I actually like Malik in the Don Strock/Frank Reich mold. I think we’ll need him at some point, and I like better as a relief pitcher than I do an untested freshmans like Perry or Weldon. But I like Perry better as the starter.
 
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!!!!!!!!!

Perry should get all the 1st team reps from here on out.
 
Then honeymoon period for Nkosi is over now. It's only a matter of time before the good old basement boys on here start ripping him to shreds with every missed throw and stupid plays. Then the Jarren cries will begin and the cycle continues
 
Perry will give us a better opportunity against Clemson - if we get back to the conference championship - which we should barring a run of injuries on key players - like Willis, for example.

Clemson would still be a challenge, but Perry can scramble better, throw it well on the move and fire BBs when needed.

Hope we get up by a bunch against UNC to get the other young QBs some reps, too.
 
I caution that the game will speed up exponentially this week even though UNC sucks. Their DL is always good, and they’ve bullied us the last couple years. Perry will have to speed up his progressions and his feet.

UNC also has game film of Perry to study now. If Rick starts lobbing those soft little bubble screens to the WRs early to get Perry comfortable they might go the other way for 6.

Excited to see how Perry responds to the massive increase in speed, size and pressure.

Scared money don't make none.

If Richt can't get him ready for the speed then there's a disconnect in the preparation because there's not a faster Defense Perry see's than Miami in practice everyday.

Obviously he's not going to look as near perfect as he did vs a weak FIU team, but it ain't like we can't draw up enough TD's plays to put the game away.

We beat UNC on the road with Rosier hitting on the Deep ball for 356yds 3TD's while simultaneously only completing 42% of his passes with a 48.1 QBR & only rushing for 59yds total as a team.

Our run game will be better this game & we'll be at home in The Rock, even with minimal game manager QB play & a conservative game plan we should roll.

Is it sick that I’m kinda looking forward to it?

Better now than next week against FSU though. As much as a dumpster fire as FSU is, they still have a good pass rush.
 
I just love this constant criticism that Richt plays favoritism. Just checked with my longtime UGA buddy. He stated not once in his entire UGA tenure, did Richt play the less talented QB. The best QB on the roster always started bar none. Perry not starting to begin this season was completely on him. Had he applied himself all freshman season he would have started against LSU. Instead he messed around and got himself suspended. But good on him for turning things around so that he now as the trust of the coaches and the players.

Need to watch the game again, but Richt had Perry running plays in which the throw was taking place in less then two seconds. I imagine a lot of the same against UNC. Get the ball to our athletes and let them work. Wear out their thin Defense and then start opening up the playbook. One of the keys for this game will be how Perry handles the RPO. Many times Rosier was caught making the wrong decision. Opening series against FIU he held the ball instead of handing to Homer. Homer had a train in front of him and it probably was a TD we missed. Instead Rosier hold the ball and gets dragged down for no gain. It will be interesting to see if Perry has a better understanding of how to run that play.

@k9cane - This goes to your theory regarding coach Richt's timeline to determine the starting QB for the season being the UNC game, no???

Yes, and I dont know if Richt planned it out exactly this way but I love how this might work out. Perry coming off a nice game, then gets 1st team practice reps this week and hopefully he(along with the rest of the team) takes care of business on Thursday night and then you get a extra prep time going into a rivalry game( which I still think poses some problems, don't care how bad FSU has looked thus far)

But in my view this is Perry's chance to lock down this job. Let's hope he takes advantage of it

Point is a lot of rosier’s completions were difficult catches but still count the same as a throw where a wr can catch on run and such.

So while percentage is a factor, other things matter.

It's exactly why you have to actually watch the game and not just check the box-score/stats

as that saying goes: there lies, **** lies and then statistics....
 
in richt's weekly presser today he said both qb's played with the 1's.

interesting to see who he rolls with, definitely should be perry. Let's just hope perry doesn't disappoint

LOL, yet His INT was a throw on the run.

Harley bailed em' out a few times...that play where Harley made the bobbled catch should've gone to Hightower, that's where His read should've taken em'...and the defender had inside leverage on Harley.

That seam route He hit Harley on would've been picked by a better Safety.

And His look-off game is average.

Like I said, the kid's talented no doubt, but He still has a lot to learn.

He’s never started a game dude , so yeah, of course he needs to learn.

On Harley “ bailing him out”
He didn’t bail out jack, that throw into double coverage almost Split Harley’s chest open. He had no choice to catch that , actually it was more the ball caught harley.

Was it a bad read ? Yes, but his elite arm strength is why it was completed.

You normally can’t get away with those type of throws , guys with strong arms normally have a problem with that.

He did throw one int but made a bunch of throws on the run and threw a beautiful td to Cager on the run.
 
We finally get a natural at QB1 and these ***aloons are complaining because he wasn't flawless in his first meaningful snaps, ever.

Well played CIS.

Yep, dude has never started a game , completed 66% of passes, while starting 10-10. But we need a Jon Gruden class session on why he wasn’t 100% with a perfect qb rating.

This just in guys, he’s going to make a couple dumb *** decisions every game, minimum. That’s what you get starting a young qb, this is what we wanted.

He’s going to make a bunch of jaw dropping throws and make the offense more explosive. But there’ll be some head scratching decisions too.

We had that with Malik , minus the positives Perry brings . So just deal with it.
 
**** I was even ok with the INT cause the result was better than any punt attempt Feagles would try. He was simply trying to make a play and was throwing 50 yards down field against his body on the run. I can understand that from time to time with a RS freshman, mistakes will happen. What I won't accept is that type of BS or constant misreads and inaccuracy from a 5th year senior. Anyone who can't understand why Perry should be the starter moving forward and Rosier should be nothing more than a backup..................................should probably pick up a different hobby.
 
Can't find a replay of the game. Is there a website you recommend

I'm shocked, I didn't think Richt would start Perry for UNC but at least get him ready with split 1st team reps.

I think at this point it's beyond obvious that Perry's arm talent & upside is just higher than Rosier's & Richt probably feels this Offense can move more efficiently with Perry delivering the ball.

The biggest thing for me will be how Perry is used as runner, there's not a throw on the field Perry can't make but if we incorporate some Read option runs on the outside this offense can become potent.

Because if Defenses sit back in 2 High Perry will pick the middle of the field apart, if they go Single High we can beat teams on the outside with our speed or hit guys out of the backfield with Brevin or a RB. Then when those LB's start cheating up on the line, Perry can break a few runs, which will draw those Safety's down then JT4 will punish them down the seam.

The combination of arm talent, accuracy & ability to work the intermediate passing attack are the main factors that separate Perry & Rosier.
