. If you watched him last night you saw how awful that dude is.

If we get Beck, I would be jazzed. I think he's a perfect backup to Romo down the road.

gotta like anyone but Johnson

COWBOYS INTERESTED IN BECK

Posted by Mike Florio on August 18, 2008, 3:08 p.m.
Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that the Dallas Cowboys have expressed interest in Dolphins quarterback John Beck.
Beck, a second-round pick a year ago, is likely the odd man odd after the arrival of Chad Pennington, who was cut by the Jets a day after Brett Favre was acquired via trade.
Neither Beck nor Josh McCown played in the team’s most recent preseason game, a win over Jacksonville.
Per Salguero, the Cowboys are willing to give up a low-round pick for the former BYU quarterback.

This would be a great move. He could be the #3 this year and move into Brad's spot next year.

absolutley. Like norm said this morning, the guy had first round grades and is just basically being thrown away because of the new staffs impatience.

i would love him and that arm here.

No concerns that if Parcells doesn't want him, he must not be any good?

Was that a negative comment by CC?

The sky is falling!

 

[zrinkill]

Maybe getting Beck (a 2nd rounder last year) for a low round pick is payback for the deals we gave them .....


Hmmmmmmm

 

[STAR GAZER]

Sure would love to see this.

I feel our karma catching up with us.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I cant say Ive seen more than 10 plays of the guy, but he had a high grade from a ton of teams so he must have something to him. And isnt he like 27?

Is there any pet player we can throw into a deal?

I should have seen that coming cl, nicely done.

and no. I think a young guy who is in the learning mode with ability is exactly what we need.

I think miami is looking for a field general and a leader at that position. They are also looking for someone to set an example. Pennington is their vinny. I dont think they can have patience with two young guys, I think they need some sort of results.

I dont think we need that right away. I think we need a young(or younger) player to come in and learn the system, get acquainted with the players on this roster and then make a push for the backup job in 09.

What, what did I say?

Did you think that was a shot at Parcells? No, I really meant it.

Now I've never seen Beck play, so I can't say too much. But some people whose opinion I respect liked him coming out of college, so I've said that I'd like to have him here if it was cheap enough. But the fact that they'd get rid of him makes me wonder.

Now I get that they just got Henne, and they only have room for one young developmental guy. But still...

I do like Parcells' desire for a "battlefield commander" QB. So I wonder if Beck has that for Parcells to ditch him so quickly.

I think you have a valid point.

BP sifted through the manure here to get us a QB pretty quickly.
I am inclined to trust his QB evaluation enough to say Beck isn't worth much if Tuna doesn't wanna keep him on a roster full of drivel.

hey you know I trust parcells over most people in the nfl, but I think they have their young guy in henne.

I mean it is alarming that they brought in quincy when beck was there...

we will see I guess. Maybe he just didnt jive well what they were asking of him. he might not have the brains or the stature to be a leader at that position and maybe they identified that immediately.

and if that is the case, there would be no point in trading for him.

Let's ask that Keith Davis be thrown into any deal..we can definitely use him with special teams.
