Georgia insider details what Gunner Stockton can give UGA that Carson Beck couldn’t

Carson Beck was a solid quarterback at Georgia during his career in Athens. He definitely had his limitations, especially this past season, but he still did a lot of good things before he decided to transfer to Miami (FL).

With Beck now out of the picture, it’s (likely) time for Gunner Stockton to step in and begin his tenure as Georgia’s starting quarterback. It remains to be seen how good he is on the field, but one thing that no one should doubt are his leadership qualities.

Kaylee Mansell with Dawg Nation put it perfectly when she compared Stockton’s leadership qualities to what Beck showcased while at Georgia.

"I think that Gunner is really everything that you want in a QB from a leadership perspective because he definitely is someone that leads by example rather than by words, which is a major step up from Carson Beck."

Gunner Stockton is a major upgrade when it comes to his leadership qualities

Stockton can be somewhat reserved at times, but he has the ability to be the perfect leader for Georgia. Sure he can be a vocal leader from time to time, but as Mansell details above he is at his best when he leads by example.

Beck’s overall leadership was questioned throughout his entire Georgia career, even when he was winning a lot of football games. But the second the wheels started to fall off he was not always there to pick the team up. That however will never be a problem with Stockton.

Stockton could have the best leadership qualities in the world, but none of that matters if he doesn’t perform on the field. But if he’s able to lead Georgia to a lot of wins while being an elite leader, then there’s a chance Stockton goes down as one of the greatest quarterbacks in Gerogia’s history.
