Beck and Ward Pre Miami Comparison and Perception of Beck's BAD SZN in 24

Petagna slighted our acquisition with a tweet about seeing the impact of Beck losing Bowers and McConkey and him being "best case scenario in a pedestrian QB market.

We are NOT ignorant fans as Canes. Please use the below comp to fuel data-infused retorts to all the silly slights out there about picking up the NUMBER ONE prospect in the portal.

We can't compare 2024 Carson Beck to 2024 Cam Ward, as I don't think that's fair. Ward also benefitted from a significantly better running game and WRs who secured passes instead of leading the nation in drops and dropped yards like UGA. D$, Gaby, and David Lake have all recounted that. Instead let's compare Beck's average season at UGA versus Cam's average season at 2023. Both had two full seasons at their prior stops.

UGA Beck Average Season: 3,700 yards, 26 TD's, and nine picks. 8th QBR in 2024, 7th QBR in 2023.

Wazzu Ward Average Season: 3,500 yards, 24 TD's, and eight picks. 50th in 2023, 60th QBR in 2022.

Let me be clear: I'm not suggesting AT ALL Beck is better or going to be better than Cam. However, to consume slights about him in media about "bad seasons" is ignorant. Use the data to be INFORMED hype artists this off-season.

LET'S GO, CANES!!!

It’s still not a fair comparison if you look at 2023 as opposed to 2024 because they just flip flopped. Beck in 2023 had an equivalent to what Cam had around him in 2024 at Miami. Cam had way less talent around him in 2024. So we should be comparing Cam’s 2024 year to Beck’s 2023 then things are closer to being equal including competition.

Communication was a far bigger issue for us than coaching or talent. I don't get how no one could figure that out. Constantly out of place as a result.

Isn’t that partly due to coaching?
I know most of it falls on the players if they freelance or don’t retain the coaching .
 
Beck’s numbers weren’t even that bad last year. He ranked 8th in QBR. There is no doubt if healthy he was one of tbe best options. The big question mark for us is are our new guys including jojo going to catch as well as X who had a huge role in this offense last year. I would would have liked a little more returning production in that room. Hopefully they add another reliable piece.
