Carson Beck confirms he’ll play in Orange Bowl, unsure about future beyond that
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck will play in the Orange Bowl for the Georgia Bulldogs. Beck told reporters he will play in Georgia’s bowl game against Florida State.
Comments
I’m impressed that Carson took 15 underprivileged kids on a shopping spree. Good for him and Go Dawgs!!!
I’m also ecstatic that Beck and his teammates are planning to play in the Orange Bowl. Go Team!!!
Good news for the Dawgs! I totally understand him taking so long to decide on his future. It's a big decision. Whichever way it goes, the Dawgs will be fine.
My $0.02. Carson Beck will be back next year. The reason he has not public ally stated this is because his decision will impact Dylan Raiola and his decision. I believe 1 of the following 2 things will happen: 1) Raiola commits/signs during the early signing period (December 20-22) to UGA , and this will be followed by Beck “deciding” to stay after Raiola has moved in on campus and/or after the UGA orange bowl victory; or 2) Raiola commits/signs during the early signing period to Nebraska (something that unfortunately seems more likely today than a week ago), and the disappointing news is quickly followed up by the good news of Beck “deciding” to stay one more year.
I am not sure where DawgNation stands on this, but I am much more of a fan of RP at the moment that DR.
I believe the vast majority of the Leaders [eligible to leave]....looked around at what they saw coming back and coming in, next year...and, realized that by coming back and destroying EVERYBODY, in 2024......They would go into the '25 draft in much better shape. Not to mention, another Ring on their finger.
Rather than "1 or 2" 1st rounders, this year...they could have "4 or 5" 1st rounders...and "6 or 7" 2nd and 3rd rounders. They got the "Mo' money blues". Lol
I smell....a "Revenge Tour II"! C'mon wid' it!
I think you can say goodbye to Mr. Dylan Raiola. And...if all this "waffling business" over money, is true....Good riddance!
The fact that...neither Raiola...nor anyone associated with Raiola, UGA or Nebraska, have come out to dispel or clarify the rumors, indicates there is some validity to the "flip". Therefore,, we must assume everything reported is rooted more in "fact" than "speculation".
Here's my goodbye to Dylan Raiola....
[May you have fair winds and following seas...till you meet the Dawgs, again. Then, God help you.]. Lol
RP definitely has the look of a QB. A 6'3 " kid who looks a tad taller than that. LEan and muscular looking. Think Josh Allen, not as big, but a smaller version, appearance wise.
I rewatched DR's highlights again and most of his highlights are big lollipop throws where he lofts them up and lets his receivers make the play. HElps when you have the Bolden kid who will play on Sunday one day. He can wing it now and as smooth as a release as you will ever see, effortless throws. BUt not a lot of throws made on a line into tight windows. Not saying he can't make those throws, just not much film work. Throws a lot off his back foot and a tad slower than Puglisi on the scramble.
Rewatched GS's highlights again. He had more film of quck decisive throws into narrow windows and can launch it as far as the other 2. A superior runner to the other2 with more wiggle. In HS if he had a step on you, you're not going to run him down unless you're a 4.4 guy. We know how that can help against a good rush defense. He does have to wind up a bit more on the lonnger passes, than the other 2.
My biggest problem with GS is he's 3 inches shorter than the other 2 guys and he looks like a Middle LB at a small college. Of course SB and BY looked like they could be playing pee-wee ball, so there's that.
If he leaves after the Bowl game, it will be a shame for him, because with one more year at Georgia he could win the Heisman and a Natty.
Isn’t it great that we, as fans, can speculate all day long and it really doesn’t matter if we are right or wrong
i believe BECK is waiting on his performance from the Orange bowl and the other top QB performances ti see if he slides up or down on the draft scale.
as for as DR. Could care less. GS, RP, and a whole transfer portal of potential await for the 24 season.
I didn’t believe a Natty in 24 is likely. I’m guessing 10-2 and depending on how the other teams play a possible SEC championship opportunity. If we were to get into the Semi’s. Then maybe there is hope.
