What is the controversy around Carson Beck's NIL deal?
What is that? What is that sound? It's not for many people. You do not give that sound very often. I want to tackle this thing, though, with Miami, because now Ryan Clark is talking about Mario Cristobal, and it really is a funny thing to watch happen. Where it's just like, all right, this is how we're doing it in college football now. It's going to be, of course, I mean, of course, it's going to be, schools are going to be fighting over players because everybody's trying to win and you can get them for money now. And there may be rules, but it seems like a lot of competitive people might be able to work around them in a lot of creative ways. If the local car dealership, you know. has 20 extra million that they want to put into the program. Stigatz, the game is getting funny now, right? Max Crosby's assistant GM at Eastern Michigan. Why? Because he wants to make a big donation, and it helps, and they can buy some players, and it's fun. Yes, while still playing in the NFL.
Why wouldn't these players want to be involved with just, all right, it's all going to be fantasy league. We're just going to throw money around all over the place, and a quarterback's going to be worth $4 million when I want you to imagine that conversation five years ago. Just think about it for a second. And when we talk about Carson Beck, and people are talking a lot about Carson Beck, Stugatz, because there are not that many players in the portal age where you're like, yep, know that guy. He's a star. He's valuable. George has been in all of the big moments for a while. Well, that may be up for debate.
Why is Ryan Clark 'out of his depth' on the Carson Beck topic?
It's a weird thing that is done with Carson Beck, and I understand the arm injury. It's a big thing. But that's the conversation. People, including Ryan Clark, and I think to a degree Jess, have convinced themselves that Carson Beck isn't good. Carson Beck entered last season as not... Consensus was hard to find, but on many mock drafts, he was picked to go number one overall. And Ryan Clark said something to the effect on television today when talking about Nico. Mario Cristobal is partly at fault because he gave, quote, $4 million to Carson Beck, and he's not the best quarterback in the country. Number one, Ryan Clark, you don't know the number. You're off base. Number two, if you're directly comparing Carson Beck to Nico, Carson Beck is quite almost literally twice the quarterback statistically than Nico. Nico was tied for 36th in the nation in QBR last season. Carson Beck was eight. Carson Beck won the SEC as QB1. He's an accomplished quarterback that's made a lot of money for himself inside that conference and now over at Miami.
You don't need to invoke Mario Cristobal, especially when you're out of your depth.
Well, when you won't tell us the number, you can see where people would think they know the number. There's a guy who knows the number who won't tell us what the number is.
I mean, shut Ryan Clark up. Let me explain why I won't tell you the number. Because it doesn't hurt Miami for Ryan Clark to go on television and just say things like Miami paid Carson Beck $4 million. That doesn't hurt Miami at all. You know why? Because just like the previous season, the quarterbacks that enter that portal are going to talk to Miami because the national perception is Miami pays the quarterbacks. And if you're in the game of trying to acquire talent, you don't mind that perception out there because it gets you in the room where things happen with these quarterbacks. So why would I reveal the number?
Yes, you're correct that Carson Beck was one of the top quarterbacks going into last season, but he underperformed also and threw a lot of interceptions last year and then got a really devastating injury.
