Interesting quote from the Herald: "Rosier has watched every offensive snap of every 2017 UM game and worked with quarterbacks guru David Morris - as well as Jon Richt- on shortening his stride and other mechanical adjustments."

D$ and I talked about this very subject on the POD. Felt Rosier stride distance on similar throws tracked pretty irregular and was at times the genesis of his inaccuracy. There is absolutely no doubt that some mechanical deficiencies were at play last year. I don't know what is more indicting, the fact that he was such a low percentage passer (Ranked 100th nationally among FBS starters with 54%) or the fact it's taking 5 years to reign in his front foot.

The mechanics was one of his biggest issues , they could be messy at times.

I don’t know why he waited to hear five to try to fix , maybe he figured he’d never start here. And was ok with that.

If he can just become a little more consistent , without the ints we’ll be just fine. Manage the show and get the ball to all those studs we have on O.

No qb in the country has more toys.
 
Rosier broke records with poor mechanics. I don’t think any of the two things mentioned are an indictment. He never believed he would have a chance at being a starting QB here so he never took it seriously until last year.


Btw the difference between 54% and 60% could just be 2 incomplete passes per game. Qb percentage is an overblown topic on this board.

It’s still relevant. But he should be better as a second year starter More than anything
 
WTF next he will walk on water. Players in highschool see QB guru's all the time now these days. People are reaching to find hope. What's with the insanity he is what he is not highly recruited and in 5 yrs leaves me scratching my head on why people who really know football are drinking the Kool aid. Kaaya and Morris any day.

Kaaya is one of the worst starting QBs in the schools history. Lol oh you like losing to teams like Cincinnati, not to mention FSU every year.

True but my point is that 2 more completions per game wouldn’t have equaled more wins last season. Kaaya was good for throwing pointless completions only for the punt team to end up on the field at the end of the drive.

Rosier will improve and needed to but so did the Oline and the WRs.... Richards and other WRs dropped several easy passes last year that brought down Rosiers completion percentage as well.

He’s a winner and when it’s time to win Rosier is who I want at Qb... especially if we comparing Kaaya?? Coach Richt prefers Rosier over Kaaya bc Rosier is coachable, Kaaya cried and left early bc Richt was tired of his soft shxt. Then told Rosier he would never play but Rosier Got to work and proved him wrong.

Seriously some of the ppl on this board are crazier than me with these hot takes.

Actually Kaaya's 2016 season compares favorably to any QB we've ever had statistically. Only Ken Dorsey and Vinny had a season with a higher QB rating (150.3) and they were on top 3 teams. Secondly, he did it with a pathetic OL. He was literally getting killed in the 4 game losing streak.

62% 3532 yds 27 TD 7 INT
 
Quarterbacks get better. Especially senior QBs. They may not ascend to some All-American or NFL quality level, but they get better.

He's clearly putting in the work. Luckily (I guess), his threshold for improving isn't an astronomic leap. If he can get to say...58% passing and somewhere in the realm of a 2.5:1 TD:INT ratio - a modest improvement...we're running the fvkking table until we meet up with Clemson for Round 2 and they better be prepared to get these hands.

One thing I know about Rosier...he's the right kind of dumb. Will make an absolute horrendous throw...forget about it as soon as the next play starts and he'll come out chuckin. He's a gamer.

It is third down efficiency that will determine if we can make it to the playoffs this year ..... all these stats about completions and yards mean nothing unless it converts to scores....

YES!!!!! Just a modest gain. Also, if he can just be more consistent that would do it altogether. No more poor play for a whole half, and then light it up the rest the game.

Any other qb in cfb with a 62% completion percentage would have **** near 40 Passing TDs for the season. Kaayas completion percentage makes so many of y’all feel good inside looking at it lol but in real life it did nothing for the team bc he couldn’t sustain drives.

The guy wasn't perfect, but your comment was ridiculous. He's nowhere close to the worse QB we've had. You need to go watch Brock Berlin in 03, Kirby Freeman's NC St performance (1-14 84 yd 1 TD 3 INT), or Kyle Wright. Frank Costa was holding a championship D back.

This is the worse...

In 2007, NC State and Miami played a stupid, terrible, incredible football game
