I just don't understand the preseason hype of Carson Beck. He might well live up to it, but there's not much to go on there.

Beck came in with the 2's in several games against ranked opponents who still had their 1's in on defense and tore them up. While you're correct that it isn't the best to go on, it is actual on-field play you can look at.

5-6 for 83 yards, 1 TD, 237 rating and 96 QBR vs Oregon.
5-6 for 55 yards, 1 TD, 215 rating and 96 QBR vs SC.
2-3 for 31 yards, 0 TD, 153 rating and 99 QBR vs TCU.

While there isn't a huge sample to go on, the sample that is there is impressive.
