BREAKING UGA QB Carson Beck Changes Mind on NFL- to Enter Portal

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Hahaha, that's hilarious. I think many around here turned on Milroe a long time ago. I can't lie; I'm also glad he is moving on, but making fun of another program for turning on their QB is so ironically funny. Roll Tide!

Big difference though..................Beck was a decent qb

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

That is one ugly car.

It's fast though..............and you gotta be fast to drive in Athens

 

[teamplayer]

Hilarious? You must be easily amused.

Milroe kept hitting the guardrails cuz he couldn’t steer the car and refused to allow another driver. Beck at least kept the car in the lanes.

It wasn't the play of the QBs that amused me. It was a comment about UGA fans turning on Beck. I'm sure quite a few folks found that amusing.

I read somewhere on X (can't find it now) that some UGA insider said Beck moving on (NFL or xfer) was a 'mutual decision' between UGA and Beck. If true, it sounds like both parties were ready for a fresh start.

There's scuttlebutt on another board that Beck did not get along with Bobo.

8 of the first 9 games are at home. Absolutely ridiculous.

Looks like the first four are home games. The remainder of the games listed do not have dates associated with them.

Yeah but 8 of the first 9 games are scheduled for Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The dates will be set when their conference schedule is finalized. The location (home or away) will not change.

I believe most schools have similar problems, but fans have never really "accepted" Beck and already love Gunner

Gunner also had more of the locker room than Beck just due to personalities. Gunner and Bobo also get along better. (but please dont get me started on my thoughts about Bobo)

Pair that with NIL and stuff is crazy talk. There is not an infinite pool of money. NIL was not designed for schools to be paying the players, but here we are. So business decisions must be made. Do you stick with Beck and the money he is demanding? or do your use that money elsewhere and go with Gunner?

but dont worry about Georgia too much, not with Bobo calling the plays

I wouldn’t get along with him either. Bobo is turrible

Tell that to Ohio State, the highest paid roster in college football. While everyone else is picking through the portal for scraps, Ohio State just goes directly to all the star players, wherever they are, and pays them millions to enter the portal and transfer. They're like the New York Yankees of college football.

I mean if you got the money and no one is gonna stop them why not. Wish we were doing the same

Woulda been real interesting about this time if the Raiola kid hadn't flipped from Jawja (after first flipping from tOSU) to Larry the Cornhusker Guy, and got his uncle the Flusters' OL coach a 300% raise plus whatever else NIL was thrown into the "family negotiations."

Kid looked pretty much shovel-ready for the NFL as a true freshman, and from what was seen of Gunner when given a chance, Beck might've been demoted to scout team in Athens by 7th game of the season.

I keep seeing this repeated but it's just not true. I think there are TWO starters this year they brought in from another team - a vast majority of their NIL spending was to retain their older players.

ETA - this post references what I've been saying:

NIL has allowed teams to pay there good but not great players more money then they may get as a mid to late round pick. The top prospects will still leave to get 1st and 2nd round money but others will stay in college. The two teams still left in the playoffs are very veteran teams with lots of experience many of which playing together just look at their rosters.
Ohio State
QB Will Howard 5th year senior
Rb Henderson senior
RB Judkins junior NIL transfer
WR Egbuka Senior
WR Smith freshman
TE Scottt senior
There line was mostly upper class man as well
Defense top players by
LB Simon 5th year senior
S Styles Junior
S Downs Sophmore Nil deal
S Ransom 5th year senior
DE Sawyer senior
DE Tuimoloau senior
DT Hamilton senior
CB Hancock senior
CB Burke senior
DT Williams Senior
So besides Smith and Downs most everyone else is a senior.
Notre Dame is the same way especially on defense. There 3 man guys have plays 185 college games. The safety is playing game number 70(that isn’t a misprint).

 

[Snuffy Smith]

He will make more this year playing for Miami than his entire first NFL contract would have paid him. Easy decision

You can say that about a large number of these guys that go early now. Beck wasn’t going to go that high anyway, and certainly not now until he proves he can still throw the ball after that surgery.

Downs, McLaughlin and Judkins are at least three...off the top of my head.

Their QB, Will Howard, played at Kansas St the last four years.

 

[CB4]

tOSU brought on a total of six (6) via the transfer portal (Howard, Judkins, Downs, McLaughlin (starters) and other role players -Justin Sayin being one) At the same time, much like Alabama currently, they had 24 portal out.

So they did what many believe the future looks like. Keep the key players and difference makers in the program. And supplement strategically via the portal key areas of need.

IOW, they didn't 'buy a team' - the supplanted their base with players like literally everyone not named clempson is doing. They just spent more to retain their experienced players. This is what all of FBS FB is destined to become.

Also, the notion that OSU spent far more than other schools is off base. Texas spent over $22MM, OSU was second at $20MM, Georgia was third at $18MM. Alabama was in a group at about 5th, spending $16MM.

Josh Pate made this very point is one of videos.

nah, he needs a 20 year contract. He is perfect for uga and kirby.
