It has been quite some time since former Georgia football QB Carson Beck announced his shocking decision to transfer to Miami (FL). Okay, maybe it hasn't even been a month yet, but in today's day and age that is a really long time.
But everyone has had an opportunity to voice their opinions on this decision, so Beck's transfer is officially old news. However, a new party just voiced their opinion on this subject for the first time, and that is Beck's former high school coach Bobby Ramsay.
Ramsay could have discussed a lot of different things surrounding Beck's decision to move on to Miami, but he instead took the time to take a shot at Georgia and the Bulldogs' fanbase for how they handled it.
"The way it ended, it seemed like he was scapegoated for the season they had," Ramsay said via 247sports.com. "They don't get back in the Alabama game if he doesn't throw them back into it. They don't beat Tennessee if he doesn't play the way he played. … The drops this year weren't just drops; they were brutal drops. I'm talking 40 yards down the field, game-changing plays, dropped. The Georgia WRs didn't give him a lot of help. When you're dropping balls that flip the field, take points off the board, change the momentum of a game, that's hard to overcome, especially with the schedule they played."
"He's coming in with a chip on his shoulder," Ramsey continued. "He's taking notes. He's keeping receipts. He's coming in highly motivated because his goals for this year were to win a national title and win the Heisman, and he didn't accomplish that. His goals have not changed."
Does Ramsay have a point?
Beck's former coach does make a couple good points. While Beck didn't have the season anyone (including Beck) hoped for, he still deserves a lot of credit for the wins and success Georgia found this season. It is interesting however that Ramsay made such a point to bring this up because no Georgia fan has ever denied that Beck had great moments this seeason.
However, Beck still was not very good for part of the season and that really hurt the Bulldogs. There were a few stretches where Beck was an interception machine and the Bulldogs honestly were pretty lucky (shoutout to the defense) that they still won these games because Beck didn't really do much to win those games.
So Ramsay can blame the wide receivers and the difficult schedule all he wants. Everyone knows that Beck wasn't at his best this season and when the season was over Beck shut himself out from the entire team. That is not what a leader should have done and that is why Beck has received so much backlash from this decision.
