Starting Beathard...

It's never easy for fans to see their team fail miserably and will never be easy no matter how long it goes on. Fans will never get used to it and rightfully so. I am sure as the season will progress the complaints will go down as people will be reminded of the expectations they should have had from day 1 of this season.

About Beathard, there is literally nothing to lose this season as it is technically already lost, everyone knows this team can never make it to the playoffs. There is literally no reason to not start Beathard, at best we discover our new franchise QB, at worst we wish him good luck and send him off and try drafting a new QB. What's the point of starting Hoyer over Beathard? Hoyer experience may win a game that Beathard may not? So we finished the season with 3 wins instead of 1? Other than a worse draft pick we didn't get anything from it. You need to let the kid play in a year where the expectations won't crush him, so next year when he is hopefully NFL ready he can start carrying us.
