If your starting QB is already on a short leash before 1 snap of football is played then you don’t have a QB

He will wait until a crucial moment in a game that we should have won in the 1st Quarter and make the change. We already saw it.

Rosier has been QB1 for the past 2 springs ...
At some point, some of y'all are gonna have to get to the acceptance stage.
#12 is the starting QB.
And no matter how well written the posts are suggesting he not be the starter, it doesn't matter.
Unless Perry takes a GIANT leap in his mental game, he's not passing Rosier.
And I think CMR wants to red-shirt Williams.

Really doesn't matter.... UNLESS he's saying that he's sticking with Rosier no matter what.........and I don't think he's saying that at all.
Just that as of right now, Rosier's definitely in the lead.
Coach ain't stupid, he wants to win more than any of us do. He'll play whoever gives us the best chance to win
Relax and let this summer and season play out because now CMR has good options..unlike last year.. and he won't be reluctant to make a switch should that ever become necessary.
Bravo!

Should have posted all of Susan's work on the above subject, thus allowing all to better understand Coach Richt's conclusions...
Susan: For those University of Miami fans praying that redshirt freshman N'Kosi Perry unseats veteran starter Malik Rosier, and there are plenty of them emoting daily on social media, Hurricanes coach Mark Richt made it clearer than ever Tuesday after practice that Rosier’s grip on the starting job is tight.
Three days after the spring game and four days before the final practice heading into the offseason, Richt lauded the attributes of soon-to-be redshirt senior quarterback Rosier and gave him a resounding seal of approval — with his usual caveat that he needs to improve his accuracy.
And early enrollee Jarren Williams, also a new fan favorite but still learning the offense and intricacies of college football, appears to be pretty much out of the race, despite having been impressive in both scrimmages.
“Just like today, he saw a blitz,’’ Richt said of Rosier. “He made a check. He got us into a great protection. He got us into a great route. He threw a great ball. [Mike] Harley caught it probably 25 yards down the field for a big first down. …He did exactly what a veteran quarterback should do, exactly how he should do it.
"And that’s where you just go, ‘that’s why he’s the starter.’ But he’s just got to be able to do everything on a very consistent basis as far as just hitting his target. And that’s probably been the biggest issue. He has been streaky. But most games he has found a way to win.”
The coach also said that the final practice/scrimmage on Saturday, a session closed to all but UM football alumni, will be “situational stuff’’ and indicated that the only game-type scrimmaging will be done “with some of the guys that don’t have a lot of experience.
“We may not do that with everybody.’’
Rosier, who went 10-3 as a starter in 2017, losing the last three games, finished the season with 3,120 yards passing (54 percent completion percentage) and 26 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. He threw 10 of his interceptions in the last six games.
This past Saturday at the spring game, Rosier was 9 of 14 for 105 yards. He was sacked four times and went against a bruising first-team defense.
Perry, who mostly played against the second-team defense and was given more opportunities to throw, completed 11 of 25 passes for 166 yards and a touchdown, with one pick. He was sacked once.
Williams, sacked three times, was 9 of 14 for 107 yards and a touchdown.
“The only game he really couldn’t hit his target was Pitt,’’ Richt said of Rosier. “We all know that. We had open receivers. We had good protection and he missed too many open receivers. That’s why I got him out of the game — not because I didn’t think he should be our starter ever again. Because at that moment I kept waiting and waiting and it just wasn’t happening. So I said, ‘We gotta do something.’
"But after that, even the last two games, I’m not saying he was perfect, but we had line issues. If we weren’t functioning well it wasn’t just a QB thing. One day he struggled enough where I felt like, ‘You know what? Maybe [former Hurricane] Evan [Shirreffs] can give us a spark.’ But other than that, the guy is a fierce competitor.”
Richt reiterated that Rosier, like most people, “functions better when he knows somebody is right behind him’’ and that last year it was pretty obvious toward the latter half of the season that Cade Weldon and Perry were going to redshirt.
“He just functions better,’’ Richt said of Rosier’s mind-set with the others competing. “He practices better. He focuses better.
“…So, OK, we’ll compete. And if you need to throw somebody else in there, we’ll do it.”
Richt also said Rosier “is a much better passer when the pocket is bigger,’’ which hasn’t been happening with the struggling, and developing, offensive line. “Give the skill guys the opportunity to make plays. … When the pocket is in your face it’s hard to be real accurate. So it starts with protection. It starts with a good clean pocket. And then route-running and understanding what you’re doing.
“I really believe he can do that.’’
The coach added that he likes that Rosier “knows and everybody knows that he knows what to do. That’s a huge part of leadership. All the things we need to do to help ourselves have the very best play possible, he can do all those things.’’
Of Perry (and Williams), a gifted escape artist with a strong arm, Richt said he told him, ‘You’re a pocket passer who can run…so when the pocket is there you can’t be dipping out of there. You’ve got to run this system the way it’s supposed to be run. And when it’s time to go, you’ll know.’’
Rosier spoke to the media as well Tuesday for the first time since spring practice began March 20.
“I feel like I’m doing fine,’’ Rosier said. “The biggest thing is just communicating with these guys. There are a couple times today that I killed plays. It was just something I saw. And Coach Richt told me, ‘Good job.’ Kosi is coming along and Jarren is learning. I wish Cade [Weldon] could be out here because this is a great time for us to get reps and get more experience.
For me, personally, I think I’m doing good. My accuracy rate needs to go up. Other than that, I’m doing fine."

