In a stunning turn of events, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has officially hit the brakes on his season after undergoing elbow surgery, prompting an elite musical debut: "Carson’s Surgery Playlist: A Journey Through the Pain and Recovery." As Gunner Stockton steps into the spotlight as the new starting quarterback for the College Football Playoff, Beck decided to share the soundtrack of his surgical journey with fans everywhere. "What better way to celebrate my transition from hero to spectator than with a killer playlist?" Beck enthusiastically declared from his couch, surrounded by ice packs and a plethora of snacks suitable for post-operative recovery. Among the tracks featured in "Carson's Surgery Playlist" are classics like "Under Pressure" by Queen, "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, and a touching rendition of “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton, which Beck says perfectly encapsulates his feelings about suddenly needing to hand over the reins to Stockton. However, the true gem of the album is the power ballad "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes, which Beck announced will be his anthem while he stitches up his elbow and patches up his dreams of glory. The announcement of Stockton’s promotion to the starting role was met with widespread fanfare—mostly because that's the kind of fanfare that only exists when the backup quarterback has a wild last name and is about to enter the playoffs. "Gunner Stockton? Sounds like he should be in a Western movie, not on a football field," one fan quipped, donning a cowboy hat and ready to cheer on the new signal caller. Meanwhile, the medical team confirmed that Beck will follow a rigorous rehab schedule filled with not just physical therapy but also emotional therapy, particularly focused on letting go of his dreams of throwing the game-winning pass. "We believe that by spring of 2025, Carson will be ready to not only throw again but to relive those glorious moments that could have been,” said Dr. ElAttrache, who is known for both his surgical precision and his keen eye for potential rock stars. While Beck's surgery and subsequent playlist creation were wrapped in humor and a light-hearted spirit, it’s safe to say that fans are hoping for a miraculous playoff run from Gunner Stockton, who undoubtedly has now inherited the "Gunner or Bunter" debate among Georgia faithful. “It’s time for Stockton to unleash his inner quarterback,” Beck said, raising a gatorade bottle to toast his successor, while also brainstorming title ideas for his upcoming EP, tentatively named “From Dr. to MVP.” And as the College Football Playoff approaches, it seems one thing is certain: Carson Beck may be sidelined, but his surgery playlist will be the ultimate crowd-pleaser—just as long as they don’t sneak in a track from "The Sound of Silence." After all, that might hit too close to home.
