Barry Jackson on U team at present

[NJshoreCane]

This season is 100% on Richt as a play caller. He was vanilla alllllllll year. Minimal creativity and predictable. We have too many weapons to not be successful.

What was your take on our QB and O-Line last year?

 

[Earnest T. Bass]

The individual with the most established track record of anyone associated with the team is Mark Richt. His track record over 17 years is to average 10 wins each season but fall short of a championship. You just established 10 wins and falling short of a championship as Rosier's track record ("track record" based on one year of observation). So you are right, Richt will probably get what he's always got if he goes with Rosier- at least 10 wins and falling short of a championship. Did it last year. Personally, I'm not happy with that happening again.

I think it is also interesting that some of you have forgotten why Miami wasn't getting any respect until after the ND game. It was because we were squeaking out victories and surviving with miracles. 24-19 over a 1-8 UNC team anyone?

Thinking that Rosier is a QB good enough to win 10 games each year is like deciding a baseball pitcher who finishes the season with a 11-5 record is a "decent pitcher" while conveniently ignoring the fact that he had a 7.58 ERA and his team was averaging 8 runs per game. Miami crushed it last year with turnovers (average 4 per game if I'm not mistaken) so Rosier had an abnormally high number of scoring opportunities. More often than not he would fail to move the ball, but since he had so many chances he'd get lucky and hit a deep pass or the RB would break off a huge gain. I know and YOU know that based on last year's performance Rosier is much closer to an 8-5 qb than an 11-2 qb.

Yes, you are right, Coach Richt has “the most established track record of anyone associated with the team”. Yet, you still had to insult and degrade the man.

I did not establish Rosier’s track record as you suggest—he did! And as much as you may not like that…neither you, me nor anyone else can change that fact. By the way ‘Justify’ won the recent Kentucky Derby and has a track record of ONLY one year (more or less) …based on your thinking I guess we should disallow that win and criticize the horse and trainer.

Rosier’s one year track record makes for a very impressive resume when one considers he led a team to 10 wins, an ACC Coastal Championship (first ever for the Canes) and an Orange Bowl berth after the Canes being a college football punch line (or punching bag) over the past 14 years.

I could not care any less if Rosier only completed 10% of his passes last year or won each of the 10 games by 1 point, a ½ point or ¼ of a point. Further, I also don’t care about the records of the other teams we beat. My mantra mirrors Al Davis’ battle cry; “Just win baby!”

Under Rosier’s leadership the Canes were one game away from being in the 2018 College Football Playoffs…and were for a short period of time ranked 2nd in the Playoff eligibility race, again, under Rosier’s leadership. If not for the serious injuries suffered by many of the Canes most significant players and poor offensive line play they would have almost assuredly been in the playoffs or handily beat Wisconsin, even with the deplorable officiating.

Your claim that “Miami wasn't getting any respect until after the ND game”, simply put, is more nonsense. Miami was back in the national college football conversation for most all of last year. Two weeks prior to the Notre Dame game the college football world was buzzing about the upcoming Miami vs. Virginia Tech nationally televised game, which due to that (Rosier led) win ESPN decided to bring College Game Day to the Miami campus for the ND clash. Last year Miami enjoyed more good press than any time in the last 20 years, if not longer.

Unlike you, I am VERY thankful for what Rosier did last year. Do I believe he was on the level of a Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold last year? **** no! Is there the possibility that he has improved during the off season? **** yes!

I will never understand the need you and others share to attack these kids, Coach Richt and the program using hyperbole, misleading statements (lies) and deplorable hate.

I honestly have no worldly idea if Rosier should be starting, has improved his game, remained at the same level or even regressed. Thus again, unlike you, I will not predict or hope that Rosier and Coach Richt fail. I am cursed with the awful trait of being an optimist…and realist.

When you start putting in 80 hours a week at Hecht/Greentree by attending every practice, meeting and studying film until you’ve become cross-eyed that will be the point in time I take your mean spirited critiques/attacks seriously.

 

[Canedude08]

I think people forget that Weldon has the fastest 40 of the QBs. He came in with a 4.5. With that said, a DT QB on an air raid team is impossible to stop. Check out Pat White's career with West Virginia. That should be the Canes as we get on with the next few years. JW is picking up steam and the OL recruiting is looking unreal. There is a bright future ahead.

You really think Pat White ran an air raid offense? You think Pat White was a dual threat? Good lord.

 

[cane since birth]

LOL. Really? In a controlled scrimmage against our 3rd team D? Man you guys are really reaching here. Now you are ready to send him out there against LSU because he made a few reads and looked poised? Good thing you aren't our HC ill say that.

Lol well thank god you aren’t one with your whole losing a team BS about not starting the more talented QB, you are talking like he had all day to throw and that he had guys streaking wide open down field lol, you can tell how good a kid is by how he handles situations, he had no time in the pocket and still made the right read, was accurate in tight throws, ran the RPO perfect, threw a dime TD in tight coverage all those are things no matter who he’s against did better than rosier, ypur logic is flawed

Bull ****

 

[cane since birth]

And based on historical data, Williams (who I assume is your pick) is going to **** the bed even more, lead us exactly nowhere, ruin any momentum we had from last year, and possibly ruin him mentally. The kid just got here and you are already ready to hand him the keys.

And you are ready to kill Malik because he wasn't "Ken Dorsey 2000" in his first full year as the starter. Again, I am glad you are just a message board poster and not the guy making the decisions.

