Athletic arrogance? I kinda like that term.

We also landed Beck late sorta like Cam (within days of eachother IIRC)

We’ve got the spring budget in place and even though some people are not big on Beck there’s not a ton of teams with better options going into this season (aside from potential)

If we have the money and a solid opportunity then we should have a lot of options here

Beck’s main problem is he will be compared all season to the #1 pick i n the NFL draft, which is completely unfair, but we know it will happen.
If we asked UM fans 2 years ago would they accept the #1 QB and easily a top 10 if not top 5 college QB in back to back seasons, every single one of us would have said YES!

Looking at the QB landscape and Heisman trophy odds is a sobering reality

Drew Allar is the most accomplished returning guy (other than Beck perhaps) and then you got guys like Arch and Julian Sayin

Cam Ward takes a big steaming **** on every single name on that list and if he was playing this year you could just give him the trophy right now

If this kid didn't play on the same High School team as Yeremiah Smiff, he'd have been much more talked about.

But just for a little context, he was the #42 overall recruit on the composite, and the #9 WR. That is an ELITE recruit. When you're 10 spots off being a 5-star, you're expected to be an alpha in Year 2. More often than not, those top end 5-stars are the kids who are the most "college ready" (again, think Smiff), but these high 4-star kids are top end NFL prospects in their own right, they're usually just not quite into that 5-star air because they need a little more development.

It's great to hear reports like this, but I fully expected this to happen. I'd have been more surprised if we heard he was really struggling versus this. He's a ******* stud.

You wouldn't have heard if he was struggling, because that kinda stuff isn't allowed to be reported in Spring.

They'd have easily said they'd prefer Beck over Ward at that time too. We got spoiled in just one year.
