Too bad, but he had to know it was coming after the draft.
Hopefully he'll get picked up by another team.

Link from the AP, since the one CJ posted for me didn't work:
You wonder how many teams are interested in him. He did not perform well in limited duty in 2007 with 7 fumbles and three picks in 4 or 5 games. But he did have a canon for an arm, and he's a good guy who isn't afraid to work hard.
If San Fran didn't pick Nate Davis yesterday, I would have loved to see him head to the Bay Area. Initially I thought Arizona might have been a good fit, but they took Tyler Palko out of Pitt last year, so I don't see that happening. I could see Denver as an option, since they only have Orton and Simms on their roster. Maybe Washington takes a chance on him, even though I believe they already have Brennan. You hope to see him stick somewhere though.

Washington has Brennan. Plus I think they signed either Harrell or Daniels as an FA.Originally posted by Sizzle View PostLink from the AP, since the one CJ posted for me didn't work:

I am not so sure he is going to have his pick. Pushing 30 and never played in the NFL? I don't think he is long for the NFL, but he got a nice paycheck and most BYU fans only remember his last 9 games, so I am happy for him.Originally posted by Surfah View PostShocker. I wouldn't be surprised though to see him have his pick of a few invites to different camps.Get confident, stupid

Zorn has said that he loves to develop QBs, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they made a run at Beck and released Daniels, Brennan, or Todd Collins. But I doubt they'll do that.Originally posted by Surfah View PostWashington has Brennan. Plus I think they signed either Harrell or Daniels as an FA.
Cameron might try to get him to Baltimore."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
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.

You think they get rid of Colt? I loved watching him play in the pre-season last year. He was sick. I think they should develop him and bench Campbell. You think Daniels will stick?Originally posted by DrumNFeather View PostZorn has said that he loves to develop QBs, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they made a run at Beck and released Daniels, Brennan, or Todd Collins.

Colt and Campbell are the safest. All they're waiting for is for Brennan to unseat Collins and they'll get rid of him.Originally posted by Surfah View PostYou think they get rid of Colt?

Daniels is an interesting prospect, because he might have a better arm than Brennan and if he picks up the offense quickly, he's got a great chance to stick.
Beck probably has better options than Washington, but given Campbell's uncertain future here, he might make a lot of sense to come in and compete."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.

Per KSL John Beck is going to be a Baltimore Raven. Looks like Cam Cameron still sees the potential.*Banned*

I understand why Cameron would want to throw Beck a line, but I don't understand why Beck would go to Baltimore unless that was his only offer. With so many teams having QB issues (Minny, Tampa, Jax, Washington, and SF to name a few off the top of my head) it seems like he could have gone to a team that didn't find its QB of the future in last year's draft.Originally posted by cougjunkie View PostPer KSL John Beck is going to be a Baltimore Raven.

Perhaps this is a sign that Beck is just happy to make a paycheck, and understands that he doesn't really have NFL starter talent.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

2nd string is only one play away from starting.

This may be true. I don't think that it is a bad plan. Collect a paycheck, get to know the ends and outs of the offense, step in when needed, and then retire. You will still be able to walk pain free in the mornings, be able to bend down and pick up the newspaper, play with your kids, and make sweet love to your wife without the pains in your back.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostPerhaps this is a sign that Beck is just happy to make a paycheck, and understands that he doesn't really have NFL starter talent.
Not a bad plan.I'm your huckleberry.

The first question would be how many of those teams you just listed expressed an interest in signing him?Originally posted by Donuthole View PostI understand why Cameron would want to throw Beck a line, but I don't understand why Beck would go to Baltimore unless that was his only offer.
