@WildmanSlayer depended on the service... I went by 247
I'm not quite sure what everyone else saw and no, I am not in the practices, but I definitely saw Beck run, and he ran well when he had to. I appreciate the desire for a dual threat quarterback but I much prefer the accurate passer with the amazing arm while still having the ability to get away, which Beck did when needed. Smart, quick and accurate passing can remove the need to scramble. I don't understand how anyone that is not in practice can say Vandagriff or Stockton is better than Beck when you just haven't seen them do anything other than G-Day. Beck has looked very, very good.
I don't know how many times he was sacked, I think I know of one, but other than that, the kid is darned impressive and I think losing him would be an incredible mistake.
Don’t count out Gunner. He has National passing records, and is a bigger, big-armed QB who has has more snaps than anyone in the room last year, running the scout team. Just like Stetson did back in the day.
Kirby doesn’t say anything without a purpose. The mobility comment was made to give BG and GS confidence they will actually be able to compete and at the same time to encourage CB to work on his “mobility” this off season. May the best man win.
The only thing that is certain in my mind is that one of the 3 will enter the transfer portal after Spring.
All three of the QBs flipped to UGA. Carson was in the toughest spot with JT being added, but he stayed. then beat out by Stetson, and he stayed again.
Brock and Gunner knew what the room looked like and were still willing to flip from Ok and SC.
Best decision was not bringing in a 2023 signee
not sure of the outcome - that’s the coaches decision. I just want to be a DAWG fan!!
Another possible factor may be Todd Monken's future. We should hear pretty soon if he could be leaving or will stay. If we do have to bring in another OC that could affect offensive scheme. Also, Kirby said Stetson read the defense on that 3rd/dn/10 and set up the blitzing linebacker for the first down run. If Carson has the knowledge to read the D the same way, i believe he also has the mobility to do just what Stetson did. He may not have the dead leg quickness to pull a Stetson run, but i think he'll have the straight-line running ability similar to a Trevor Lawrence type QB.
UGA needs to do whatever necessary to keep Monken another year. The first ever Three Peat is possible with that guy around. (I know Minnesota did it in the 30's, but that doesn't count - only eight games and they lost one).
Tell me a having a great OC doesn't make a difference and I'll eat your hat. Monken had a masterpiece plan on Monday night. Some of the guys on offense mentioned it after thee game. You could tell they were impressed. Basically everything he dialed up was clicking.
I sure hope we don't lose him. Perhaps the thought of a 3-peat is tantalyzing enough to make him stay and see if he can pull it off. Never been done before to my knowledge, and his name and mark would be all over it. I could just about gaurantee that if he pulled that off he could write his own ticket wherever he wants to go. Heck, he could probably do that now, but a 3-peat!
"Best decision was not bringing in a 2023 signee"
I hope this means that CKS knows with some degree of certainty that none of the three will transfer. I know there are no guarantees to assure that all three will stay, but I cant imagine going into the season with only two scholarship QB's.
GO DAWGS!
So did we (last year)...it counts because they, like us, played the games on their schedule.
I could be wrong, but Monken in his responses about the job prospects doesn't give off a "wanting/needing to move" vibe. So while he might seriously consider an offer as a HC, I feel like some front offices may view his "happy at his current job" aura as a lack of hunger and desire for their job, so he could get passed over a bit wrongly for it by other,seemingly hungrier coaches.
I can't see any transferring in this window, but one will likely be gone in the next (after spring practice).
