    Not seeing it on NFL.com, CNN/SI.com. PFT is reporting it as a rumour. If its true well, thats life in the NFL. Alot of people will not agree with it and I am one of them but you just gotta assume the FO will make the right decisions and hope for the best. Perhaps someone just "started a rumour" Where has L2G been this morning?!?!? LOL (J/K L2G)

    790 is trying to get confirmation AFTER they reported it.

    Well, what do you know.

    Don't agree with it, and have a feeling this will bite us in the *** somewhere down the line.

    WEll...damn....another 2nd round pick gone....

    I'm shocked we couldn't trade him, seriously that does tell me something not so good about Beck, it's one thing if our Staff doesn't like him, if the rest of the Qb starved NFL doesn't like him...

    The Troika had better hope that Beck doesn't shine for someone else.:angry:

    Won't matter if Henne is good. At least that's the same argument that all the RamCam apologists used when discussing the Quinn abomination.

    I dont believe this one. At the 11:08 am blog update, this is the end of the entry....


    Beck takes a few snaps. A couple of short throws, and then he ends the day with an incompletion to Anthony Armstrong over the middle, thrown into triple coverage.

    I doubt they are going to just cut the guy like that. JMHO though

    Yeah, you would think they would at least try to get some credible verification prior to reporting it. Of course, like any other news/media, they wanted to be the first to get the info out. If true, I hate the move. But.......what can we do. I hope he catches on somewhere and does well. Really like Beck.

    Was just going to bring up that he practiced this morning and if he was going to be cut I would not think he would have been practicing. Maybe, I don't know.

    I dont see the logic in cutting Beck. He's only played a couple games and is entering his second season. Give him some time to develope. We have Pennington now for leadership so I would think that would make McCown expendable. Why not trade McCown? I just don't think Beck got a fair shot here. Still haven't seen a link though so I hope this is just a rumor.

    IM pretty shocked if true!! I mean I thought he should be here instead of Josh.. But looks like they are going with Pennington, Josh, and Henne in that order for this year..


    Next Year henne will be backup/starter

    I honestly think this is strictly about his demeanor. He's not Bill's type of player. He wan't a mean streak and ability to take a beating..

    John Beck will find a new JOB I have zero doubts. Interesting to see if Balitmore makes a move for him now as he was Camerons pick and they are unsure of the future direction for that position. Would show what he really thinks of Beck..

    I think Beck is destined to be a career backup in the NFL.. Nice, Smart Kid but it seems it won't be happening here!

    Ehh..that was last year's apologia for passing on Quinn...this years is Quinn has looked as crappy as Beck in the last 5 months...

    I'm wondering if this is the "last" motivational tool that will be tried on Beck, he will surely hear about it, and perhaps that is the point of propagating the rumor?

    PFT was the first to report it and 790 used that as their source. Doubt it's true.

    Yeah, I have looked at a few sites and found nothing. 790 is talking like it is a done deal but continue to say they are working on confirmation.

    On another note: I live in TN and never have listened to 790 before until this morning with this report coming out. I don't know what it is but something about that station/the people on the air, just irks me and I don't think I could listen to these guys very long.

    Well, I think they should give him a few more preseason games, but I don't think it's stupid if they don't believe he has potential to be a good NFL starter. We do not want to coddle people who can't contribute...we've done that for far too long. They're the ones working him out, not me, and I have to trust their judgement of him.
    That said, it's pretty obviously just a bogus rumor, so there's not really anything to argue about.

    Try these guys.
    They are the official Dolphins station.
    Miami left 790 basically because they were idiots.

    Only problem with 560 is that they have a non sports show from 10A - 2P.
    Other than that their programming is much better than the 790 circus show.

    Hold on we cut out second pick and we kept a journeyman that probably wont be aroundhere nexy year. We also had teams interested in John Beck and we could have trade him.

    Gotta love 790 running with it like it's official.

    These outlets will do anything to be able to say they broke a story.

    If this is true they'll be claiming their genious for months.
    If it's false they'll just sweep it under the rug.

    Funny lil game the cockroaches play.
