Everyone hates Rosier because of some dopey narrative that got legs on here about him barely winning the backup job last year. WTF does that have to do with anything even if it's true. Two years ago with no playing experience, in a ****** offense, with a ****** coach against a good team on the road, he played a pretty **** good game. He threw a couple absolute dimes in that game under duress.
Maybe the dude's just a gamer. He was pretty good two years ago in a road game, and he should be better two years later with better coaches. I don't see why we should be turning this team over to a true freshmans automatically just because fans don't think Rosier is a **** candidate.
He could be our version of DJ Shockley. Similar size. Similar skillset. Shockley had 1 season as a starter and led UGA to an SEC Championship. Rosier doesn't have to be a world beater, but he brings veteran experience and could be a steady athletic QB for us.
I'd hate to waste the crazy potential of our defense with a freshmans QB throwing picks and giving games away.
You don't think it's possible for Rosier to throw picks?
Huh? You're better than that wise *** ****.
Of course, Rosier will throw picks. Every QB does. He should be better at running the full offense and commanding the team than a guy who was at the prom a month ago. It's a pretty simple concept that has held up over a hundred years. Sometimes, a less talented veteran QB gives you a better chance to win football games than a more talented true freshmans QB.
However, true freshmans QBs traditionally struggle at this level of football. And you can almost never run a diverse or full playbook with a true freshmans QB. Even Peyton Manning struggled as a true freshmans.
Wasn't being a wise ***, you're basing your argument around his experience to say he could basically be a game manager that wouldn't cost us games as opposed to the younger guys who could be more mistake prone being brand new to the offense.
I asked you that because it seems as though it hadn't been factored in that the same mistakes the young QB's could make, could also be made by Rosier as well.
You want him to be the starter that's fine, I don't have a problem with that, I don't agree with it but no need to start a war over it.
I don't think Rosier gives us the best chance to win big games this season, but I don't hate him.
I also remember a few weeks ago a lot of y'all were campaigning for Weldon to be the guy too, but I guess he's no longer the flavor of the week.
