RUMOR!!! via Kevin and Rock Facebook Page: John Beck Could Start (False)

[GOSKINS_08]

Ugh why? I guess just to keep our draft pick status.

[CrypticVillain]

They posted this on their Facebook page about an hour ago....

Rumor mill is ...that John Beck could start against philly this week!.

:munchout:

[CjSuAvE22]

They clearly dont want to win the game this sunday it looks like... could it mean they are eyeing RGIII????

[Bang]

Well, talk about reputable sources...

[MattFancy]

Makes no sense. Unless we're trying to lose on purpose

[Champskins]

Grossman already has shown that he can be a viable backup and will be here in 2012. The only reason they would start Beck is to see if he should be in 2012 as well

I don't know where they would get information from, but K&R doesn't seem like the people that would be posting BS to get ratings......

at the op being the second post.

It would most likely be his last shot at winning an NFL game, and he would most likely fail. There's little sense in playing him from an evaluation standpoint, the guy is absolute garbage. Maybe the Shanny's need to be sure they were wrong, very wrong, about this guy. But if they don't get that yet than I worry a little.

I don't think this is true but if it is, may the football gods have mercy on our souls. A blowout loss in philly is no way to end the season.

[Riggo-toni]

Actually, I kind of like the idea. The game is meaningless, so if he lays an egg we cut him on the plane ride home.

[SkinsHokieFan]

I think they are just messing with people

Yeah, I think this is a valid reason and it will likely help with the draft scenario.

[superozman]

Won't happen. Shanahan isn't stupid enough to cause all sorts of worthless questions directed him and his son's way for a meaningless game.

[zCommander]

Headline: John Beck to start to end the season so Luck/RGIII can begin the next season!

Let's not question the coaches on their decisions on this one, if true.

He shouldn't. He shouldn't be in the NFL, CFL maybe his best bet.

[Darkstarr]

Why not start him? We know what we got with Rex (2-3 TO's Backup qb). Give him 1 more game to get playing time on film and maybe help the draft position.

[GibbsFactor]

Give him one more chance to get something on tape that doesn't resemble a train wreck.

Plus it keep us in the top 7.

I see rock is still full of :pooh:

[kevinklein]

Don't think this would cause the uproar people think it would. There is plenty of false-reason to do it, as extrapolated on the posts above this one.

[Commander Chaaarmnder]

Or we cut him before the plane ride home and he has to take a cab back from philly.

Bingo!!

Thanks for clarifying for the others who just dont get it.

LOL, maybe Royster can break Helu's reception record this weekend.

Not directed against you, just Kevin and Rock.

"Bwahahahahah! Oh, you were serious? Lemme laugh harder. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Perhaps but possibly not for the reasons you think.

[HRNY4ZRNY]

To me it doesnt matter either way.

Rex should start for us next year.

Beck is fighting just to stay on the roster as a #3 at this point.
