Carson Beck handled Miami's CFP title loss in a way that will not shock Georgia fans

Death, taxes, and Carson Beck throwing a game-sealing pick with a chance to win it on the line. The former Georgia Bulldogs star saw his six-year college career come to an end like many people in Dawg Nation expected it would. He tried to be cute, made it about him, and let his team down in the end. Miami learned the hard way what Georgia already knew. Beck really loves himself some Beck...

So when he did not shake Fernando Mendoza's hand after losing in the title bout, were you surprised?

This is not meant to be a character assassination of one of the most intriguing college football quarterbacks of the NIL era. It is about finally putting to rest the shamelessly feckless and fabricated narrative the national media put forth about the guy, just because it was convenient. Beck may be a team player, but he is not some victim here. Nobody who drives a Lamborghini at 22 is a victim, folks.

Clearly, Beck had a lot to unpack emotionally, as he is off to the NFL to be someone's mid-round pick.

Carson Beck not shaking Fernando Mendoza's hand is not surprising at all

At the end of the day, we all wanted a good game. We certainly got that in Miami on Monday night. Indiana won, but Miami covered. In the end, the more disciplined and well-coached team proved victorious at Hard Rock Stadium. The former two-star from down the road who was originally committed to Yale just won a national title in his hometown, all before becoming the No. 1 overall pick.

When we look at Beck's college football career, we have to teach ourselves to view him through the many shades of grey this sport often gives us. Unfortunately, we have become so damn tribal as a society to view pretty much anything with nuance or tact. When it comes to Beck, yes, we was a fine college quarterback. He gave his all for his team. But was he a DGD? We all know the answer to that...

To attempt to tie a bow on this, ask yourself this one question: Would Mendoza have been brave enough to give Beck a firm handshake and a hug if Indiana lost by one? The guy does not have a mean bone in his body. This suped-up version of Kirk Cousins is going to do extraordinary things in Southern Nevada. As for Beck, he can hope to be the guy who replaces Mac Jones in San Francisco.

When you are an athlete making millions of dollars, you have to be aware of who all is watching you.