"Throws a lot off his back foot"____reddawg1
Is that true, Red? I haven't seen him play...but, if his mechanics are that bad...it makes you wonder how he got to be ranked, so high.
I've doing a lot of thinking, about Raiola's "commitment" and "transfer" history. He may have been "Offense & Opportunity Shopping" in HS....to raise his Rating Value and Ranking #. Through exposure and statistics.
It's all about the hype, with this kid. I like him, as a QB....but, he's "NOT for UGA".
As far as all that transferring and waffling business....it's hard to know whether it's him and his parents,...or, an "advisor/agent/rep". I kinda doubt, it's just him and nobody in his family can seem to tackle him, to keep him from destroying his credibility and career.
He's starting to make me wonder what Deion Sanders would've been like, in this CFB Environment...with HIS eyes always toward self-promotion. Lol
Lol....go back and look at some of the posts and comments, coming out if the 2020 Season. Then, look at the reality of the '21 season along with the emergence of so much hidden talent to go with the veterans...such as, James Cook, Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey, Channing Tindall and Trayvon Walker...to name a few. Nobody ever heard of em [outside of Georgia] prior to 2021.
That's the kind of team, I see coming in next year. THIS, was their "down-year"...if you want to call it that. And, THAT was due to injuries.
So much youth and inexperience on both sides of the ball, coming into this season...and a boatload of experience and talent at the end of the season...going into next season.
I'm not just looking at the "stars" of the team. But, overall. They'll be just as capable going into '24, as they were going into '21....IMO.
In other words...if they win it all, next year...it shouldn't be shocking. Football, is about much more than the QB Position....despite what the CFPC and talking heads would have us believe.
That's why I'm not sweatin' Raiola or next year's QB Position. Yet. We can't have another Joe Cox situation. That's all I'm sayin'. Almost any QB would do....but, I like Gunner, myself. Always have. I think he's gonna make people stand up and notice...once he gets his chance.
BTW...That could be one of the other "Beck Considerations".
Gunner has been waiting, too. Maybe, he's considering the BVG move...and transferring.
I know Kirby has been high on Stockton, since before his Sr yr of HS. I think he sees the kid as the Dawgs "future"...and, doesn't want to lose him.
So, maybe it's more about satisfying BOTH guys...and, that's why nothing has been "announced", yet.
Hell....maybe they both play QB next year. I'm sure Bobo can have some fun with that. Especially, if they can get, both Beck and Gunner on the field, at the same time.
I can hear opposing coaches, now.... "Which one is the Quarterback...and, which one is the Running Back?. They can both run...and, throw...and, lead or follow. Who's getting the ball.".
Lol....it's rare to have so many capable QB's in one Room...IMO. Why NOT innovate and get creative.
Since I have never, and will never, be in Beck's position, I have no idea what's involved in it. But I do wonder what other bit or bits of information he is still awaiting to make a decision. Hopefully, we will find out soon, although if I was planning to go to the NFL, I really don't think I would be playing in a meaningless bowl game. I can't believe a great game -- against a now-undermanned opponent -- would make that much difference in his draft position.
As for Raiola, I'll not be a hypocrite and bash him now. I liked him a week ago and the things I liked about him then, I would say are still true today. So, no need to try and make up perceived "flaws" in his game and anything else just because it now appears he's changed his mind. I'm sure there are kids committed to other schools right now (looking at you, K.J. Bolden) that UGA would LOVE to have flip to us. And we fans would be all in on those kids. So, in the (apparently) unlikely event that Raiola does still decide to sign with the Dawgs, I would welcome him with open arms. If not, I wish him the best wherever he winds up, and we'll move on with Stockton, Puglisi, or whoever else dons the Red and Black. Go Dawgs!
Breaking News......In an attempt to sway DR to sign..... Waffle House has offered quite an NIL deal.....all of the scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, diced, peppered, capped, topped, countryed and CORNED waffles he can eat!
