re: Beck headed to the NFL

I'm not done dunking on you.

The John Paxson school of dunking, apparently.


If your buddy, a guy who, if anything, looked a touch 'special', left for a year and came back driving a Lambo, suddenly had tattoo sleeves, and was dating some rando from Instagram, would you really feel you're dealing with the same cat? Nah, you wouldn't. That person has changed....a lot.

I'm not badmouthing the dude. I'm team Carson and have been all season. But I most definitely saw a guy blaming others on the field when he was shitty (a big no-no in team sports), joking around on the sidelines after throwing bad interceptions, and an offense, which he supposedly leads, playing noticeably uninspired football.

Again, it could be all unicorns and marshmallows when it comes to Carson and the team. I don't know and you don't know. What I do know is that common sense observations point to a situation which COULD very easily cause friction in a locker room. And no matter how bad of a teammate Carson may have become, no one would dare call him out for fear of having to deal with Kirby. So no, I'm not expecting some explicit language from teammates. Silence can say a lot. The ONLY guy who I've heard say one damn thing positive about Beck since he left has been Tate Ratledge.

You remember when Carson took that hit on his run against Tenner, which seemed to finally pull him out of his malaise? The team rallied around him. Almost as if they finally felt their boy was invested in the team, rather than just trying to stay healthy for the NFL.

That all these signs can be so easily ignored, if not outright unseen by you, is pretty surprising. I assumed you were a more observant person.

This. The team is used to having leaders lead.

From a fan's perspective, that felt like it was incredibly absent from this team.

I understand that they're *supposed* to rally around QB2 when it's dramatically-appropriate like how Gunner came in for the 2nd half of the SECCG, but my Spidey sense tells me that Stockton is head & shoulders above Beck when it comes to being made of the stuff that Georgia QBs should be.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic and naive, but I'm going with my gut on this one.

Beck was never the leader a Dawg QB should be.
