The Georgia football program is in capable hands, with Kirby Smart heading the way. Despite the conference reconfiguration, they appear to be a true powerhouse once again. The Bulldogs will need to be at their best if they want to make the College Football Playoffs, and quarterback Carson Beck appears to be aiming for a huge season.
However, Beck isn’t all about the glitz and grandeur. He isn’t glamorous on the field, but he gets the job done, for the most part. According to Chris Low of ESPN, Carson Beck believes that “boring” quarterbacks win games, which is exactly what he plans to accomplish next season.
“If you watch guys like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and some of the greats, during those moments when you just couldn’t stop them, it’s because they’re always in the right place with the ball at the right time. Sometimes it’s boring to watch, but it wins football games.”
I’m not sure I’d ever claim Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are boring, but Carson Beck makes a good point. The deep throws are always exciting plays. However, both Manning and Brady looked for the open guy, no matter who it was. They both threw to the check down guy often and just let their teammates make plays with their legs.
Carson Beck fully plans on helping Georgia football win games. He further explains his “boring” take as he hopes to lead the Bulldogs to another National Championship
“Obviously, it’s wonderful to do something spectacular, but I’m there to win. And with the skill I have at the University of Georgia, it’s all about moving the ball down the field, getting first downs, and throwing touchdowns. That is the name of the game, and if it is dull, I will accept it.”
His teammates seem to love him too. Although last season was the first time Carson Beck played as Georgia’s starting quarterback, linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. claims Beck has exuded confidence since joining the Bulldogs.
“‘Carson’s been that person since he got here,”‘ Georgia senior linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. said. ‘He’s always chill, always calm, always in control. The main thing is that he has confidence in himself, and he had that same confidence even before he played [here], before the whole world got to see him do it.’”
