Ravens Pick Up QB John Beck

[Coachnorm]

The Deseret News is indicating that former Miami Dolphins quarterback John Beck has signed with the Baltimore Ravens to compete with Troy Smith for the backup QB position.

Wish him luck. He's a perfect fit for the Air Coryell offense.

I figured on a team such as the Hawks, Rams, Broncos, or 49ers would've signed him on with a hope he could be a future starter. Obviously he'll never overtake Flacco.
I realize he was a minor bust for the Fins, but he was a decent talent coming out of BYU in '07 and still carries some upside.

Deseret News, indeed.

this move is a toe in the sand in DieNasty leagues.

I dont know that you could call him a minor bust, he never got a chance.

I kind of agree. He had no support, and no Oline to work with. Remember Miami didn't really rebuild the Oline until just before they acquired Pennington.

I think he will make a solid #2 behind Flacco. If he beats out the OSU kid

It seems to give the Raven's a decent assortment of QB's to work with....I cannot believe I just typed those words....
