I think you're giving Bungals fans too much credit. I frequent a site that has fans from all over the NFL and they have all been impressed with Beck. Heck, I think Booker and Ginn had amazing games as well yesterday, I would probably say that they stood out too. But that doesn't lessen Beck's performance.
The Bengals site I checked last night said that they allowed them to score quickly to give TJ another shot at a reception so that he could beat Welker. I dont quite buy that but that was their conspiracy theory on that play
You guys going to argue about Beck for the next 8 months? This is getting old. Draft day will tell us a lot about where BP is going with this team. Until then lets not whisper Becks name.
What about Derek Anderson? He's younger than beck and more accomplished. I think if Parecells goes after him (very doubtful IMO) then it's safe to say he has doubts about Beck. I also think if he signs a Shaun hill type, that shows he has some confidence in Beck and will let him battle it out in camp. A Pennington just says BEck needs to sit another year or 2 and the jury is still deciding.
good luck with that. Finheaven has been arguing about qbs since(likely before) i joined in 2001. always a hot button issue my man.
2 points First, the game wasn't meaningless when the Tuna is in attendance and evaluating. Every player should have been fighting until the very last play. So to say that Beck's performance was meaningless or diminished is innaccurate IMO. Second, the offense has been very bland when Beck is in there (infact it has been all season). He hasn't really been allowed to open it up.
I doubt he will be made available and the compensation will be too much for a guy that has had 1 good season. not worth it IMO. Pennington is on the downside of his career as Marty pointed out yesterday, I don't think that he will be brought in as the concrete #1. He would be good competition for Beck and maybe more depending on how much he has left.
1. Meaningless for Cincy "D" - I think so... 2. Of course..., there are no more weapons..., than when Lemon is in there...