Jesus Christ talk about jumping to conclusions, well that logic is also flawed when we just had a true freshman QB take his team to the national title game and bama starting one at half time to win them the game so they are dumb people for doing that? Again your logic is flawed

 

[Insanecane]

I cringe at the though of Blowsier starting another year here. We won despite his play, not because of it.

 

[rok]

How is Jones suddenly cemented at LG when he couldn't sniff the field last year?

What the **** happened?

 

[ThomasM]

Let’s just say you’re basically full of shlt.

Dorsey was a true freshman from way out in California that didn’t enroll early. He came in the summer. There was no chance he was starting or playing much unless Kelly got injured, which is exactly what happened.

Butch was under extreme pressure that year, he lost to East Carolina for God’s sake. People wanted him fired. They wanted him to play Dorsey. He stuck with Kelly all the way until injuries caught up to him later in the season. So Dorsey didn’t play until several injuries brought Kelly down, including an ankle and knee injury. Stop making shlt up.

People also forget how close Butch was to being fired in 1999, or at least how wildly unpopular he was. He was absolutely hated.

Dorsey outplayed Kelly in practices, and that's the truth.

Coaches have made dumbfukk decisions before and will continue to...CMR has regain the momentum at The U and has the program on the rise. Where he has failed is at qb evaluation and development which is suppose to be his specialty. So banking on his choice to start #12 is no indication that he's the best fit for the position. I've stated before that playing a guy who knows the playbook the best, whose not capable of executing the actual plays and keep chains moving is just crazy. We struggled and squeaked out wins against far inferior teams and #12 was one of the culprits responsible for our play.

I agree. If Richt is the teacher of QBs that I believe he is, he should start the young, talented guy and teach him all along the way. He simplified the O for Rosier for the better part of last season, so why not do it for a guy with far more talent? Knowing the O and executing it are two drastically different things. Part of coaching is implementing a game plan that suits the talent you have to run it. Well, there's nothing you can implement that an inaccurate passer can run effectively. Nothing. If you have a talented young QB, you figure out what he CAN do, and go from there.

The Qb's that have been recruited under Richt are true freshmen and redshirt freshmen and it's not even summer yet. It's insanely early to make this statement.

Then why couldn't we beat Pitt despite Rosier?

This is the point where the false logic that has been built upon a false narrative falls apart. We either beat some very good teams despite Rosier, or we lost to 3 teams, including a pitiful Pitt team, because of him. NOT BOTH.

In 2001, we had three games you might consider close:

FSU, close until Ed "I'm Hurt Dawg" Reed rallied the troops
Boston College, a game in severe jeopardy until Ed Reed strips the ball from one of our own players for a TD return
Virginia Tech, a 2nd half rally by the Hokies came up just a bit short

In those three games, Ken Dorsey was 51%, 48%, and 47% with 4 TDs and 4 INTs. We won those games despite poor play from the QB, and that was the greatest college football team ever fielded. Good players, and even great players turn in sub-per performances from time to time. Good TEAMS overcome them.

Im also referring to those he inherited and their development.

You can't knock Rosier's development. Two years ago people were saying he should quit football and focus on baseball. Now he's a ten (should be eleven) win QB.

Ill give you boston college but not VT or FSU we were in control of those games, and dorsey atleast stepped up when he needed to in those games to put us in position, something malik failed to do in the pitt game, also dorsey didn’t have guys treaking downfield open, our OL was playing like *** in that BC game, its hard to overcome bad QB play no matter what team you have

And Dorsey also had some great games that season(not good 4th qtrs). I was confident every time Dorsey led CANES took the field. He was surrounded by supreme talent and did an outstanding job

You can't knock Rosier's development. Two years ago people were saying he should quit football and focus on baseball. Now he's a ten (should be eleven) win QB.

So are you saying he didn't regress through the season or wins/losses all that matter despite the qb play. I dont know if its the talent of the qbs we've had or what but qb play continues to be a question mark on this team.

 

[KevinCaneFace]

A player regressing towards the end of the season isn't on coaching. They didn't suddenly start teaching other things. It's usually do to a number of things like injuries, lack of focus, tougher competition, surrounding talent being injured. Rosier outperformed his expectations last year and thats called development. No coach is going to make a great QB out of Malik Rosier because he doesn't have the talent level for it. We'll see what we can get out of Perry/Williams in the next two years.

What a silly response. At no point in my analysis was there anything remotely approaching mean spirited, unless you believe that facts you don't agree with are mean spirited.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Dorsey outplayed Kelly in practices, and that's the truth.

Making stuff up. As usual. Prove it. Dorsey showed up on campus in July. He was a true freshman. Butch was desperate. He had one foot in the grave. Kelly was the starter all the way until he was injured. I went to all the games, chief. I’ve been a fan for a while. Him starting after Kelly was injured was a huge deal because he was like the first true freshman starter QB for UM in like 30 years.

This is how it was. Kelly was very inconsistent, and I didn’t think he was playing that great, I was ready for a change myself, Butch still wouldn’t put Dorsey in until Kelly got the knee injury.

 

[Loose Cannon]

LMAO


Ill give you boston college but not VT or FSU we were in control of those games, and dorsey atleast stepped up when he needed to in those games to put us in position, something malik failed to do in the pitt game, also dorsey didn’t have guys treaking downfield open, our OL was playing like *** in that BC game, its hard to overcome bad QB play no matter what team you have

So 48% passing with 0 TDs and 4INTs is Dorsey stepping up and putting us in position to eek out a close game against Boston College, but Malik with 48% passing, 376 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 pick is him almost single handily losing a close game at UNC because...reasons?
