I'm not in complete disagreement, but some of this falls on these kids. I don't think Perry's dumb, but anyone who's ever seen a football game should have been able to look at his tape and see that he was mainly just chunking it up to wide open guys and knew he would take time to develop. I didn't follow Weldon's recruitment too closely, so I don't know much about him other than he seems to keep having issues that prevent him from being a full participant in the QB discussion.Tell me all you want about Perry being dumb and Weldon being a drug addict and Alison being a **** and this and that and everything in between. Year 3. If you can’t get a better QB ready than Rosier in year 3 either via freshmans or a transfer, then you’ve botched the QB situation.
I’m not one of those mush heads who think the season is over. But we need much better QB play if we are going to win the Coastal and make noise in the ACCCG. And Rick’s supposed expertise is QBs. I’m not impressed with his acumen with QBs over the last 6 years or so.
I think Richt botched the QB position by not doing enough to keep Allison. That probably means we never get Williams, however, so I'm hoping hindsight eventually proves me wrong on that. The only problem with that, though is that we're stuck with Rosier until one of Perry or Weldon take the next step in their development.
Perry looked close against SSU. He's tall enough to see over the line, and that allows him to use the middle of the field which is something that Rosier simply cannot do. I was really hoping to see him cut it loose against Toledo, but when that snap hit him in the hands and went over his head, you'd have to be a fool to think Richt was going to call another pass and risk a turnover.
We needed to win BIG, and we did. Last season we beat them 52-30 when they had an NFL QB. How could we say we've progressed if they score late and we only beat them 42-31 with a first year starting QB?
