Was Beck a good ROI

[TexasCane90]

There are few candidates that won this game and Beck isn’t one of them.
He helped propel us to this point and I salute that.
But how god awful he was today

Dawson wasn’t helping…. The offense never got int a rhythm because as much as I love the Toney gadget stuff it was horribly over used.

After the 1st it should have been scrapped when fletch had I think 4 carries for 40 yards…. You know 10YPC lol it was pretty obvious at that point what was killing them and it was perfect with the way the wind was howling

Sitting in my couch and reflecting about how we handled business in college station. But one thought that lingers was Beck a good ROI. Quickly I can say No, since he has not been as attractive as Ward, and today Beck demonstrated that he will not be the magician that Ward was.

From the flip side, he did not lose us the game or was a negative impact on the totality of the game, but we did invest 4.5 million.

Ultimately, the $4.5 million question comes down to how you define value in the modern NIL era. If the goal was relevance, momentum, and signaling Miami’s willingness to spend like a national contender, the investment largely delivered. If the goal was immediate, unquestioned dominance, the verdict is far less clear.

In today’s college football landscape, big bets are unavoidable. Whether this one was truly “worth it” may not be fully answered until we see what Miami builds next—because the price tag wasn’t just for a quarterback, but for the direction of the program.

Anyways, excited and grateful for The U!

Suck a you know what.

Dawson put him in awful spots the whole game. We knew aTm is elite on 3rd&4+ and we were there all game because Dawson refused to run consistently until the second half.
The wind would've effected Josh Allen today.

 

[jed2410]

We watched the guy on the other sidelines lose them the game when they were actually moving the ball against us here and there

I'm not complaining about Beck today

 

[Cane&Abel]

Cam Ward punching the air right now!!! If he had this Defense last year …. CHAMPS !

 

[Cajuncane]

All kickers have off days especially when you have such extenuating circumstances that Davis had today. I’m just glad it didn’t cost us the game and I’m hoping he can put it out of his mind and and get back to kicking great like he did for pretty much the rest of the year cause we will need him several more times I’d imagine along this ride to #6.

 

[ST26]

In Becks defense, Dawson gave him no chance to even get in a grove

 

[canes_226]

ATM was the number one team on 3rd down

We did Beck no favors

With that said passing game sucked today

But it was one of those games

if you told me we would hold TAMU to 3 points I would have thought you are crazy

Your analysis is incorrect. If we had the option of Beck or Mendoza then yeah but you are doing so with hindsight.

Would we be 10-2 and in the playoffs with Emory or Luke? If not, then yes he was worth it.

Is he performing to what he’s being paid…no but he didn’t throw the game away like Louisville.

He’s going to end up being undrafted in my opinion if he keeps it up.

My issue with Beck is you can’t be immobile and inaccurate or making the wrong reads.

We have Cam Ward and we’re a number 1 seed and national title favorites.

 

[Caned Peach]

Then maybe Oklahoma will be interested.

aTm too.

Too analytical. It was either Beck or Emily Williams.

 

[JBCanes-NC]

Shannon Dawson is ****n terrible. Cam Ward propped his *** up

 

[caneforlifeforreal]

Assuming the ***gies didn't actually test that I can't throw a football, I could have done what Beck did today.

He was very poor - we won in spite of him. We've won because of him this season too - that's the trade off.

YOU COULDVE DONE WHAT CARSON BECK DID TODAY



AND ONE MORE FOR THE CHIP THATS COMING

 

[P-Tizzle]

Too soon...
Still celebrating, still emotional.
Can we stop with these type of threads..cmon yall

 

[112_cane]

Beck had a horrific game. Terrible. If he plays like this at OSU we will lose.
Thank god for Fletcher and Toney. And a pretty good defensive outing
We must play 100% better next week.
Please Fletcher 30 carries. Up the gut. Running outside didn’t work today and the screens?

Horrific? Did he throw game changing ints? He did not have a good game...but he didn't lose us the game like the QB on the other side did.

He threw 1 td. No turnovers and completed 70pct of his passes on the road in windy conditions. NOT "Horrific"

 

[ristwasdown]

Seeing as how we've made over 4M in playoff appearances, yes.

Could there have been higher ROI in the portal, yes.

I'm not complaining. We paid for his experience. It paid off and translated to the team

NOW DO JOHN MATEER WHO THREW A SECOND PICK SIX IN THE LAST TWO GAMES

and on a critical 3rd and 4 from Bama territory had 25 yards of open grass in front of him- and instead of running threw it 40 yards down field for an incompletion. next play Bama blocked the punt.

next possession pick Six.

rest of game Mateer is outscored 34-7

Not today.

 

[skeeter]

Yes.

He was terrible today and against Louisville, but we were staring down the barrel of a season with Emory Williams under Centre.

I don't think he's helped his Draft stock though, like Ward did.

I don't think he was terrible today…Yes the passing game was terrible overall, but it's not like he was missing guys, holding the ball forever, or turning it over. They were simply smothering us and the short passing game…And in the 1h we had no answer for the blitz at all.

And then when you throw in some wind?

This was simply a bloodbath game and Beck wasn't going to win it.

Not speaking about the ROI thing overall…Just a comment that there were two defenses out there today that were kicking the opposing offenses ***…Outside of final boss 4th quarter Mark Fletcher.

Let’s frame it a little differently.

Assume Beck is being paid $4.5 million for this season. Now assume Mateer or Mendoza would have cost roughly the same. In that scenario, the quarterback spend was essentially fixed regardless of who we chose.

So the real question isn’t whether Beck was “worth” $4.5 million in a vacuum. It’s whether saving any NIL money ($2–3 million?) for future recruits, who would have zero impact on the 2025 season, would be preferable to spending it now on a top-10 quarterback who managed the team into the playoff and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Put simply, was saving $2–3 million worth missing the playoff? Or is $2–3 million a tiny price to pay to get into the playoffs (ignoring all financial benefits from making it)?

I think it’s a pretty simple question
