Perry clearly stunk last year. But he seems to be the lesser of two evils from the standpoint of team morale and character and locker room dynamics. Suitcase has better skills no doubt, but there comes a time when you can’t keep begging your QB to stick around.
My stance is that Perry isn’t a great QB, but he’s a better option as a backup because he’s willing to be a backup without burning the locker room down unlike Suitcase.
And I trust him more than a true freshman Van ******* if King gets hurt. Maybe Van ******* will be a prodigy and light the world on fire right away, but I like the comfort of giving Perry a shot as the backup this year in what should be a well-coached offense.
In 2019 he was the lesser of the two evils. Agreed. Even though he was sub par on the field. In 2018, as a RFrosh, he was the problem child. Just like JW.
It works out for us now because although he’s matured more, he still hasn’t committed to his craft- BUT - now we have King.
So, to your point, he can play his role and settle in as a backup this year with the hopes of getting the nod in 2021 without being a baby about it.
But, I’m not sure I trust Perry more than a Frosh. His Pittsburgh, Duke, FIU and LT Numbers give me reason for pause. He didn’t do anything a Frosh couldn’t do, and he didn’t take the reigns as a 3rd year player last year.
I would give TVD a shot to surpass him.
