When he was named the ACC Rookie of the Year you came on here saying he was terrible?
No. Of course you didn’t.
But, to be fair, he had played a bunch of nobodies. Beck has faced defenses and athletes far better than what he’ll see here on a weekly basis.
The kid is a proven, good player. Is he Cam Ward? No. Guess what? Nobody will be. We need someone who can keep the offense humming efficiently while hopefully improving the defense. Beck would be a home run get. There’s no debate. Especially when you are choosing between options like Mendoza, Emory, etc. Mateer was the one. He went elsewhere. A kid like Carson Beck would be a fine consolation prize.
