Beck ain’t it, whiffed on Mendoza

Yeah we did overlook Mendoza. Honestly I would have been upset if we got him and not a proven guy. But **** he is playing good. We got Beck and I think he is still good despite last night. He’s won championships and big games.

Imagine if we reacted this way with wards only “bad game” against FSU who was playing similar defense

Not to say beck wasn’t bad last night, he was definitely off. But he’s shown me enough through his career and the last few weeks to know he will bounce back just fine

it’s not just the interceptions. He’s not on target even on his completions. Even Kirk herbstreit called it out last night. Go back and watch ND, USF, and UF his throws are off in a way that cause the receivers to lose momentum; getting tackled for a loss on screens or no gain otherwise. Stats against power 5 ain’t all that great: 68%, 705 yards, 5 tds, 3 ints “ wah wah🎺🎺”. He’s averaging 235 yds/game 1.66 tds and 1 int. That ain’t gonna get it done in the playoffs and a lot of you schlubs are gonna be butt hurt when it’s a tight game and he throws a pick on a game ending 2 minute drive.

Meanwhile hometown kid Fernando Mendoza tosses 5 tds against a top ten with no ints on the season. But hey loafers don’t lie.

Bring on the hate🤫🤫🤫

Illini is not a top 10 team.

Floridas defense is likely a top 10 defense they just don’t have the offense to fuel them.

Beck had limited time to practice preseason so naturally he’s still a bit rusty.

Some of the routes were off due to miscommunications, holds by the D. However do agree he has been overthrowing and under throwing some passes. Although you need to remember nobody is perfect.

You clearly haven’t been watching this team for the past 3 decades. This team feels different. Enjoy it rather than being a whiney B&$@tch.

OP isn't completely wrong about Beck.

I disagree on the Mendoza thing though.

I still think getting Beck was the best choice.

But last night really had me thinking that if Cam was on THIS team, I think we are a shoe in to go to the National Title game.

I do think Beck will play better at FSU. But the rest is yet to be determined. All we can do is watch him progress.

Exactly! Yeah I’m being a little over critical and hyperbolic but it’s a message board. Cam ward on this team and not only are we a shoe in but we blow every team out of the water.
Where we disagree is I think, **in hindsight** Mendoza will have a better year, same with the kid at OU from WSU. My bet is out of those three beck will have the worst year. Further hes worth something but I wouldn’t have paid him $3 million, playing like $1-$1.5 million

IDK what you expect when it was raining so hard the majority of the game. Would love to see what your hero and savior would do with a wet football on a wet field, which greatly assisted the UF defense. Beck passed with high efficiency the first three games when it didn’t rain as much as it did during the UF game.
 
I mean Beck was awful last night, and I am considered a sunshine pumper.

Mendoza I was a fan of last year in portal, many weren't. Mendoza will get drafted higher than Beck.

Maybe the moisture was an issue with Brockermeyer and the snap/ball.

Beck has to play better against FSU.

One of the worst performance I have ever seen from a Miami Qb. If he cannot throw a ball in the wet rain then him and his receivers need to spend hours each week in the pouring rain playing 7 vs 7. He was throwing balls into the ground last night on 10 yard throws. Honestly looked like he was throwing with his left hand instead of his right. Beyond pathetic. Mendoza from Indiana would have been a much better pick up and was a huge mistake not to get him. Mateer from Okahoma is a 100 times better.

OP's taking a beating, and deservedly so. But I'd be lying to not say there's a level of concern with Beck. Holy crap, with Cam at the helm what would this team look like?
So yeah, off night. Bad weather, not much separation on a lot of the routes....
But within the context of this team being poised to make a run, I am a bit concerned about Beck.
 
Time to play Luke…he better than everyone. Or is it Emory is the gawd?

Those 15-0 posts aren’t so funny when we look this good.
