Miami Herald Barry Jackson offensive looking at QBs. article link 4 of 4 articles

I actually like what I read regarding Rosier:

"As for Rosier, Rumph and safeties coach Ephraim Banda said the offseason improvement has been obvious.
“Malik doesn’t get enough credit,” Rumph said. “We give him some looks and disguise really well in practice and he picks up what we’re doing, did a darn good job against our defense. He’s gotten a lot better, was more consistent with accuracy this spring.”"

If the staff is consistent, then they will stick with Rosier if he can keep the turnovers down. He can convert with his feet as well. The gist of the critique of Perry in that article is what Rosier has excelled at. It is also what coach pointed out liking about Williams:

"“He has a lot of potential for a young guy,” Rumph said. “He spins the ball well. What I was impressed with is he moved in the pocket a good amount. He throws a check down to the back and I’m wondering how he saw it. He has tremendous vision. Some throws from the far hash to the other side of the field were impressive. His arm strength and maneuverability in the pocket, I like what I saw. He made some mistakes but had good decisions, too.”"

Look, Rosier has his flaws but so does every other QB in college football. The difference usually comes down to which QB has the oline to protect and give that QB time. Add in a good run-blocking line and almost any QB will look good. Having said all that, I certainly hope Rosier can make better throws this year regardless of the oline situation. That was one of the most frustrating aspects of his play last year. Quite frankly, it cost them the Pitt game.

Regarding the battle between Williams & Perry: Sheeeeeet. I'm happy to be back to the days of having too much talent at QB. Next year, they battle it out after hopefully getting some live-game experience this year. I just don't see either one taking over the #1 spot this year. If they do then either the season will have started off with a thud or one of those two are just too good to keep off the field. I suspect Richt won't take a senior QB out of the #1 spot without either one of those reasons (not counting the new red-shirt allowance). His comments so far support that assumption.

The key recruitment job in the summer of 2019 is to prevent two QBs from transferring. One most likely will transfer, if we miss on a stud in this recruiting cycle we must keep 2 of the 3 backups we have in the team now long term.

I've commented on this before in other posts. Here's my opinion:

Rosier is going to be the guy in 2018 unless he gets injured or plays horribly. Aside from no one unseating him, having 1 of the underclassmen become the starter in 2018 would spell chaos. If any underclassmen becomes the starter in 2018, the other 2 are going to transfer.

Richt will have a QB competition in Spring 2019 all the way to the end of fall camp. He won't name a starter until about 2 weeks before the season starts. That will keep at least 2 guys in the fold. Richt's best move after the Spring 2019 workouts is to say the QBs are pretty even. That should keep them "in the fold" until the end of the 2019 season where at least 1 QB will transfer.

It will be imperative to get 2 high quality QBs in the 2020 recruiting class. Fortunately, the 2020 recruits are loaded with QB talent.
 
Maybe this staff is just having a hard time developing QBs? Anyone who thinks Malik is suddenly better, raise your hand after watching the Pitt game.

He is better lol you say that like he wasn’t better than every other qb that played for us since Ken Dorsey??.. He accomplished that in year 1 as a starter.

it makes more logical sense that he would be better in year 2 bc we have a legit coaching staff he’s being developed under
 
All right. Here's another take on the QB battle going into camp:

And that’s where Rosier has the edge over Perry, Weldon and Williams. The 22-year-old has actually played in big games and big moments for the Hurricanes, and the others haven’t yet.Yes, Rosier struggled during Miami’s three-game losing skid it ended the season on. He completed 44.9 percent of his passes, and threw three touchdowns and five interceptions during that time.But it’s what he did before that slump that puts him ahead of his competition. Rosier completed 56.4 percent of his passes while throwing 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions during the Hurricanes’ 10-0 start. And with a group of skill position players this season that’s as deep and talented as any Miami has had in recent years, those type of numbers are more than good enough to win games.

Also, to expound upon some of the comments in this thread and my own, the article mentions Perry & Williams:

"Perry arrived to Miami rated as a four-star recruit and the seventh-best dual threat quarterback in his class, Weldon was a three-star player, and Williams signed with the Hurricanes a few months ago rated as a four-star recruit and the fifth-best pro-style signal-caller in his class by the 247Sports’ composite ranking system. "

It makes sense that Perry is struggling in the transition to the pro-style while Williams isn't.

Richt isn't solely focused on the on-field stuff. He's looking for a leader and for now, that leader is Rosier:

"“We are teaching them what it means to be the leader of the team, we’re teaching them what it means to be the quarterback,” Richt said of Perry, Weldon and Williams. “The quarterback has a different standard of how you behave on the field, off the field, how you prepare. It’s different. And these guys got to learn that. They’re making strides, but I haven’t seen it to where I’m like this guy is ready to take the reigns. But we’ll see.” "

Serious question, as I also think he *should* get better, but don't seem to have your level of optimism: what kind of expectations do you have for his results this upcoming season?
 
I'm not going to worry about our QB situation until I have to.

Rosier may improve.
Perry may finally get it
Williams may continue to improve
Weldon may recover from the "stink eye" and improve

All 4 are still here for now working hard....SO Let's just see how it plays out.

Remember we went a long way last year with none of those things actually happening....So I'm not going to worry about this until I have to

Yeah, expecting a first year starter to improve in his second year is totally unheard of. That's why I'm glad we gave up on that Berrios scrub.

How often do Senior Qbs improve their accuracy at least 10% going into their 5th year?
And yes, he needs to improve his accuracy at least that much. Dude was throwing for <50% comp% for over half the ******* games this season.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I actually expect his stats to come down a little because we should be more productive running the football.

Usually, when a QB has lights out yardage and TD stats, it's because the offense couldn't maintain a balanced attack or the defense sucked and they simply had a ton more possessions.

It's not that you don't necessarily have a point but he was also coached by a dumpster fire those first few years.

I don't think we'll see a lightyears type of jump but I think some visible improvement can and should be expected.

We played 13 games. He was over 50% in 8 of them. No need to exaggerate the point that he has accuracy issues.

So Cade had better stats that all of them this spring, and he threw extremely well according to Richt... Why is he not vying for 2nd string?

He likes to party and stick his face in messy vaginas
 
Camp hasn't even started & you guys are already running around like a chicken with it's head cut off about Malik because of something a writer who thinks Jordan Battle is a 3 star said. I'd love to see him become an accurate QB. With his mobility & the weapons on offense, we'd be unstoppable. I just doubt it will happen, & I don't know how anyone could expect anything but a vote of confidence from the coaches in regards to the 5th year senior who's their only QB with any game experience & LSU up first. I take coach speak with a grain of salt. I didn't put much weight into their comments about Shirrefs after last spring, either.

Take a deep breath. We're undeniably in a much better situation at QB. Camp starts tomorrow.

While this is a little off (wasn't half the season), in the biggest games of the year - FSU, VT, ND, Clemson, Wisconsin - he was 70/145 (48%) with 7 tds/9 ints.
 
All the young guys need more eps. Simple as that.

From the sounds of the OL, we need a guy that can move around in the pocket and stay composed more than we need the most accurate guy. I can’t wait to move on from Malik, but it sounds like he gives us the best chance to win.

I'm generally curious what people expect from Malik for the year. Appreciate it.
