Malik, born leader

[Loose Cannon]

People are surprised to hear Malik called a leader, SMH. He may lagged behind in some mechanics and decision making in the pocket early on. But he has the leadership quality and the toughness that players around him respected before and will even respect more going forward.

Malik was just quoted that "prior to the duke game i never even watched film". He's certainly come a long way since then but let's slow down on the accolades.

How can that be? Does that make sense? If you're the QB coach or the HC, wouldn't you demand all the QBs' watch film with you in meetings? I have a feeling that he was either misquoted or the quote was taken out of context. No way he would have been kept on the roster if he never showed up to meetings where QB's watch films and study defenses.

You mean HC Al Golden? Wait a second? You don't think that maybe HC Al Golden wasn't all that great at preparing his team for the upcoming games, do you?

More excited for a Rosier led team than a Kaaya led team. Can't wait for the season!

I wish it was a misquote. Here is the exact quote. Obviously a lot of this falls on the old staff, but it's still disheartening.

“Before Duke, I didn’t really watch film,” said Rosier, listed at 6-foot-1 and 216 pounds. “I just came out here and practiced, did what they told me.

I have a feeling he meant that he didn't watch on his own time.

That's exactly right. He didn't go above and beyond because there was no sense of urgency. After the Duke game ,the reality hit him that he could be in there at any time. Kid was honest and no one should throw that in his face.

He's matured 10 years since the start of spring camp. Get behind our new QB1. Fact remains he's a better fit for Rick's offense than pro style guys like Brad and Allison!

My "very early prediction but I'll put it on the line now": We win the coastal and finish with a better record than any year we've had with Kaaya.

It's almost as if you don't know how good the offense was the last half of the season once the offensive line settled in with the Kc move.

The title of the thread is "born leader". I'm really not trying to be a **** but not going above and beyond is the exact opposite of leadership. Now that he's won the job by essential default let's hope he taps into those "born" leadership skills.

Because he knows he will see plenty of time this year.
