Beck making people believe
John Beck started to make believers out of a lot of Washington fans with his performance vs the Colts: 14 of 17 for 140 yards in four straight scoring drives with no INTs. Compare that to Grossman's 7 of 13 for 88 yards and one pick:

Grossman last week:
19-26 for 207 yds and 1 TD.
Beck still has work to do.

Re: Beck making people believe
Did John do enough tonight to get the starting job? He had a lot of praise from the announcers.

Re: Beck making people believe
Grossman played well. I think the coaches have more trust in Beck, because the offense was more aggressive with Beck.

Re: Beck making people believe
Beck definitely looked more in command of the offense, he had an ability to move around in the pocket and roll out that Grossman simply does not have. I think the job is Beck's.

Re: Beck making people believe
That 97 yard drive in the 3rd quarter probably solidified the job for him. That was impressive. Before that drive he was 1/4 for 33 yards and an interception. The interception had as much to do with the receiver slowing up on the route as it did with the throw. That drive he was 5/5 for 73 yards and a TD.

Re: Beck making people believe
Don't let the first half numbers fool you, though. Beck got in, his first pass a was a 33-yard fade, then two plays later Hightower had an amazing 35-ish yard run to take it to the house. Three plays to touchdown.

Re: Beck making people believe
Yeah, Beck showed great quick-strike ability and sustained drive-ability.
