yep - he’s history to me. No ill will - just gonna pull for the guys that want to be a Dawg, simple as that.
Best comment of the day on this topic !! Thank You !!
Tied for best comment of the day on this topic !! Thank You !!
Thanks! Hope all is well with you and the family in the small corner of God's country known as Tiger, GA!
no Stetson had a better week of practice and got the nod. Rumor was Carson leaked the news of his start to his coach who leaked it to the media and that ticked Kirby off. If that rumor is true I can’t confirm.
pretty sure it was because he showed his maturity level back in 2021 against UAB.
Beck throws an interception, makes no effort to tackle the fellow who ran right by him, while he was standing and watching the show - then laughed while walking off the field. I certainly didn’t laugh nor did Kirby.
He got yanked - Stetson was inserted and throws 5 TD’s. Everything else is in the history books.
Pretty sure I wouldn’t want to play for a QB with that kind of attitude. He made his bed and paid for it, glad it worked out that way.
Attitude is everything - with that said, I wish him luck, but again…he is history 2 me. Glad to move on.
Stetson said before that week, he was down at one end of the endzone practicing by himself. Not taking any reps with the twos, let alone the ones. I wonder why CB thought he would start? Not taking sides, just saying how it went down according to SB on the Aaron Murray, show I believe.
87 dawg, Beck was very talented. But as others have shared, he just didn't want it. And he lost the big game, kept us out of a three peat. I was watching, and we were going to lose that Texas game. My opinion vs yours, I guess. Sorry he was hurt, but Gunner has the fire to pull it off with a super porous O line. Hopefully, that will all change this year, and we can see what he does with protection. I'll put my money behind a kid who really wants it every time. Stetson is the poster child for wanting it.

"I was watching, and we were going to lose that Texas game."
You know this based on……..? I was watching, as well as watching the other games where we were behind and came back and won.
Again, I have no knock on Stockton and fully support him and have said so repeatedly. My problem was the revisionist look-back at Beck. A kid who did his job, stayed the course, showed his loyalty, was never in trouble and, while he may have seemed flashy, I don't recall ever reading any negative press on him or seeing him showboating, taunting or belittling anyone. He was the starting quarterback at the University of Georgia and was paid a lot of money and bought an expensive car. That fame and notoriety comes with the job, invited or not. And it didn't come till his 5th year.
That's it.
I appreciate Beck’s contributions to the Dawgs. And I wish him no ill will, I hope he does great as long as it’s not against the Dawgs or would somehow have and adverse effect on the Dawgs.
I greatly dislike these QB comparison things when they come up. Good, bad, or in between you can’t change history. And these type conversations seem only to divide the fanbase. Beck is in Miami now, my take is wish him well then focus on supporting Gunner.
As Dawgs fans we should hope that who ever our QB is that he does great !! It appears that Gunner will be the starter unless he falls apart or God forbid gets injured. I honestly believe Gunner has the right stuff and he’s gonna make us proud. But if he doesn’t and KS fires him I’m gonna fully support Pugs !! Being a Rabun County transplant ( Dillard) Yes I have a bit of a bias for Gunner to be great. The people here not only speak very highly of his football skills but his character as well. Really his whole family is well thought of here.
One of the things I hear about him most often is how tough and gritty he is. Just last weekend I was told he had a promising baseball career but opted for football because he loves the contact in that sport. I really hope Gunner can take us to the promised land not only for his sake but for our Dawgs sake so we can watch all these skeptics have a heaping helping of crow !! Go Dawgs !!
Oh meant to say I’m anxious to see how Bo Walker will fare as he helped the Rabun Gap private HS win their State Title, you really wouldn’t be wrong to say Ntl. Title as they play different States, oddly enough they don’t play against other private schools in Ga.
They mainly play vs NC, SC, VA, they also played a school from New Jersey last year. Walker was a late addition to their roster but still a pretty strong contributor for them.
"Beck will cast a long shadow from the outside world on the Georgia quarterback room"_____DN
Maybe....till the end of September 2025. If that's "a long shadow".
IMO…Beck will go down in history as an average UGA Quarterback (which aint bad), that never quite reached his potential. While Stockton has yet to spread his wings. That's comin'.
Gunner, will eventually make people forget about Beck...and Raiol...aand Manning. Imo...He'll be hovering in the Heisman zone, before the Florida game. All doubts will be crushed by that time. Bobo got a plan. Lol .
The only people, that are gonna be "what if'ing".…will be the South Carolina Gamecocks, Will Muschamp and Mike Bobo .
As in "what if".…Gunner and Bobo had teamed up with Stockton a little bit earlier in the decade, before the Carolina purge of 2020?. Would Muschamp & Bobo still be proud Carolinians. Or…should I say proud '****?.
Go Dawgs!....And.…Whoever, winds up behind center. Lol
Don't remember any bad press - At least one person has written about it below. Beck may be talented, but he took the money and ran to Miami. That isn't loyalty. He wouldn't have that money without UGA
Imo....Beck, let the noise effect him. He's distracted....and, has been since Bennett left UGA and he was more or less gifted the UGA QB job....not to mention a $200k Fararri or, whatever.
He's in it for the short term money....and, that's okay, for him. God Bless him....it's his life. Go with God.
That being said......At this point, I'm not sure, he loves the game anymore. In fact, he may be sick of it....and, just wants to make a few bucks to start a business or something.
That injured elbow was the 2nd worst thing that could've happened to his confidence. The 1st worst....would've been to lose the SECCG to Texas. Stockton and the UGA Defense saved him that embarrassment.
IMO....The elbow injury and timing of it....caused Beck to rethink his future [Smart kid]. The life expectancy of the pro quarterback, isn't great. In today's world…You have to make your money, where you can....when you can.
