Carson Beck commits to Miami

So much negative marketing coming out of the SEC it's crazy. He had a couple of rough games where it was clear he wasn't as good as his #1 overall draft pick hype. But the guy threw for 3500 yards with a 65% completion rate on a team that led the nation in drops. And he did that against: Clemson, KY, Bama, Auburn, MissSU, UTX, UFag, Ole Miss, UTN, and Georgia Tech. Beck actually had under 300 yards vs Tenn Tech and UMass so it's not like he padded his stats.

We were so spoiled due to Cam. I see no scenario barring injury where we're not a Top 10 offense in PPG again, assuming we get that WR1 out of the portal we're looking for. If we shore up a couple more spots on defense in the portal, too, and our defense actually shows a pulse, we'll have the same record or better.

Agreed.

If we listened to the SEC-SEC-SEC crew, we would think that Carson Beck is trash, while Lagway (who massively padded his stats against SAMFORD) is a Heisman contender...

I mean, somebody post a list of all the better options than Carson Beck, with the caveat he recovers from his surgery.

I don’t think Mendoza was better.

I don’t think Mateer was available. He was Oklahoma-bound once he jumped in the portal to follow his quarterback coach to Norman. And as much as I like this film highlights, I did notice a lot of of his big players were against Portland State other weak teams.

Beck had some rough moments last season, but he didn’t have the supporting cast of the prior back-to-back national championships.

There’s not gonna be a game too big for him at Miami.

He’s not Cam Ward and we’ll have to get over that real quick. As others have posted with a better defense and perhaps more balance on offense, meaning not relying on Ward to be Superman, next season should be a good one.

I thought Mendoza and Mateer were up there, and would have given us multiple years.

Having said that, I believe Mendoza played tougher comp (Pac 12 and then ACC) the last 2 years than Mateer did in his 1 year. Even Cam Ward was playing superior competition when he was in the REAL Pac 12.

Very fair points made.

It's time to roll with what we have. Make some adjustments for Beck's strengths, and then let's hit the spring portal hard.

Pretty much every year. But what is one common theme with all those losses.

Our QB's (Except last year which obviously was on the defense) have sucked. I think we might be turning a corner on losing to the lesser teams. I mean before we would get beat by two scores by some of those teams. Last year we were in every loss to the final minute.

This. Our defense is talented enough that a Carson Beck-led offense should win those games. With the offseason moves we've already made, there should be no reason we can't separate ourselves from the ACC pack.

Of course, the DC has to find a way to get these kids assigned and aligned, and the players themselves have to show up. I would have said that was
a given until the **** show we saw last season.

Agree


I mean what is UGA's excuse for almost losing to GT?
