Carson Beck commits to Miami

Georgia QB Carson Beck, the top-ranked overall player in the Portal, has committed to Miami.

Beck is 24-3 over his last two years as a starter and has thrown for 7,426 yards (68.4%) with 52 touchdowns and 18 INTs. He also ran for 187 yards and 5 TDs.

A member of the 2020 class, Beck will turn 24 during the season and brings tremendous experience to Miami's quarterback room. A 6'4, 230-pound passer with a verified 4.40 shuttle in high school, Beck was projected as a first-round pick before the season and was still a likely Day 1-2 pick prior to an elbow injury that ended his season. He is expected to resume throwing in spring.

Beck was one of the most efficient QBs in America in 2023, throwing for 3,941 yards, 24 TDs and 6 INTs with a spectacular 9.5 yards per attempt. Following the departure of his two top weapons to the NFL, Beck's production slipped to 3,485 yards, 28 TDs and 12 INTs in 2024. Georgia led the nation in drops, and its running game collapsed from 17th in the nation in yards per game to 102nd.

The Canes return four starting OL and two of their top QBs and will be major players for a big-time WR add in the spring Portal session.

Beck is far better than anyone else in the room. Assuming he recovers from his injury he should excel in Dawson's offense and with the talent around him. We will need players to step up at WR and TE. Beck won't bring Cam's WOW factor but should be better at the little things that caused the offense to sputter in moments, like our usual 2nd quarter.

He should provide an excellent bridge to Nickel starting in 2026. If the defense improves enough perhaps the offense can provide enough leads in games to give Nickel real PT. Emory had few opportunities last season. Might have only proved what we learned in the bowl game, but still.

Cam to Beck to Nickel can make Miami a QB preferred destination.

Build it and the WRs will follow.

This is going to sound crazy.

Im going to start by saying I do not think beck is better than Cam.

With that clear, I think beck will be better for this team's WL column in ACC play.

He has a better deep ball. I don't mean 20 yard corners and crosses. Go routes. Wasn't talked about enough with Cam. May be his biggest weakness throwing.

I think he is more likely to get 3 or 4 yards vs extend plays.

Lastly, since he isn't other worldly, I would expect us to rely more on the run. I think that in itself with make it easier on the offense AND the defense. I wouldn't doubt that our defense improves 50+ spots in acc play.

Pretty good analysis on Beck’s game this season against Alabama: the good, the bad and the fact that Bobo’s offense didn’t help him at all.

Unpopular take:

Some of y'all got the memory of a goldfish.

Why are we resigned to the fact that Beck will be such an obvious step down from Ward? As recently as 6 months ago it seems like plenty of smart people were ready to draft Beck higher than Ward.

I LOVED every second of Cam Ward, but Beck is just as if not more physically gifted than Ward. Could he be a step down? Of course. But if he is healthy, improves his decision-making and limits the turnovers, there is no reason why he can't replicate what Ward did this season.

Ward went from undrafted to projected No. 1 overall. Beck, with an arm injury, is still projected as a Top 3-4 round pick. There is no meaningful tools or talent drop off from Ward to Beck in my opinion.

Only people who thought Ward was going undrafted were either UF/FSU fans or people who never watched Wazzu. He was going to be drafted before Rattler

I typed up a few responses and just said nvm, lol.

In short. I'm hoping dawson doesn't get too cute next year. It cost us in GT and Syracuse (regardless of how ******* bad our D was). The defense was so ******* bad it overshadowed dawson and Mario's decisions at times. They won't have cam as a crutch next year. And will need to be smarter with beck at qb.
