Carson Beck

It seems Dmoney is trying to brace everyone if not full on eluding to Miami will likley have Beck or Ewers at the end of all of this. However, Cribby being so critical of Beck is either a sign he isn't the one, or just spittin facts. If Nickel isnt physically ready for the job I would be happy with someone who has won a lot in the SEC. The talent level in the ACC is nowhere as daunting

I always keep **** real. I’m not gonna scream this guy is a bum multiple weeks watching their games then get on here and slob his **** just because he could be an option. I’ve discussed this guy with Georgia friends too many times to count. He has to hit rock bottom in a game to wake up and look like a pretty good player. Imo UGA won’t fight to keep him.

There was once this highly touted prep QB that went to the SEC, had some success, but was largely considered a bust and a bum. Couldn't hit over 60% of his passes, struggled to get to 20 TDs. Man, just a real mess and surely a bum and everyone at the program was happy he left.

Then he transferred and ended up 3rd in the Heisman voting and a first round pick. Probably going to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Bo Nix was at Auburn and started as a true frosh at the back end of Malzahn’s time there. Beck took over for the two-time defending national champions as a 4th year player. The situations were not the same

Do you think those situations are anywhere comparable ? Beens Nix was surround by trash and a trash staff. Beck had the best roster in Cfb to play with.

Exactly. Beck waited and was prepped for years. He’s been there since 2020.

And he completed 72.4% of his passes for 3940 yards (9.5 y/a) 24 tds 6 ints and a 13-1 record. Hes not as good as cam but comparing him to Emory or saying he’s bad is crazy

Other than Ewers, i don’ think any QB left in the portal is worth a lot more in NIL than Emory. I think we can win with Emory and an improved defense if we get the WR room setup correctly. I’d like to see the unspent QB NIL money spent on WR’s and DT and DB’s.
I think Emory would beat out Mendoza. I’ve always expected Emory to start next season regardless of the transfer (other than Mateer).

I just don’t understand the Emory hate. He just doesn’t have a lot of tape. Not fair to judge him on 2 games freshman year. He’s now had a full year (second in the system) to learn especially under Ward. Was invaluable for Mateer at WSU (Arbuckles words, not mine).

I’m not saying he’s leading us to the promise land, but Miami not making moves tells me they trust Emory. No one here can really evaluate him outside of the staff at this point.

There is probably a few guys they think is worth going after and is better than Emory but not available now. Unfortunately got to be patient here and ride and trust the staff that gave us the number 1 offense this year.

Beck is an above average college QB, no real debating that. The debate is how far above average. But he has injury concerns, is a questionable leader, would probably be very expensive and we have no idea if we can get him much less if he even jumps in the portal.

The issue is that it sounds like we could have had Mendoza locked up. Is Beck potentially a good option? Sure. But with all those question marks it just seems to make more sense to get Mendoza on board and be done with it. He might just end up better and more cost effective anyway plus the whole bird in the hand thing.

Looking at where we’ve been and where we are going, missing out on Mateer—our top prospect and the guy with the highest value prop—is a significant setback. Now, we’re facing the uncertainty of Emory and Luke, with an upside likely capped at 9 wins and substantial downside (losing record).

Adding Ewers or Beck could mitigate some of that downside risk. Their experience in big games, combined with the potential impact of Dawson’s scheme, probably will provide stabilization for next year with a higher ceiling than what we have. I'd feel better with Ewers heading into ND and next season, personally.
