Miami did choose Carson Beck. He was just a beneficiary of the best program in the country and also not a great QB. Better than Nico but not great.

Oh puh-leez

Beck was and is 3x the QB last year Nico was

Georgia generally starting to slide back to reality was blamed on him. As soon as they saw what they had with Stockton in the playoffs then they realized they had a problem.

Honestly man, that entire QB class is just not up to par. Arch, Nico, Nelson, Arnold, etc etc. Dante Moore is the only one playing well

I never want to see Nico step on the field inside Neyland, but he is not the worst of QBs you may want him to be. That UCLA team is terrible and Nico has no leadership qualities to make them want to play better than their talent level.
Just as all pro sports, he will be looked at for potential. End of season many will be looking to replace an experienced QB that has graduated, will see the 5* potential, ignoring what the past has shown, and spend that NIL money like it was coming out of someone else’s pocket (lol). My thinking is he is best suited for a team with good talent that has others with the leadership quality.

Nico threw for 19 TD and 5 INT with a very similar completion percentage compared to Beck’s last year. So according to your “3x the QB” claim then Beck should have thrown for close to 57 TD and maybe 1 or 2 INT. 3x a better QB would be pretty much Joe Burrow in 2019. Yeah ok bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps lands at Occidental College over there in CA. They don’t have a football program and is where they filmed Clueless.

He ain't getting another big NIL deal so it would be in his best interest to stay put. Maybe UCLA hires a good coach who turns things around, maybe they don't and they win a handful of games over the next couple years. His best shot at remaining on a good payroll is UCLA. He ain't about winning a championship.

You still didn’t answer my rebuttal 🤣. You really think I’m advocating that Nico is a good QB? I’m just pointing out that Beck is not much better and the stats were very comparable between them last year whenever you take into account Beck turned the ball over at a higher rate. I wouldn’t want either of them starting for my team. If I had to choose, I would begrudgingly pick Beck to start but neither gives me confidence to be a guy to will his team to victory. I have more confidence in Aguilar and Pavia leading their teams then I do either Nico or Beck.

Really can’t see Nico going to a high profile P5 at all. Not good enough and there’s just too much baggage. Miami and Texas Tech can throw money at someone much better, why would they settle for Nico?

Even Colorado has Julian Lewis now, and i have a hard time believing they’ll choose Nico over him. If he thinks he’s gonna waltz into a better situation that where he’s at right now he’s in for a rude awakening, I think.

He already had that at Tennessee. Didn’t work for him. He is athletic but does not have the mental part of the game.

How many of those 19 TDs came vs our 4 crappy OOC opponents last year? 10 or 11. Lol

The dude is gone man. We can admit now that he sucked. We have no more duties to defend him ha ha.

Nico does suck. I have been admitting that lol. Beck is just a little less sucky. I really don’t know how hard that is to comprehend. However you need to twist these words into your brain, but whatever it is I feel like you are just trying to argue for no reason. The majority of Volnation knows Nico sucks and I think the majority of objective football fans think Beck is not much better.

ADHD thought: What if Nico wasn’t working that hard and maybe him going home was about the parents wanting to help him focus more on his career?

Says Tex Tech or Miami may be the destination. Says Nico will probably play the season but still no guarantees

Yep Texas tech or Miami is so much closer to home and family. Blue font. This kid needs to grow up, he's in charge....but doesn't know how to act like it.
