Comments about ‘Beck optimistic about Miami's future’

Class guy, I wish him all the best.

Beck is a class act--one of the finest, most underrated quarterbacks at BYU and just a nice guy. He's earned and is earning his shot at being an NFL star. Give him a good offensive line, and he will rock and roll.

they both suck

Arrest the headline writer! That should be "optimistic ABOUT Miami's future."

He'll be in the Hall of Fame.

their both lousy and awful

Try Henne playing by week 3 and Beck sits there with the clip board in one hand and a tissue in the other hand whipping the tears away from his face; crying once again!

The magic number is 1:
The number of times Beck beat Utah in 4 attempts!
The number of times Beck won a bowl game in four years!
The number of times Beck had a winning season in four years!
The NUMBER OF TIMES BECK CRIED ON TV!!!!!!!

What do you expect from a QB that fails in big games!! 1-3 versus your rival; isn't the rival game in where a player is suppose to shine?

Great leader: Cries, losses big games, can't have more than one winning season...., this is the person I would want to lead my team!

If Beck is so great then why did Bill Parcels draft Chad Henne in the second round this year?

Brian Johnson is a much better quarterback and will have a better season than that pretender Beck.

Based on your spelling, I'm sure you're a Utah grad.

Once again, poor spelling outs a Utah grad. Try "they're" rather than "their."

Henne | 9:34 a.m.

You're forgetting something: it wasn't *just* Beck vs. Utah, Beck in a bowl game, Beck winning or not winning.

TEAM, dude. Football is a team game.

Parcells drafted Henne because no coach in his right mind would go into a season with less than three quarterbacks on the roster.

And correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't Chad Henne out of Michigan? (Do I even need to say the words Appalachian State?)

As long as we're talking about their past, I'd rather have a QB who has battled through adversity to improve himself and his team than one who had the biggest football program in the nation behind him, and spent his senior season repeatedly choking in losses to teams Michigan was supposed to beat.

Do you guys HAVE to make it into a BYU-Utah thing? Can't you just be happy for a local product who has a big chance and wish him the best? Honestly, grow up. You sound like acouple of ten-year-olds.

use louie sakoda for trash talk before you use brian johnson/arceneaux.

to chill....seriously's comment. I'm cheering on Beck because I'm a BYU fan and a Utahn, and I do the same for any Ute that goes pro because I'm a Utahn.

what ever happened to that alex smith guy?

Alex Smith is 100 times the quarterback John Beck, or Ty Detmer, or any other goofball that ever played for the Coogz is. Really Coog fanz, get a grip and get back in your place as Utah reclaims its spot atop the MWC and in the BCS. This is the year Whittingham turns it around and the Coogz are exposed. Donko and his stripping warriors are going down.

Alex Smith took over the worst team in the NFL in 2004 had growning pains his Rookie year but his second year (2006) he past for 3000 yards and had 16 TD's and almost lead the 49ers to the playoffs!

It's Becks second year now and he also has the worst team in the NFL; lets see if he can turn the team around and almost make the playoffs! Let see if Beck can throw for 3000 yard and 16 TD this year! This will be hard for Beck to do when he is benched the third week of year and Henne is starting, at least beck can cry about it again: "we are trying our hardest" boo hoo.

Looks like the headline changed from "optimistic ON Miami's future." The grammar police can retire for doughnuts now.

Utes and Cougs, lighten up. Here in the Pac-10, we know our football well enough to know that a bad team can still embarrass a good QB. So who knows what either Alex Smith OR John Beck can really do? And does it really matter? You people are the only ones who care, and I'll bet you all have better things to do.

By all means: You guys keep up your ugly squabble about whose ugly sister is ugliest. Out here, we play FOOTBALL. Shut your mouths and play the game, people.

What team to you play for in the NFL? Nobody can suck, and play college or even start in high school. You people dont know what your talking about. Keep sitting in your chair watching football, and playing madden. Thats the best at football that you will ever be.

Lets compare BYU QB alums who were successful in the NFL vs. the Utes. Any Super Bowl winners for the Utes? (I actually don't know) BYU has at least two. I hope Alex smith, John Beck and all MWC/WAC players in the NFL succeed. They already have a good rep (M. Faulk, L. Tomlinson). And by the way, does the Pac-10 really know how to play FOOTBALL? Wow!