Just my opinion but I think Richt was hoping Perry would be further along mentally than what he is. He keeps mentioning the fact that Perry redshirted last year as if to say he should be further along than he is. He said the same thing about Allison last year

We can win with Malik until proven otherwise.... hes going to continue to work on his game over the off season just like Nkosi and Jarren.
I would rather redshirt Jarren and play both Nkosi and Malik this season. Unless Jarren just does whatever he has to do to force himself into the mix, Malik and Nkosi sharing reps is the best case scenario for the season.

Sometimes you gotta poke the dogs to see who’s got the most fight. A lot of time left. Let’s see who folds and who asks for the 
to film and weight room. He’s also giving a warning by stating in 2 interviews that Perry ain’t redshirting. Something that is obvious but he keeps saying it.

"Richt is a straight shooter, I don't think hes using these interviews as a way to motivate"
Why cant it be both? Why cant he be a straight shooter looking to motivate with the media?
This is the first spring after a season where Rosier just started and got mad game experience in some very intense moments.
I'd expect him to know what to do better than Nkosi and Jarren.
But I also expect those other two dogs to catch him by the fall.
If Nkosi or Jarren was able to unseat Rosier after both of their FIRST Spring on campus then ****, we winning the ship. Im going straight to Vegas.
Perry or Jarren start at LSU. Just my hunch.

Aside from his completion %, ever think Perry maybe would have a better shot if he'd made more progress learning the playbook while he's been here?

I don't think it has as much to do with knowing the playbook as it does trusting the playbook.

Clearly Perry is talented.
If I’m interpreting Rick’s comments correctly, sounds like Perry is doing the one read and run routine, and not going through his progressions. Or just taking off at the very first sign of the pocket flexing. In either case, you’re going to get a ton of freelancing from him, rather than a coherent offensive game plan.
Those are things that are learned with time and effort. Perry can overcome those tendencies if he puts in the time and effort. It’s basically, in very simple terms, learning and implementing the playbook. Hopefully he can improve enough to give Rosier a run for his money.

Is this quote just one big oxymoron? It's like someone saying, "For me, personally, I think I'm doing well financially. I just need money though. Other than that, I'm doing well financially."

Hmm I didn't get that so definitively from Richt. In a passing reference to Jarren getting a red shirt, he qualified it by saying something like I"m not even saying that will happen". I think he is waiting to see what's up through the summer and beginning of august.
