Why?

WHY would they get rid of him in hoping there's a THIRD STRING QB available who could learn the offense in a week or two?

Who?

Is Jeff Goerge out there, after getting a Dan Marino brain transplant? You know...rocket arm, good decisions?

Or...maybe...Culpep...no, wait, we tried that...HEY...what about Simms?

Seriously. There's NO reason to get Beck off the team now. Hope you're wrong about him. He's a backup...and learning. Good things may yet happen.

it makes sense because if BECK ENDS UP PLAYIN WE WONT WIN ANY GAMES ANYWAYS!! so maybe someone will be stupid enough to give us something for him

WHY? Why would you do this? It...it just doesn't make any SENSE.

Daunte is a good QB and at one time he was a probowl caliber QB why not sign him for a year at the backup position?

I agree that we wouldn't get a second rounder back for Beck, and that he is still unproven. However, if they could trade him now, I doubt his value will ever be higher than it is now. Think about it. Beck is already much older than most players in their 2nd year, has not shown much when given his opportunity (granted with a very poor supporting cast), and is likely to ride the bench in Miami for the next two years. Henne is the QB of the future and unless, heaven forbid, both our Chads get hurt, then Beck isn't going to see any playing time. No playing time equals limited exposure to potential trade suitors AND doesn't really allow much player developement. QB is one of those positions that you can study up and learn as much as you can about, but if you don't get the playing experience under your belt, you're likely going to struggle, and I doubt Beck is an exception to that rule.

As for the vet QB comments I made earlier... I mentioned that a vet pickup would likely already be familiar with Hennings offense, thus reducing the amount of time needed to regrasp the formations, terminology, etc. If Pennington got hurt, Henne is the next off the bench. Should Henne then proceed to struggle and/or become injured himself, I'd be willing to bet Sparano and Parcells would feel more comfortable having a seasoned player at the helm to take over instead of the inconsistent and relatively 'green' Beck. I'm not saying that it would be the RIGHT decision, but IMO it goes along with common sense. A rookie coach would likely want to play a vet over a young player if, all things considered, the two players are relatively a wash in skill set and grasp of the offense. Time is irrelevant here. Except in rare emergencies, the 3rd QB rarely plays, and likely the two men in front of him on the depth chart do not get hurt in the same game, allowing the team ample time to sign accordingly in the case of injury, preparing the new player properly.

I personally am a fan of Culpepper, but I do think he wasn't a very class act in trying to get out of here. Granted I could understand why he wanted his release, etc, but I think he could have handled it better. But thats not important. I would be ok with signing him, but considering he turned down an offer from GB for in the ballpark of a million dollars and a decent shot at being the #2 QB, it doesnt make sense to bring him here. He would likely want too much money to be a 3rd string QB (which he def. would be with Henne sitting pretty behind Pennington on the Depth Chart). Maybe he'd take less money to be closer to home, but I doubt it.

1. Daunte believes hes a starter not a backup..
2. Headcase for an agent .

Yea and we treated Daunte with so much class. Traded for a guy who was more declindeclining than him and just gave him the job without even giving Daunte one snap.

I believe Beck will be gone, right after Simms is released.
