Since the conception of the sport, the quarterback has and always will be the most important position in all of football.
So Bulldogs’ quarterback Carson Beck announced that he would be returning for the 2024 season, Georgia fans were understandably elated. But Beck’s decision may be more impactful to the Bulldogs’ upcoming season than one might think.
First off, the Bulldogs 2024 season is an absolute grinder. On top of their usual SEC slate, Georgia will have to travel to Alabama, Texas, and Ole Miss.
Having a veteran signal-caller such as Carson Beck will be a massive bonus for the Bulldogs, who will be playing in extremely hostile environments.
Another bonus that could come from Beck’s return is retention in the wide receiver room. The quarterback built excellent chemistry with numerous pass-catchers during the 2023 season.
This means that his return may be more of an incentive for draft-eligible Bulldogs such as Rara Thomas, Marcus Rosemary-Jacksaint, Ladd McConkey, and Dominic Lovett to return as well.
But perhaps the best news of it all is that there will be no growing pains at the quarterback during the 2024 season. Even with a season as impressive as Carson Beck’s 2023 campaign, there were still moments early in the year when it felt like the offense wasn’t exactly firing on all cylinders.
The Georgia Bulldogs will have an uphill battle throughout their 2024 schedule. But with Beck’s experience and decision-making abilities making a return, the Dawgs have an excellent shot at returning to the national spotlight as championsh of college football.
