Source: Beck has "two more weeks"
Well you know how I'm going to feel about this. But let's see what you all think.
Pro Football Weekly is reporting that John Beck's days in Miami could be numbered:
Pennington’s recent signing with the Dolphins is likely to end second-year QB John Beck’s brief stay in Miami. “They’re going to give John two more weeks to show what he can do, but if he continues his awful play, he’s out of here,” a team insider told PFW. “He’s been terrible throughout camp, and there’s no way four quarterbacks are going to make the final roster. He’s not one of (executive VP of football operations Bill) Parcells’ guys, and they have no loyalty to him.”
Again, like I always do, the thing I'll question here is who the source is. Is somebody really going against Bill Parcells and company and their "keeping things quiet" policy? Why would a "team insider" give out information like this?
Regardless, I'd be a little disheartened if this was true. After all, John really isn't getting a fair shake here in Miami. But that's the way this league works, I suppose.
Of course, I'm a Miami Dolphins fan first. So I'll always be on their side, like many of you. But I just don't see what the benefit is to waiving Beck and keeping Josh McCown on the roster. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Either way, John is going to need to step up his game and prove to everyone that he is worthy of remaining a Dolphin. The pressure is on this kid. Let's see how he reacts.
Tonight will be his first opportunity to prove he should remain with this team.

Here is my question..
Will the team step up for him??

Honestly...
it might be in Beck’s interest to go elsewhere if he can’t step it up. Henne is going to be inaugurated as the future, and until he’s ready, it’ll likely be Pennington keeping the seat warm—and it leaves no room for Beck. So unless he can really up his game, he won’t be seeing the field anytime soon, at least not in Miami.
(for the record, I’m still hoping Beck puts it together sometime soon)

What exactly has
John Beck done to merit such loyalty and sympathy from some people here?
Whereas those folks were ready to run JT out of town, John Beck who couldn’t even beat out Cleo Lemon and is presently struggling to beat a rookie and a career journeyman – gets such sympathy?
Beck is after all, cam-cam & mueller’s pet, sort to speak, and those 2 already took the franchise to an all time low last season.
Beck showed nothing last season and in the eyes of the present staff, which has as I’ve said a proven winning track record – apparently hasn’t done anything once again.

LOL
MY “loyalty and sympathy” is the FACT that I DONT expect ANY rookie to unseat ANY player thats been in the league more than 3 years but if he does then thats just great.
Beck showed what 99.6% of rookies do their rookie season and that is inconsistency..they have some good days and some bad days and its all about upside and he has way more upside than McCown does and hes been in the league several years but he clearly doesnt have what it takes.
JT was ran out of town because of lack of commitment to this team..just as Favre was ran out of GB for the same reason..vets can do what they feel theyve “earned” the right to do but when they think their agenda is more important than the “team”..its time to hit the road!

Hey Nat!!
You hate for cam-cam is well doc. i don’t have anything to say about that. Then, you translate that hate to Beck, and i might be find with that to, but went you get so blind that you get into the “i don’t care mode” then, that is went i have something to say. Beck was taken by WHOEVER, last year in the second rd, as you know. Don’t you think that if we want to get rid of Beck, the best way is to expand is value?, like we did with JT?, that is why we got a 2rd and a 6rd pick for a guy that didn’t want to play with us.
About that you don’t care about Beck, we could get something from him. insted of realising him and somebody taking him for free. You need to stop thinking about last year, because is consuming you and is clouding you judgement.

goodness
I don’t think Nat has ever expressed hate or dislike of beck…
I think what Nat is doing is two fold (neither of which beck myopians want to hear or accept)
1) Beck has played very well, once could even say he’s been awful (for whatever reason, its hard to say he’s been anythign but bad)
2) that Beck is not considered a BP guy and likely is on his way out…
So this belief that those of us who express either of these points Hate Beck and want him to fail is really some sort of paranoia…
but I want to back Nat here and make two points….
first Beck hasn’t been very good and
second unless the first part changes he’s on his way out the door.

W NY Fins Fan , this was ..
writting by Nat “Beck is after all, cam-cam & mueller’s pet, sort to speak, and those 2 already took the franchise to an all time low last season.” It have been doc that Nat hate it cam-cam and now he is saying that Beck is cam-cam pet. If you hate the owner, then you hate there pet. Simple logic.

Hey Matty?
Can you finally accept it now??? LOL!
by mred on Aug 9, 2008 3:22 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
This sounds like BS to me
From all sources that Matty has posted none of them has stated that Beck has been “terrible throughout camp”. His first week was very rocky but even Sparano stated that he wasn’t worried about him. Then his second week he was always throwing “beautiful” throws and he looked very comfortable.
So who is this source? No one can confirm that it even came from inside the Dolphin organization. This one phrase raises a lot of flags for me, “He’s not one of (executive VP of football operations Bill) Parcells’ guys, and they have no loyalty to him." What kind of crap is that. It sounds like what all the bitter beat writers are saying not what someone inside the organization is saying.
Do you honestly think that BP or Sparano would say publicly that Beck is terrible. They would try to talk him up as much as possible so that if they do let him go they could get the most out of him.

pilot880 the reality is..
that we might want something and the Dolphins org will do somethiong else, so, basically we are here, like in a ride. Not knowing what to espect until the end of the ride. Maybe at the begining you didn’t like it but at the end you might love it. About Beck, i beleived, if we dump him, that will be a HUGE mistake, but maybe the org feels more consfortable with a journeymen, a pothential injury qb and a rooky qb.

I agree only 4 people know if Beck has truly been “awful’ and neither Parcells, Ireland, Henning, and Sparano will be leaking anything like that. This article is total b.s. Its definitely made up.

