Just saw an article by Mitchel Forde where Malik was quoted as saying that he could barely lift a football after the UNC game. The chronic shoulder contusion never fully healed and greatly affected his throwing motion and accuracy. Malik said the 3 weeks off has done wonder for his health and he feels a lot better.

Buying or Selling?

I was at UNC game and that's when he hurt it. You could see the pain on the sideline. He was a different player after that game so... I could see it having an affect.
 
Selling. His shoulder injury didn't affect the offense being able to line up and run the football early in games.
 
A busted shoulder prevented him from scanning the field and making reads?

So you're not buying that his shoulder was hurt becasue we couldn't run the ball? Are you retarded?

I was 10 rows up dead center for the UVA and Pitt games. He was not only horribly inaccurate but had no zip on the ball whatsoever. He was floating balls on speed cuts. I'm not a Malik apologist but he was clearly not the same QB after the UNC game.
 
Tells you pretty much about quality the depth at QB position. They would rather have Malik throw left handed than watch 6’5” Evan Sherriffs get every ball batted down by someone shorter than he is.l

This wasn't one of his strengths when he was healthy.

Before the UNC game he had one below 50% passing day. That was against FSU and we know he was great late in that game. He was hurt early in the UNC game and finished the year with 4 out of his last 6 passing performances falling under 50%.

This, exactly. Remember, the sole purpose of this season was to keep the program functioning while Jakori Perry trained with a redshirt year. Ten wins was an unexpected bonus.

Was his shoulder injured? Maybe.

Was it the reason we lost to Pitt and got hammered by Clemson? Probably not.

His shoulder was fine for 5-6 GT at home, FSU 6-6, and 4-8 Syracuse at home. Was his shoulder injury the reason the offense was garbage then?

My point was, regardless of injury, we couldn't line up and run the football effectively. That's the reason the offense sucked, not because a 55% completion QB's shoulder was injured.
 
51% vs acc opponents. Making excuses because that *** will be on the bench next year.

He completed 60% of his passes against Bethune. 75% against Toledo. 57% of his passes against Duke. 8 TDs and 2 INTs. What's your point?

The point is as the competition rose he got worse. You trying to make it seem like a injury is what caused his play.

He was over 60% against Syracuse when Richards couldn't catch a cold and over 60% against GT. Both better than UNC. He gets hurt in the first quarter against UNC who is awful and the completion percentage gets worse. Malik was hovering around slightly above average as a QB before he got hurt. Should I pretend his dropoff in play had nothing to do with getting hurt and all to do with the likes of Pitt and UVA being on the schedule?
