BTW - Beck knows the Dolphins are a laughingstock, and he has yet to transform the offense into something worth taking seriously.
Beck was the highest-drafted quarterback by Miami since Dan Marino, but so far comparisons end there. After three starts Beck ranks 66th in the NFL with a passer rating of 53.6, and his longest completion in 84 attempts has been 22 yards.
The most recent game was Beck's worst. He threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles as Miami endured a 40-13 drubbing by the woeful New York Jets.
"I don't think I've had a game like that," Beck said. "I had some mistakes, and it just kind of snowballed. It was a rough one, but I've learned from it. I know that I'm a better player than that."
As Miami's third starting quarterback this season, Beck is trying to lead a unit that has lost its best receiver in a trade and three running backs to injury. At times Sunday he was one of five rookies on offense, and for the third game in a row, the Dolphins totaled less than 200 yards.
Dismal defense completed the ugly picture.
"You can try to crucify John Beck for this, but it ain't his fault," defensive end Jason Taylor said. "We missed tackles, we gave up 100-some yards rushing, we didn't get off the field on third down, we missed blocks, people dropped passes.
It ain't a John Beck problem."
