Fans, media argue Carson Beck was ‘scapegoated’ at Georgia after strong start to Miami career

Carson Beck accomplished some big things in his 2 years as the starting quarterback at Georgia, but he transferred this offseason to Miami.

While he helped Georgia win the SEC last year and make it to the College Football Playoff despite an injury, many Georgia fans weren’t upset that he left.

However, he has gotten the 2025 season off to a great start at Miami. A strong showing through the first 3 quarters helped the Hurricanes take a commanding 21-7 lead over Notre Dame. Fans and media have taken to social media to discuss whether Beck was made to be a scapegoat at Georgia.

Carson Beck’s body language is drastically different from what we saw last year. He’s having fun.
It’s obvious he needed a change from Georgia and I think Georgia needed a change from him.

Win-win for both.

Thinking about how many times Carson Beck made this throw to Arian Smith last year and it was dropped. pic.twitter.com/TMcJXUME5r

Carson Beck looks great but Miami OL is way better than Georgia so he has time to throw

Carson Beck's receivers dropped passes all year last season at Georgia and now he's throwing grabass balls off his back foot and this happens?

AURA. https://t.co/yANjPSDrAN

Georgia needed to move on from Carson Beck and Carson needed to move on from Georgia.

Win-Win

Carson Beck was a team’s scapegoat last year. Been saying it.

Beck still had a productive career at Georgia. He won two national championships as a backup, and helped the Bulldogs win the SEC Championship last year and make it as the No. 2 seed in the CFP.

The Bulldogs got a solid performance by Gunner Stockton in Week 1 against Marshall, as he finished with 263 yards of total offense and four total touchdowns.

While it is only Week 1, it feels like this could be a situation where both sides involved end up better for it.
