    I thought our line protected him quite well last year. Most of his misses were 100% on him. But I agree, we need to get better, and Rosier wasn't the reason we sucked in 2013. He was simply the biggest reason we bottomed out last year at 129.

    I don't mind being ranked in the middle of the pack because we are a quick strike team and always will be. That by itself leads to fewer first downs and 3rd down conversions. Look at who has been at the top of the 3rd down world. Teams like Army, who are anything but quick strike. What WE...

    I don't hate Rosier, but rather that he is a "going through the motions" guy that is FAR too limited in ability to be a "going through the motions" guy.

    Stats don't tell the whole story. Football in the early to mid 80s was nothing like it is now. Richt should get more credit for getting blood from a stone. I know people like to say Rosier set the team record for TDs, but ask yourself this question.. If Rosier can set the record, what will a...

    With poor QB play you will see fewer and fewer running lanes. The D alone will not win us a title, but poor QB play sure as heck can cost us one. It certainly cost us a shot at the playoffs last year.

    Yeah, by year three he should have a QB by now. Now, I DO believe he has the future QB on the roster, but I don't know if he will be ready by September. I do believe Williams is a more viable option than Shirreffs, and Richt did bench Rosier a couple times to put him in. I think that the next...

    You're assuming we won't regress under Rosier. Now that every team we face will make him beat them, it could get ugly. He's limited, and now everyone knows it. Mark my word, some of those close wins will turn into losses, like GT. I'm not convinced we will see 10 wins again with Rosier.

    Well, if Rosier can't do it this year, then why not start a young guy so they can get the experience and be able to do it in the future?

    In my opinion, the ONLY way it's close is if we don't convert 3rd downs and absolutely blow every chance our D gives us. We play up to our potential and we roll them. However, if our weakest link in the chain is still the most important position on the field, look out.

    I just don't think Rosier is the QB that can lead us to a title. ACC or otherwise. He did better than I expected in some areas, but worse in others. His wild inconsistency ended up costing us big time. I honestly believe that if he is the starter, we won't see 10 wins again. Some of those...

    I watched that Troy game, and it wasn't as close as the score might suggest. If Troy doesn't make nerve induced mistakes, they roll LSU.

    Rosier could have had Jerry Rice and it wouldn't have mattered. Bad passes are bad passes. It doesn't matter if you're throwing it to Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, or me. A bad pass can't be caught.

    He missed more passes with good protection that he missed because he was pressured. As for play calling, it was clear to me Richt limited the plays he called the first half of the season. He had to, because Rosier was back there. It looked like half the field was off limits the first 6 games...

    Yeah, but I'd be willing to bet my life we got more than 3.6 3rd downs a game with him. Wouldn't you?

    We beat an FSU team... yay. The same FSU team BC beat by 32. What a huge accomplishment. That game isn't close with decent QB play. Our next QB doesn't have to be a Dorsey clone, but rather simply capable of getting the job done. I believe that QB is JW.

    To me it comes down to 3rd down passing. We can not win anything meaningful by getting 3.6 3rd down conversions a game. I'm less concerned with whether he completes 54 or 58% of his passes, but rather if he completes them when it matters. Yeah, a higher completion percentage SHOULD mean for...

    We We averaged 3.6 3rd downs a game. That ranked 129th out of 130. I don't care if he completes 50% of his passes, as long as they are 3rd down conversions for 1st downs. We will NEVER be a championship caliber team while getting 3.6 3rd downs a game. That is far and away the most damning...

    If we are down 5, it means Rosier missed a crap load of passes and we are losing because of it. Good QB play and we're not down by 5. Again, I don't get too caught up in the 10 wins, because we win more with better QB play, and I don't think that's even debatable. Also, we pound UNC, whoop...

    Honest questions. Do you think Rosier performed well all season? Do you think we can do better than Rosier at the position? You see, people like to talk about those 10 wins because we haven't done it in a while, but truth be told, with good QB play we win 12, and are in the playoffs. Rosier...

    Easy. He's been coached properly for years, and didn't grow up playing sand lot football. Perry had fan boys for 2+ years and I think that might have filled his head more than the playbook.
