Can't say we didn't see this coming and him as well. Hope nothing but the best for him. He is a good kid and deserves a shot somewhere.

John Beck - QB Apr. 27 - 7:28 pm et

Dolphins waived QB John Beck.
Beck, on the trade block since Bill Parcells took over as Fins VP of football operations, was the 40th overall pick in 2007. A Randy Mueller/Cam Cameron era holdover, Beck appeared in five games as a rookie. He literally looked scared in the pocket and produced two touchdowns to eight turnovers, including five lost fumbles. Some team will probably claim Beck off waivers, but he was already old coming out of BYU and his NFL future is bleak at best.

he played QB in the middle of the worse season in dolphins history....we had traded our best WR earlier (chambers) and he lost ronnie brown due to acl tear.....he was handing off to samkon gado for christ sakes.....

the dude had a terrible oline, and was never given a fair shot here.....i wish him well.

Too bad he never had a legitimate shot here. Someone may scoop him up and develop him into a decent QB.

He will get his chance with another team. Good luck to him wherever he goes.

I expect Jason Allen maybe next.

Hell after losing seconds on Feeley and Culpepper what else would you expect. Nothing new to this franchise, at least this FO has its **** together.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Here is your confirmation...

"The Miami Dolphins today released quarterback John Beck, the team announced. Beck was a second-round selection by the Dolphins in the 2007 draft.

“We want to thank John for his work ethic and his professionalism,” general manager Jeff Ireland said. “We wish him well in the future.”"

Miami has now drafted a QB in the second round in each of the past three drafts.

Interesting, if nothing else.

I wish Beck well. I never liked the Ginn/Beck combo. Always preferred the Quinn/Steve Smith version of that draft. Moot point as of now.

Hopefully he goes somewhere like Minnesota, Denver or anywhere else where he has an outside chance of catching on and competing.

Keep shooting and eventually you'll hit your target.

Good luck to John Beck. He seemed like a true professional and a great guy.

i never really saw much in Beck from the start. Sure, he had a strong arm, could throw it deep. I know a lot of 16 year olds who can too. But can he read defenses? Can he elude pressure? Can he be a leader in the huddle? These are obvious questions CamMueller failed to consider. IF they did, they wouldve known to pass on Beck, who never even faced a stout defense in college. If anything, it seemed that one thing that Cam was intrigued with was, well, character. Yeah, Im sure hes a nice guy. That doesnt make a good football player. The Mormon connection cannot be ignored either. Most of Cam's players led LDS-inspired lives. Not that theres anything wrong with that, Steve Young turned out to be a pretty damn good QB. But that was because he actually had the skills and tools to be a pro. He was more than a nice guy. Beck didnt have any of those qualities needed to lead a pro team. How could he possibly manage egos on the offensive side of the ball, especially if we brought in a big-headed WR down the line, or a hardheaded T? Marino could do so. Manning can do so. All the good Qbs have leadership skills. Beck looked like a deer-in-headlights the whole time. There was no possible way for Beck to be successful with the Miami Dolphins. And now, I wish him the best, but Ill gladly move on from a waste of a pick.
