Should we be worried about Carson Beck’s latest play?

Should we be worried about Carson Beck’s latest play?

Georgia football is currently at an all-time high after beating the No. 1 Texas Longhorns on the road 30-15. And while it’s very difficult to be picky just two days after that big win, I think there is one thing that is very concerning as we look ahead to the final stretch of Georgia’s season.

Carson Beck’s quarterback play.

Now before everyone gets upset, let me explain. Beck has been very good this season, better than most quarterbacks in the country. Beck has completed 66 percent of his passes for 1,993 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. Stats aside, Beck has also shown that he can make every single throw required to be a very successful quarterback.

But there’s still one thing about his recent performances that makes me nervous for the rest of the season.

Beck hasn’t been a very consistent QB this year, especially recently. That even showed in Georgia’s win over Texas on Saturday, when he threw three interceptions. Turning the ball over in general has been an issue for Beck lately, as he also had two interceptions against Mississippi State two games ago and had three more in Georgia’s only loss to Alabama.

Not only does he have trouble turning the ball over, he also starts every game slowly. To be fair to Beck, this is a problem with the entire Georgia offense, but I think it all starts with the quarterback under center. In my mind, it’s only a matter of time before another team takes advantage of the slow start on offense, just like Alabama did.

Luckily, the UGA defense has been playing extremely well so it hasn’t been a factor lately, but I’d like to not have to rely on them completely every single game.

I know I’m probably being a little picky at the moment, but I still think this is something worth mentioning and discussing. At Georgia, we expect to win national championships. And while I still think the Bulldogs can win it all with their current style of play, it would be a lot easier if Beck was a little more consistent and stopped turning the ball over.

If that happens, I don’t think any team in the country can compete with Georgia.
