There have been so many questions that have come out since former Georgia football quarterback Carson Beck made the decision to transfer to Miami (FL). And many of those questions have gone unanswered. Unfortunately for the college football world, those questions will likely remain unanswered as we likely will never know what led Beck to make this decision.
While we may never know why Beck chose to do what he did, it won’t stop people from speculating and debating if it was the right choice or not. Many people have discussed if Beck transferring to Miami was a better decision then staying in the NFL Draft or returning to Georgia, but not many have discussed if Miami made the right choice to go after Beck.
That is until former Georgia football legend David Pollack voiced his opinion on Miami’s decision to target Beck in the first place.
“I don’t want to say this. I’m not saying this rude, but like it’s damaged goods right now,” Pollack said via ugawire.usetoday.com. “Like you don’t know what you’re getting, so if you’re going to make a heavy investment (in Beck) I think it’s kind of hard to do if you’re a college team.”
When Beck is at his best, there is no denying that he is one of the top quarterbacks in the entire country. So if the Hurricanes get the best version of Beck later this fall, then they 100 percent made the right call to go after him in the first place.
But will Miami actually see the best version of Beck? Georgia fans would likely be quick to tell Miami that they won’t.
For starters, Beck did not have his best stuff this past season when he was healthy. His 2023 season was better than his 2024 season, and Beck’s leadership qualities also seemed to decline this past year as well. On top of these issues, we also need to factor in Beck’s injury that Pollack discussed.
Who knows how good Beck will be after recovering from this injury. There is a chance this injury doesn’t impact his playing ability at all, but there is also a chance that he is nowhere near the caliber of player that he was before the injury. So Pollack thinks that Miami targeting Beck in general is a questionable decision, especially when you factor in the $3 million in NIL Miami is reportedly paying Beck.
Time will tell if this decision works out for Beck and Miami or not, but a lot of people have their doubts, and that includes Pollack who knows more about college football than most people.
