I've had my share of heart and headaches caused by the stress of watching Malik. However, there is no question in my mind that he is the most game ready QB that we have on our roster and therefore, he gives us the best chance to win. I was definitely in the camp of wanting someone to dethrone him, but at the end of the day he is the best choice and more importantly, he is our QB.
The new redshirt rule gives Miami the best of both worlds. We get to start our only QB on the roster who has game experience, without the risk of shattering the confidence of our young QB's by putting them in pressure situations before they are ready. They now get a chance to get real game experience and more importantly, make mistakes without it causing us a game because it will be during mop up duty. We will be better off in 2019 because of this fact.
If the freshmen were ready to be "the guy" this year, they would be "the guy."
