Beck offered to Cowboys?

[TheCount]

Anyone else see it? Its like a younger version.

You're way late on this one, and the comparison isn't flattering.

 

[Romo2Dez4six]

He'll be 28 in August.

yeah I thought I seen that somewhere.

If the only options were Beck for Henry or Beck for draft picks, I think I'd go Henry. Trading the pick is like trading away the possibility of another Scandrick, while trading Henry is adding a young QB with some experience at the expense of an older DB with deteriorating skills.

Sorry I don't read 10 pages worth of posts and yes I know its not flattering.

That is one way to look at it. Henry will be an expensive backup if he stays. If you're rebuilding then it would make no sense to keep him. If you're a player or two from the SB then you have to be careful about creating holes in your team. I don't know the answer. Hopefully they make a wise informed decision.

Let's just say when Jerry gets drunk he calls certain numbers that charge by the minute and talks with someone named Hostella.

I would take that trade in a heart beat! Anything to let Anthony Henry off the books. He's making way too much money for what he actually brings to the team. He can be easily replaced via draft. Id rather get a draft pick for Henry though

 

[Bob Sacamano]

agreed and mickey spagnola has already said he talked to people that think hamlin might go to ss and henry to free safety.

So exactly why would we give up henry? I dont get giving up henry at all. He is a good player, people obsess over his contract, Well I would rather have him for the final year and play him at corner and safety than have a third string qb.

Now, having said that I am all for getting a couple of young qbs here, as I have been for about 3 years now. But I wouldnt move henry for one. Especially with all the losers in this locker room, henry is one of the remaining good people.

we'd have probably the worst duo of tackling safeties the NFL has seen in a long time

 

[Bob Sacamano]

BJ was undeniably bad, but do they really wanna go with someone as raw as Beck as the backup? Or maybe they envision him as the #3 guy (in 2009, at least).

raw? dude is going to be old as Romo next year

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

raw? dude is going to be old as Romo next year

Personally I would rather start Beck and not know what I will get rather then go with BJ and knowing how bad he sucks.

The pun was unintentional.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Chances are if we lose Romo again next year, Beck wouldn't be much better than Brad was but if we lose Newman, at least Henry has experience.

I don't know that Beck has done anything to deserve all the faith you're willing to put in him. He was outplayed by Cleo Lemon on that crappy Dolphins team.

Beck was supposed to be a 3 - 5th round pick, the fact that he got drafted early doesn't mean he's good.

trading a veteran would be the stupidest thing imaginable, winning teams keep their vets who can still play, although Henry shouldn't be a starter

esp. trading one for someone who will probably be a better missionary than NFL QB

I turn down every BP fielded trade-offer, from here on out if I'm Jerry

honestly, do you really thing Beck won't suck?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I haven't seen him play a single game. Have you?

nope, but I haven't heard any positives about him

even if that reserve has a $5.6 million cap hit?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I really haven't heard anything either way. I at least know that Johnson sucks. The worst you can get with Beck is that he will suck too.

Its hard to be as bad as Johnson was and make an NFL roster.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

if he's not playing a snap, I would have a problem with that, but Henry will be out there often

if Jerry doesn't foolishly trade him for John Beck

fair enough

sometimes it's best to let an unknown remain an unknown, esp. if he's a young outcast

bring in John Beck, but don't make him your primary backup, and esp. don't trade a vet for him

I feel the need to find out about Beck now I am going to go crash some Dolphins board.

Raw as in no experience, not raw as in how Jessica slips into bed every night.
