Miami Dolphins: QB John Beck released by Dolphins

Two days after the Dolphins drafted versatile West Virginia quarterback Pat White they released third-string quarterback John Beck on Monday evening.

I feel bad for Beck because he was drafted into a terrible situation and received little or no support. He handled himself in a class fashion throughout his stay here and I sincerely wish him and his family the best. He will get another shot in the NFL and I would not be shocked if he was to find success.

What's in the cards for John now that he burned three years with the Phins? Who do you think is going to snatch him up.....?
Maybe he Jet's can use him for... for...Maybe not. I liked him, he just never got a chance to develop with out a front line.
Farewell Beck good luck.

Well Overdue

Harvey, you are the best and most unbiased writer at the SS. I give you massive kudos. Why? You mentioned Mr. Beck's unfortunate situation as being put in as starter for the first time in the away games @ Pitt and Philly in HORRIBLE weather. THANK YOU for remembering as much, as it was a Cam folly. What's more, he had a VERY, VERY weak O-line... as was the case with Daunte Culpepper.

It's MOST refreshing to know that someone at the SS knows what's up while giving proper respect to someone who never had a shot what with all that has transpired in the past 2 seasons.

First person to call me a "suck-up" to Harvey is a Cam Cameron lover. I made that biitch (Cam) out in March '07... just ask "Westsider".

I wish John Beck nothing but the absolute best; he's a GREAT guy.

I'm sure you saw this coming Beck, your play was just not up to par for a 2nd round pick. I hope you find a spot on another team partner. I guess there was no trade value.

The Paul and Young Ron curse strikes again!

[cool hand luke]

beck did get drafted into an unfortunate situation for him. he will get another chance and he should be just fine after three years to study and learn the pro game. lots of injuries at QB, someone will pick him up.

[Zentinkowitz]

John Beck reminds me of Jason Garrett, kinda looks like him too.

[Steve]

I'm shocked that they could'nt even get a 7th round pick for him. He will be signed very soon. Another wasted 2nd round pick......

Harvey is a top of the line Sports writer.
I wish Beck the best. I hope some team picks him up.

[lolphins]

feel bad for the kid, but he made a decent living holding a clipboard for a couple years... good luck John.

[JAK]

Get ready to read the same thing about Jason Allen

[Roger]

The worst QB the NFL has ever seen. Just like I said.

[Bill]

What a class act John Beck is, both at a football player, but more importantly as a human being. It was out of respect for this that certainly led to our coaching staff releasing him so soon, allowing him to seek his fortunes elsewhere. I wish him the best of luck in the future.

I saw that coming

With Beck they lost their #2 pick in a bad draft. They picked Ginn with their #1 in that draft. Real consequences when you choose badly.

[waterboy]

Lets see if Cam picks him up for Balt.
