I would have thought he were good enough to be a backup but that shows my inability to size up Pro talent.
People keep young backups for primarily one reason: they think they might have potential to be a starter someday.

Now, not all backups are young QBs. Some of them are experienced dudes who have proven themselves competent are kept on as insurance.

In the case of Miami, Beck was neither. No potential to be a starter, worthless as insurance.
