          Most media folks seem to think so. However, signing a guy and getting him to camp takes a few days, so Beck will have at least several days of getting first-team reps even if Grossman signs a new contract this week.

            The soonest Grossman can practice would be next Thursday. So Beck has a week head start, and if he's looking sharp, the competition could be over before it ever begins.

              I am not a huge Grossman fan, but he actually looked pretty good last year. I think if they re-sign him there will be some competition, unless what we are hearing about them wanting to see what they have in Beck is 100% true.

                I think you're right about there being some sort of competition; the team benefits when guys have to try their hardest to earn and keep a spot. This definintely isn't a case of an expensive QB who has to play because the money is too much to sit him. Some things seem to be in Beck's favor so far, like coaches' public comments and initial first-team reps. If play is equal, those things can give an edge. If play isn't equal, it probably won't matter.

                    Yes, Bronco had a lasting impression on him. However, as I watched that, I couldn't help but think that his Mormonism really shined through, at least to someone versed in the cultural codes that have shaped modern Mormons. It would be interesting to undertake a study of language, both spoken and body to try and identify markers that are specific to a given subculture. I wish I had time for things like that.

                        Redskins traded for Tim Hightower and are allegedly interested in Ahmad Bradshaw...that might be a decent duo in the backfield with guys like Helu and Royster waiting in the wings.

                        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                          From one of today's Redskins blog entries:

                          Also of note in the 11-on-11 drills is that Beck handles the pressure of a blitz well, and is very active in the pocket. He started out very well, syncing with Hankerson and Paul on a couple big receptions.

                          Momentum swung back to the defense in the way of two DeAngelo Hall interceptions in about two minutes. Both times, he read Beck well and was wide open after the pick. These two plays drew the biggest roars from the crowd.
                          I hope Beck doesn't think about the picks too much.

                            According to some reports, Beck's deep ball left a lot to be desired at Saturday's practice:

                              Kind of fun to see those guys contradict each other. One is moaning about Beck overthrowing on the deep stuff and the other is moaning that he's underthrowing.

                              Beck may have some issues but arm strength isn't one of them. I have a hunch he will wow them at some point.
