    I still remember Florio for inisting that the Dolphins were going to pick Gholston despite Long being signed the next morning the day after he said "his sources" said they were gong to pick Gholston.

    Why?
    What has John Bech done to be considered uncutable?

    I have a hard time believing that Beck has no potential to be developed. The cut makes no sense to me at all. What is the harm in keeping him in your system for a year and seeing if he can become something? at least develop him and then try to trade him for something. Has he really looked THAT bad?

    Only solution is to make these jokers liable if they do not have verifiable factual source that would be objectively deemed reliable Of course, since the offenders are the ones with the megaphone, suggesting such a thing will likely result in your being branded a nazi or fascist.

    IF he is cut, I'd put the chances at greater than 50%

    So you think it's okay to cut a 2nd round pick after only a handful of games? Great way to piss away draft picks, if they don't show instant results then get rid of them. [​IMG]

    Possible to save money when they know he's not there player!? This team is starting fresh and no need to keep anyone who isnt going to be part of the future. The coaching staff might have decided this is not our prototype player..

    This Gives Beck time to find a new team as well

    I would hope that we would keep Beck and continue to try and develop him. I don't know for sure that he will be a good QB for the future but in McCown we all know what we are getting and at least Beck in younger and may have more untapped potential.

    I mean come on, I know politics are going to be biased and all that but can we at least cover sports properly?

    John Beck wont play...... Ugh, wait, he is starting.

    John Beck just got cut..... No wait he didn't.

    Wait for it, soon we will learn that he drowned a bag full of Kittens. Kittens who had just beaten cancer, aids, and an attempt by Michael Jackson to feed them jesus juice.

    Yeah but, the point here is if another team has interest in him then he must have some value/potential. That being the case then we should keep him otherwise we've wasted a draft pick. In fact, otherwise we've in effect, drafted someone for another team.

    He is not cut.

    PFT proves to be full of brown stuff and 790 chose to treat it as gospel. Because they are morons who apparently don't want to do their job, and, you know, actually check out a story before they run with it as fact.

    Why do the job you get paid for when you can just piggyback off other people rumors? I mean sure it makes you look like a tool sometimes but if you want to be lazy you just have to put up with it.

    So not only did we not cut him, we also have a league source saying we haven't even tried to move him. Its almost like our FO doesnt actully hate Beck.

    With all the reports the contrary backed up by absolutely nothing how could this possibly be true!?!?! Gasp, might our coach actually like John Beck? Or think that maybe, just maybe, a rookie year and less then half of pre-season isnt long enough to write the book on a young QB? Kind like with that obscure QB in who plays in Dalles named Tony had to sit for a couple year before he lit it up?

    In another striking comparison we have the same FO here in Miami that developed that Tony dude while letting him ride the pine..... They have probably forgoten all about that though, after all, Bill is old and its been what? Two years or more since then?

    Clearly if a QB doesn't look like Brett Farve in his second year we should all hate him and cut him right away.

    first off, to all the PFT haters....

    PFT reports it AS a rumor, including question mark in the headline. this means that while it may not be true, it IS being talked about. sheesh, some people take that site WAYYY too seriously. half of the stories are actual scoops, the other half is league talk (which doesn't always come true). but hey, i like to at least read about it.

    second, parcells & co are MUCH better than us at talent evaluation, and have seen more from these guys than we ever will, i'm sure. As much as cutting Beck (IF that even happens) is not the popular decision, i'm SURE there is a good reason for them doing this. they obviously know things we don't and have come to a conclusion. sometimes we just have to defer to the professionals ;) :up:

    :beer:

    EDIT: L2G, i respect your posts man, but the sending false stuff to PFT is lame dude. you're perpetuating the very issues with journalistic responsibility you are mocking.

    Which is why the is such a black eye for 790. They took a rumor that PFT posted as an UNCONFIRED RUMOR and ran with it like it was fact without bothering to check it out. In this case PFT actually did a decent job of framing the story as exactly what it was, a rumor, while at the same time saying they didn't even know whether to believe it or not.

    Its 790 that looks like morons.

    If you respect a site that has made it's name off of "throwing spaghetti on the wall to see if it sticks" that's your deal. Enjoy it.
    I just don't respect it but I somewhat understand why some do.

    The big deal here isn't PFT.

    The real issue here is a "supposed" legitimate sports radio station picking up information from an admitted RUMOR mill and running with it like it was a confirmed story.

    The 790 crew continuing to prove themselves to be massive douche bags is the real story here today.


    To assuming that the FO will make a sound decision in whether to keep Beck or not is a whole other issue. :wink2:

    Actually he was the first one I thought of when I went to their site and saw that is was an unconfirmed rumour. All right L2G come clean was this your doing? LOL

    well 790 basically did what a lot of people on this site do.

    PFT reports a rumor, specifies it is just talk, provides no link on said rumor, then people here talk about it like it is the worst thing ever reported. PFT has a lot of factual information, and when they do they post a link, have confirmed sources in the media, etc.... they also have plenty of rumors. i think a lot of people have problems determining the difference between the two.

    shame on 790 though. tsk tsk!

    L2G is a huge Beck follower, why in the world would he 'report' something like that...

    EDIT: Now RealDriscoll, maybe that's who you're thinking of.. He's like Anti-Beck for life.

    The credibility of the act and intent are similar whether one is an illegal act or not.
