The offseason of John Beck has dragged on so long that we’ve had the backlash to the backlash. Columnists and teammates alike have stuck up for the guy recently, saying he deserves a chance.
Of course, there are still some folks who have their doubts within the Redskins organization.
When we broke down Washington’s free agent wishlist this morning via a report on NFL.com, we neglected to mention some interesting notes on Beck.
"[Shanahan] is set on Beck,” one source told Jason La Canfora. “That’s his guy. He isn’t just saying it for the media or to blow smoke. He’s serious as hell about it.”
Apparently Shanahan’s “unwavering” support has some in the organization “dismayed.” The Mastermind is resolute.
It looks like we’ll have the regular season of John Beck too.
