I guess you would have pulled Torretta in 2002 against FSU and Dorsey against Washington too. Will Perry ever be close to either of them ... probably not but now we'll never know.
The whole point of starting Perry and letting him finish is we will be no better or worse record wise at the end of the season and at least we'll know if Perry is good or not.
Now we are going to win/lose the same number of games and have no idea who to start next year.
Rosier is garbage. As soon as Pitt set the blueprint of making Rosier make accurate short/intermediate passes to matriculate down the field instead of hitting a couple home run balls per game it was over. Pitt, Clemson, Wisky, and LSU all did the same ******* thing with Rosier.
While i understand the point you're trying to make im not sure what torretta game you're referring too, must be 1992, and dorsey vs the huskies in 2002, i think these are not good comparisons, you talking about qb's on top 5 teams and both had established o-lines, which perry does not have the luxury of having. Those teams were national championship caliber teams. There are times when a headcoach has to be able to not be scared to make the unpopular call, how many in here think it was ok for vinny testaverde to stay in that national championship game after pick#3 or 4, but he was allowed to throw #5 from what i understood and he changed the play from handing it to highsmith and check into #5 where no widereceiver was around, than all of a sudden he "color blind" im sure after the game he knew that money was green. So i take it you would've let testaverde stay in and throw 5 picks since he helped get us their in 86.
If rosier started the UVA game at worst it may have been a field, position battle game, as frustrating as he can be, he didnlead this team to 10wins and should've been 11wins had the refs not been paid off to look the other way against wisconsin. #5 needs to study more, its obvious, if he wants to be able to run this system, i dont mind letting coach richt coach this team, he knows what perry knows or doesnt know better than anybody and with this stretch of games coming up coach richt aint got time for guess work, he going with the qb he knows best and who has put the work in to learn the system, of course perry is more talented, but he has a responsibilty to his teammates to know and be confident in this system, alot of offensive players get hurt trying to make tackles against the picks perry threw last week. Coach richt dont care how talented a qb is, if he doesnt protect the football, sit down. Our qb situation is not ideal, kaaya leaving early messed that up, but the qb position like everywhere else is on the come up. Look how many young receivers we got, Ahmon being hurt has impacted the whole offense, now all teams gotta do is double jeff and bracket brevin, until or unless another wideout steps us, plus our widereceivers blocking has taken a big step back this year, with Ahmon being hurt and braxton graduating, so we're not a dominant blocking widereceiver team like the last 2 yrs. We'll get there eventually, but right now, that's where were at, which is why butch davis had no problems runing the ball for 3 straight plays continuosly and punting the ball. The type offense coach richt is trying to run, alot of the players are just not developed yet to run it, so this bye week will give him and the offensive staff time to make adjustments and we'll see cause perry had his chance to cement himself in that position but he left the door open. Also perry losing the starting job is similar to him getting suspended for the lsu game, letting his teammates down, this situation will make him either sink or swim, i dont mind the move for the long term, ill tolerate rosier who has earned that right from me, you help to snap the streak against Fsu and help to beat notre shame and V-tech in the same year im going to respect em. And so it is with kirby freeman, no matter how bad he may have played in other games, he came in and drove the team downfield to beat Fsu, stood in their and took a big hit for the team to get that pass off, so he's earned the same right as rosier.
