Carson Beck is entering a new chapter at Miami, but the buzz is already louder than expected. With a fresh start and big goals, the spotlight is on the former Georgia quarterback. Fans want to see if he can rise above the noise and lead with confidence.
However, not everyone is sold on his future with the Hurricanes. Murray’s honest opinion about Beck’s leadership, along with worries about social media drama and off-field distractions, might make you question what lies ahead for the young quarterback.
Former Georgia Quarterback Questions Carson Beck’s Focus Amid TikTok Drama, Locker Room Rumors
Ex-Georgia star and analyst Aaron Murray recently shared concerns about Carson Beck’s offseason distractions. On a recent podcast with JD Pickell, Murray spoke openly about Beck’s maturity and how it might affect his growth as a player.
When Pickell asked Murray where he stands on Beck, especially as Beck prepares for his first year at Miami, the QB-turned-analyst replied, “I still think at the end of the day, if Carson was healthy, he probably would have been the number three quarterback, four quarterback taken off the board.”
The Miami transfer was once seen as a potential No. 1 overall pick. He had the arm, the vision, and the poise. In 2023, he threw for 3,941 yards and 24 touchdowns while completing over 72% of his passes at Georgia.
His deep ball, touch, and quick decision-making turned heads. But even with those numbers, injuries and questions about his leadership shifted the narrative.
He also pointed out issues in Beck’s locker room presence. He said there seemed to be a disconnect between Beck and his Georgia teammates. “There wasn’t this guy that was a true locker room guy,” Murray noted, adding that Gunner Stockton earned more trust and belief from the team.
Beyond the field, Beck’s social media activity—especially on TikTok—and rumored relationship drama haven’t helped his image.
“It’s too much mess. It’s too much for a guy that’s going to be 23, 24 years old. I need you focusing on football,” Murray said. “You’re on a brand new team. You’re coming off at an elbow injury. I don’t need you in the media other than… throwing 20 yards today.”
Despite these concerns, Murray praised Beck’s raw talent—his size, arm strength, and football IQ. He compared Beck to Cam Ward, who went from a mid-round pick to No. 1 overall after a breakout final season.
“Carson Beck is a very gifted passer in the football,” Murray said. “It’s gonna be interesting to see how healthy he looks and how fast he looks when it comes to health to start the season. And then how well he’s built that chemistry with his receivers.”
