    Beck is the one being a pansy. That's what you don't seem to understand.

    So you give a link to a clip where Lambert says to put dresses on quarterbacks. What does that have to do with anything?

    You put money on Jack to do what? Do you think Jack Lambert actually hunted down and punched out opposing players? This is a fantasy in your own head that you are sensationalizing. It's a persona that he created. He isn't a real-life Punisher.

    You aren't even making any sense. Here you go off on some tangent that has nothing to do with the conversation about Carson Beck.

    We are talking about quarterback Carson Beck disrespecting the game and his opponents by not shaking hands after the game, and the Steelers may be considering drafting him as the leader of their team.

    Did Big Ben ever not shake an opponent's hand after a loss in a championship game?

    Does Carson Beck not taking a college class for two years, working exclusively on football, and still sucking in big moments resonate with you? That's what we are talking about here. Carson Beck as the potential draft target of the Steelers.

    Stop trying to make it about something else.

    That was a terrible look for him, reminds me of a pouting 10 year old. That behavior alone will drop him big in a lot of teams rankings . I wouldn't get near him.

    That is the key point here. Beck is a professional football player at this point. And Georgia is not exactly some shrinking violet program that can not go toe to toe with the highest level of DI competition.

    Beck was not all that great in those situations. How does he get better in the NFL?

    I’m more interested in his ability to play QB than a one off bad moment in the heat of battle. The guy just threw an interception that cost them a championship.

    Also we as fans don’t know what was going on during the field of play, maybe guys were crossing the line with things they were saying or taking cheap shots although I cant recall how many times he was hit that game but still, he doesnt have a history of not shaking hands as far as I know.

    He also was complimentary towards Indiana in his presser after the game.

    Beck showed how he could handle adversity at the combine. He was booed unmercifully every time it was his turn to throw by the hometown Indiana crowd. Yet he turned in a very good performance, Rich Eisen said that his being cool under the pressure that no other QB there had to face impressed a lot of the teams.

    Actually, Mendoza was the quarterback that was taking questionable hits the entire game. Miami probably got away with at least 2-3 more late hit penalties on Mendoza than were called against them.

    Beck had a hit on him that was actually called a late hit late in that game. It isn't an excuse to act as he did. There is never an excuse to act as Beck did.

    For me, it's one of those things that you add on to a list of things that he has done.

    He threw a wide receiver under the bus after a game this past season when he threw four interceptions against Louisville.

    Another time he openly said he didn't have love for the game while at Georgia.

    He has a history of saying and doing things that make me not want him as my starting quarterback.

    I don't want any part of Beck. He's an average QB at best, with below average intelligence and an above average ego. And why does Beck look like Joe Burrow with fetal alcohol syndrome?

    You do know that Beck is still only 23 years old. He does not turn 24 until November.

    I would still like to know more information on why he left Georgia. His girlfriend at the time was attending Miami, so that may have been one of the reason's Beck picked Miami, but why did he leave Georgia?

    The girlfriend at Miami might have played a role but there are 4 million other reasons why he left GA for Miami. No way in hell Kirby was going to let him get that kind of coin at GA.

    I get why people are put off by the no handshake I didnt like it either at the time but we’ve seen it at the pro level too, we’ve seen coaches do it, players do it, **** happens, as long as it isnt something you regularly do, Im not going to hold people to a standard of perfection.

    I have zero problem with saying a WR ran the wrong route, I don’t have a problem with that just like I didn’t have a problem with Ben saying Washington didnt run through the catch. If I was a WR Id tell my QB dont you dare take the blame for my **** up.

    We bemoan when athletes give canned responses and then crucify them for authentic answers. I’ll take authentic.

    Is it nice for a QB to want to protect his teammates, sure but it’s not necessary either and I think it would be a reach to say Beck hasnt protected teammates in his pressers but people get frustrated sometimes.

    JFC people
    it was the championship game like the super bowl
    handshakes are typically not a big thing

    winning team is celebrating
    confetti sticking to every sweaty surface
    stages being set up
    ball boys bagging
    cheerleaders splitting
    some annoying announcer blabbing on a PA system


    yeah a high percentage of championships end without a handshake

    world series too
    hey pile of men! lets shake and say good game

    NOPE IT'S
    CHAMPAGNE TIME

    He reminds me of the guy he backed up, Stetson Bennett. The CFB success didn’t translate to pro football

    The main issue to me with Beck is that he has a propensity to throw it into coverage, and he just doesn't have the arm to do that successfully in the NFL. He's a big guy with a meh arm, a meh athlete, has some attitude issues, and isn't a natural leader. I question whether or not he even has starter upside in the league. There just isn't a lot to be excited about. He's going to be a system based, turnover prone QB who struggles with pressure and has accountability issues. He has size and system fit here in Pittsburgh, but unless he becomes a great leader and a great processor of defenses to counteract his issues with pressure... he's just going to be a back up, and probably not even a great one.

    You mention Darnold, but I think Darnold's floor is as high as Beck's ceiling. Darnold is immensely talented... He just got drafted by the Jets. I don't think Beck is particularly talented.

    Probably a fair assessment. He's a poor man's Bennett. He isn't the leader that Bennett was in college, nor was he a "rise to the occasion" type like Bennet was... but both of them were highly successful in college while not really having NFL caliber talents.

    Its not necessarily the action of not shaking hands that's the issue, its the pattern of who Beck has been as a teammate. He's a "throw his teammates under the bus and then throw it in reverse" type of guy. It's well known and documented that he has a lack of accountability, often blaming coaching and teammates when things go poorly. The incident at the National Championship is just a single (more insignificant) incident in a long string of "this guy is just a prick" incidents.

    Personally, I don't want us to go anywhere near Beck. He's a better prospect than he is a person, and he's not a great prospect.

    I have stated this now since midway of the 2025 CFB Season that Carson Beck looked the best among the 2026 QBs. I have stood by that statement since. Regardless, this shouldn't surprise anyone.


    Carson Beck, among all QBs in this class, possesses the necessary traits and tools to succeed in the NFL. In addition, Mike McCarthy runs an Offense tailored to him; the West Coast Offense. If I were to choose between him and Allar, I would still want Allar but I do understand why Beck would get the nod.


    The question isn't about if the Steelers select Beck. Now the question remains as to how early they select him. As per usual, who knows?! It will depend on the board but Round One can safely be ruled out.

    I'm not making sense? Brother, you're the one trying to make up non sense what I was referring to on jack.

    Simply is this. You're upset Beck didn't shake hands. Yet you're not caring about
    - the issues big ben had with coaches (again Terry and Joey called him out).
    - And now someone in this thread just mentioned how chuck refused to shake hands with a guy.

    If this was something like a rule or fines happened, I'll hear you out. But you make it in your head like it is a penalty/fine.

    And one last thing, we have no idea what happened the entire time. It's not like cameras are on them 24/7 and we don't know if something else transpired.

    Disagree with just about all of that lol.

    But in regards to Darnold, I was specifically speaking about Becks lack of athleticism. I dont think Darnold had to extend 1 play and still won a ring.
