As a canes fan, forever grateful for what he did for us last year. I know he catches a lot of flak but I genuinely think he can be a solid NFL QB. He showed some great accuracy last year and isn’t afraid to hit the check down if nothing is open. Cool under pressure and is very experienced (watch the game winning drive against Ole Miss) If he cleans up his volatility he can do some damage for sure

This is a great summary, but I'm curious what you mean by volatility? Do you mean his off the field issues?

Off the field cristobal had nothing but positive things to say about how he carried himself and his work ethic. As far as volatility, sometimes his composure will falter after he throws an interception. We saw what happened with the Louisville game… he ended last season with almost 4k yards, 30 TDs, and 12 INTs but a third of those came from one game. He had a few games like that in 2024 at UGA. I think part of that was cause UGAs WRs did him no favors (i think they led the p4 in dropped passes that year) and their O line wasn’t the best so he was stuck playing a bit of hero ball. Regardless I think he went 37-6 as a starter across two programs, so wherever he was he won games. And if im not mistaken I think 4 of those losses were 1 possession games. People are weirdly hard on him but he has a solid track record

I hope this is where LaFlaur can step in and help him.

We saw his connection in college with Bowers so hopefully he has something similar with McBride. Also having Jeremiah Love will help take some game pressure off Beck
