Please check the facts (@daves)

Dante Moore 18 starts
Ty Simpson 15 starts

Here is the list of QB's that had less than 20 starts in college who had the most TD passes in the NFL.

This is why you don't take these guys without experience.

I swear the NCAA just flips a coin depending on the player in these situations. Moore, Simpson and Chambliss entering the draft makes it more fun whether we end up with one of them or not.

Of all the QB candidates, he might be the easiest to scout. His plusses and minuses are very well defined. He gets some comparison to Nix mostly because he’s essentially had college coaching for 7 years. He’s what is labeled a high floor, low ceiling guy. Those who shun Simpson because of few college starts, see Beck as the opposite.

The good stuff is he’s poised under pressure and willing to take a hit to make a play. He’s not a talented runner, but he’ll run to get a first down. He’s accurate on short and midrange throws. He uses progressions and is at least decent at sizing up matchups.

The negatives are he is not an accurate deep thrower. He has a strong arm, but is not a precision passer throwing deep. He throws line drives well, but does not have great touch. He sometimes throws short passes too hard. He can run for a short distance, but is not elusive. His rollout throws can be erratic.

Beck can start more quickly than other choices, maybe immediately, but he is not likely to become a top tier QB. He goes late one or two, likely to a team looking for a place holder.
Like the Arizona Cardinals

Based on all those it seems 20 starts should be a bare minimum

Carson Beck is interesting.

He just turned 23 in November even though he has been in college for 6 years and has 41 starts (36-5)
He is a 2 time Natl Champion (in championship game again this year). He got injured in SEC championship in 2024 otherwise he would declared for draft last year.
~70% completion % in college
Did it against big time competition and on big stages

Beck sucks badly. If he ends up in the NFL, it won’t be as a starter.

Herbert is now 0–3 in the playoffs and already on his 3rd head coach. That’s usually when franchises start looking to make a change.. If the Chargers ever make a move at QB, the Cardinals should be first in line. Forget the playoff narrative, Herbert instantly raises the floor of this team.

Absolutely. People crying that Kyler doesn't have any support would shudder at the reality that is the Charger's pass pro.

Sorry. Herbert seems like a nice guy and all but the kid loses, plain and simple.
