re: Beck headed to the NFL

So does this mean he quit on the team? I know he has to continue to recover but I can't imagine it wouldn't mean a lot to be on the sidelines coaching up Stockton and giving him pointers on things he might see from a veteran standpoint.

Really?

This crossed my mind, as well. There was a lot of rumblings this season of some discontent with Carson in the locker room, be it over the way he was playing, the ways he was blaming teammates, or be it him changing as a man (Lambo, tats, instagf, etc.). I don't think he quit on the team or anything, but I get the sense there won't be a lot of love lost with his departure.

Which is why it will be very interesting to see if he's on the sidelines with his brothers for the game. If he isn't, I think that pretty well confirms all the rumblings we've heard all season.

I like Beck a lot and hope he's there. I can see how he may have alienated some teammates, though.

Beck is well liked, waited his turn for years, never entered the portal, just worked and worked without any glory for years on the bench, got his job taken by Stetson, stayed, Stetson came back, Beck still stayed. Beck was the team barber. He's the one who gave Stetquavious his famous fade. Beck has been and still is a team guy. Beck didn't buy a Lambo to show off his money. It was a promotional deal with the dealership, they let him drive it for free. The team knew that. Dumb fans don't know nor care. They just want their narratives, something to shite on a guy for when he doesn't play well.

In 2023 I would've bought everything you're saying here. Sure seemed there was something off this season in terms of body language, visible frustration from both Beck and the WRs (especially Bell), and the way Kirby babied Carson. I'm well aware the Lambo was not his, but it could still rub other players very wrong. The team rising up the way they did for Gunner is what we should've seen for Beck all season. We didn't.

I'm not dogging Beck, either. He's a DGD. But don't tell me my eyes didn't see what they saw.

Saw a short on YouTube with Tate and Trevor talking about what it was like to hear Carson in the huddle one last time for the play that won the game. They definitely don’t dislike him.

I'm not done dunking on you. I'm in the mood tonight.


Tattoos. I think they are trashy in 99% of situations. However, I'd guess at least 50% of our players have tattoos. In what world is having tattoos a sign that his team mates don't like him? This is clown-level absurd.


Regarding the girlfriend... I have a secret for you.




Come close, I want to whisper this secret....





No, come closer......




















ALL BIG TIME COLLEGE QB'S HAVE HOT GIRLFRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!












It doesn't seem to be a distraction for any other quarterback. If you remember the quote from Moneyball, supposedly from a real baseball scout, they didn't want to bring on a guy because his GF was ugly, suggesting the player didn't have confidence. But you decided his hot GF is a distraction because he threw more interceptions than last year.



And also according to you, unless he lets the rest of the team mmmmmcreampie his girlfriend, then he's being selfish and his team doesn't like him.



You have a lot of Charlie Brown takes but this one may be the Charlie Browniest.

I wish him nothing but the best.

I don't know how you make the case that Carson Beck was a true leader of the team when Kirby says something like this about his backup.

Yeah, I get it - we're riding with Gunner now, but that statement strikes me as saying more about the leadership vacuum that previously existed in the locker room.

Kirby was talking about the traits that make Gunner a good QB, not necessarily saying that UGA's team plays harder for Gunner than they did for Beck. That would actually be impossible for Kirby to know because Gunner's time in meaningful games totals 30 minutes where the team was fighting to win the SEC championship. As you say, context is important and you rarely get it from internet quotes.

Taken from the transcription section of a youtube video. Notice that Kirby's words above weren't an exact quote. Lack of quotation marks in that graphic were a giveaway that somebody had paraphrased it for effect.

what makes Gunner Stockton a good quarterback
well I think the number one thing a quarterback has to have is
decision-making skill number one he
makes really good decisions uh number
two thing for a quarterback is accuracy
not necessarily armed talent but
accuracy he has accuracy so decision-
making is a
skill accuracy is a huge skill athletic
AB ability and talent probably takes
over third he has those Straits uh all
the intangibles in terms of toughness
character uh embody what he was raised
on his dad was a really good uh football
player played at Georgia Southern he's
been raised around football he's a
coach's son um all the players play
harder for him you know do you make the
players around you better is what you
look for in a quarterback I think he
raises the skill level of everybody
around him because of who he is so
that's my reason for believing he's a
good
quarterback