That's right!!
We will see if it is time for Beck to go or stay.
The same will be said to Henne in his 5th game in the NFL

we';ll see in the coming weeks if this guy is right or not
If Becks a goner then good luck to him
Why so serious?
by Patssuck456 on Aug 9, 2008 5:38 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
In other words a decision will be made in 2 weeks...
I am sure the discussion was not that Beck has 2 more weeks, but that they are cutting down to 3 QBs in 2 weeks – which means either Beck or McClown will be gone in 2 weeks.
Does that mean Beck has 2 more weeks? Sure, but so does McClown.
Problem is, more is expected of McClown. Remember, he was the one brought in here this year to be the starter and hold down the fort until either Beck or Henne was ready to take over.
SOURCES also said that Favre was going to the Buc’s or the Vikings and that the JETS were all but out of the picture….
So much for these well informed “SOURCES”... Those who know, don’t talk. Those who don’t know, talk…

DONT TRADE BECK!!!!!
thats stupid. we dont need mccown and pennington…one HAS GOT TO GO!!!!!!
so then Henne is #2 for awhile.
who would be #3? you gotta keep him and display him whne you can and hope he is trade bait later.
WASNT FAVRE RAFTED AND TRADED LIKE A PIECE OF CRAP? I BET THE TEAM THTA DRAFTED HIM WISHES THEY WAITED A YEAR OR TWO MORE

Atlanta Falcons....
My, how that franchise would have been a little different had they decided to keep Favre. Chris Miller was their starter at the time, followed by Bobby Hebert and then Jeff George I believe.
One of the ballsiest moves of all time was by Packers GM Ron Wolf who over-ruled doctors in Green Bay who suggested they fail Favre during his physical as it was found out he had a similar degenerative hip condition like Bo Jackson had – only not as severe.
The rest, as they say….. Is History

I hope he does get traded
I’ve never been a Miami fan I must admit, but since I went to BYU and saw Beck play, I’ve followed this blog religiously since Beck was signed. Parcells is relentless dictator. He never had any intentions for Beck to stay when he brought in McCown and Henne and now Pennington. Beck never got a fair shake and his confidence is probably shattered, who knows if he’ll ever recover (I probably couldn’t!). If he gets traded to a team, i hope he gets a chance to play. Plus the Phins are never on TV here so i can’t follow him.
by jtuffy10 on Aug 9, 2008 9:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
This just does not make sense to me.
If Beck is the one that is going to make the exit then why is McCown sitting the bench right now. You would think it would be the other the around. So McCowen doesnt have to prove himself, I mean my gosh his career stats are nothing to brag about.

After tonights performance...
McClown had best get his act together. He was a joke out there against the 3rd team in the 4th. Did not look like a QB who has been in the league for some time.
Beck did not look like a world beater either, but at least he hung in there with the first stringers.
Right now in my book – Pennington, Henne, Beck is the order.
WOW. McClown might have just lost his job. Beck really didn’t do anything to gain/lose in my eyes.
Henne looked very confident and not rattled in the least.

Why??
all of a sudden, C penniless is the starter & HAS NOT PLAY A DOWN FOR MIAMI? unbealible. He is the garbage of somebody else and he is our starter. Put Henne!! He is the future and the future is NOW!! If in 5 game he sucks, then trade him or realise him and draf another qb and bring more garbage or left over qb’s from other team. That way we will be the blue print for the WORST NFL TEAM EVER!!

Media Twist
There seems to be a strong media twist following the QB battle for the Dolphins. I have been following the performance of all three qb’s in training camp, and from what I have read and seen, no one has the advantage. Beck’s worst performance came in the first week of training camp. Since then, little noise has been made about the good that he has done. All I have heard from the media is how he is struggling. However, as camp has gone on, he has been more consistent. McCown showed his veteran prowess (if you can call it that) in the first week of TC and struggled somewhat in the second. His performance in the first week was widely publicized, little was made about his 3 interception performance in one practice late in TC. As for Henne, of course he is getting a lot of media attention, he is the rookie and has been playing just as well as the others.
What I don’t buy about this article is that John Beck is still a Dolphin. If BP wanted to get rid of him, he would have done it by now. What I think happened in game 1 is that BP and the boys wanted to get a good look at how Beck handled him self starting a game. They want to see as soon as possible, if he has a place with the team or if they made the right decision in bringing in McCown. One will stay, and one will go…
At any rate, don’t be too hasty at getting Henne in the starting lineup too quickly. Beck recorded 11 of 22 passes, 162 yards, and 2 TD’s in one of his first pre-season games last year. He was impressive in pre-season last year. When it came down to it, he wasn’t ready to start in the NFL. If Henne gets put in too early, he may have the same problems that Beck seems to be experiencing now. That could spell trouble for his career.

To me what they should
Is Just let john beck go already trade him or smeathean ann do the same with josh next year…Well pick up another qb threw the draft to be behind henne and pennnington..Cuz none of the player beck or josh realy not impress me and dont realy show nothan speacil…..The problem with beck is that everytime he gets rattled in the pocket,For sme reason he cant move around,He just does somethan dumn witth the ball,Last night he almost fumbled the ball….....So every on phinsider keep thinken that beck is gonna be a good qb in the nfl and im tellen you that hes not,Lets get him outa here already…..............

agreed its bs...
as azphinner stated, pennington, henne, beck… would be my guess as well… pennington will be the ‘groomer’ of both and we’ll see who ends up staying around….i cant fathom keeping mcown, beck hater/lover.. whatever… how is mcown gonna groom anyone?? i think i’d rather have gary coleman 3rd string…
