Ktmguy2018 No. 1 Share Posted December 24, 2024 I can already hear it: "well, we WOULD have won the natty if Carson Beck was playing, but he had to have surgery". Nope, you wouldn't have.

Cacker Guy No. 2 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Tough break. I feel bad for the kid. I think Georgia will be fine -- their defense should carry them. I hope we see them in the NC game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar No. 3 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Why did it take so long for this to be announced. He clearly was unable to use his elbow to even jog on the field for the last play of the game. It was obviously a major injury. Georgia's biggest weakness besides their inconsistency, is their receivers are bad. They can't catch for starters, they can't get very open and they can't do anything special if they actually do end up with the ball in their hands. The difference from Bowers and McConkey last year is huge. They aren't elite like last year for that reason alone. That being said, as Josh Pate often mentions, the "QB down" effect is a real, that the rest of the team feels they need to pick up the slack for the backup QB and often play better than with their starter as long as the QB drop off isn't too big. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
