re: QB Situation for 2023

IMHO Beck is more accurate and throws a better ball than Stetson. That's just watching them play this year. I have noticed most of Stetson's balls are "in the vicinity" of the receiver, but very seldom can they catch them in stride. Watching Hooker and Young last week, the difference was also readily apparent. Those two were worlds better at hitting their receivers in stride. `I'M NOT SAYING STETSON SHOULDN'T BE QB 1. I AM NOT INSTIGATING A QB DEBATE. Only stating what reality appears like to me. I am excited to see Beck as QB 1 next year.

No QB has all the tools. And i agree with your assessment. I think his arm strength is fine, or at least adequate. He can throw the ball 45 yards in the air and has done so on several occasions. His problem (not hitting receivers in stride) comes from not throwing a receiver open when throwing deep. He does not lead them.

That said, he throws the back shoulder pretty well, and can throw into tight windows pretty well. He pulls the ball down and runs when needed and can turn a sack into a gain. He does a lot of things well.

I am encouraged by what I have seen by Beck this year. He looks capable and when he gets consistent reps I think he will develop into a good QB. It's hard to tell from what we have seen so far, though, because it has been short stints and against beaten teams late in a game.

I agree that Beck can do the job.
