Oh Yea we will Compete for an ACC title

Advertisement
keep it up brother! We need Rosier to not play stupid and injury free at a few key spots, if so, we going a long way. I disagree on the fsu thing. We have the talent especially this early and they will be coming off the game with bama. I like our chance, better than any time in the past 10 years.
 
I'm way over this not playing in the ACCCG thing. Miami is about to shake that yoke right the **** off.
 
**** Competing. Were gunna win it.

I may be too hyped.....but I really don't think I am.

Even coach Richt said something like they have to continue battling hard in practice cause it is an ongoing competition. (I am paraphrasing.)

So you never know.

Yeah, I kept getting mixed vibes. On one hand, it's Rosiers team. On the other hand, the battle still continues, because you never know....

I believe it's a very short leash situation, which is absolutely critical, in my opinion. We don't need a Brad Kaaya situation where he was the starter no matter how inept his play was at times. That discouraged guys from busting their butts to take the job, because they knew they had no shot. I don't care about the starting QB having to look over his shoulder. I WANT him to be able to look over his shoulder and say, "I got this."

I have a feeling we're going to be happy with the QB play we see, because of all the competition.
 
It looks as if this is an older segment from the ticket at the bottom... 1.webp2.webp

evaluation is ongoing. thought I recall Richt saying he would not hesitate to put another guy in if he needed to. It is also the message he is sending to the other qbs to be ready because due to injury or whatever you never know when your time will come.

I think this weekend is a big test for the QBs, even if it's not being discussed as one. Perry has a chance to show his skills. Shirreffs has a chance to see the field and do something. Rosier has a chance to tighten his grip on the job. It's a big game for all our QBs.

I think it is a lot bigger game for Rosier for the reason you stated. If he has a solid half, I expect to see Sherriffs and Perry get some work in in the 2nd half.

Disagree on what FSU thing? Pretty sure i heard them say Miami has a shot vs Clemson or FSU in ACC title matchup
 
I was listening to 560 AM yesterday and one of the hosts (I think he was a sub for Joe Rose) was laughing at the Canes chances of beating FSU this year, basically saying that FSU is vastly more talented than Miami so we have no hope at Doak. Interesting comments from the official radio station of the Miami Hurricanes.

Vastly more talented? That's why it took the help of the referees and a botched extra point to beat us last year?

And why does it seem like all the sports commentators who are supposedly experts on college football just regurgitate each other's words? They keep saying, "Oh Miami is going to have a big dropoff since Kaaya left," yet not a single one has made the observation that maybe a more mobile QB is a better fit for Richt's offense. We need a new radio station.
 
I was going to make a thread about this... I was looking through the numbers in my offseason boredom and here's what I found regarding Bard's performance last year:

(1) He wasn't that good (we all knew that)

My favorite metric for looking at QB play is ESPN's QB rating. The rating incorporates a variety of situations and looks beyond just passing efficiency. He ranked 40th overall in Total QBR. If you just look at passing efficiency, he ranks around 20, give or take a few spots, but that doesn't account for the fact that he was a statue who wasn't very clutch, which ESPN's metric takes into account. For the sake of comparison, Stephen Morris ranked 36th his final year here. Bard was merely average.

(2) He was particularly bad in our losses (we knew that too)

If you average Bard's QBR in our losses (FSU, UNC, VT, ND- 56.75), his QBR would be good for 71st in the country. That's ******* terrible. I'm not that high on Rosier, but our QB play really can't get that much worse than what Bard did in some of our losses. He literally couldn't tie his shoes against UNC. That being said, FSU is probably where we'll miss not having Kaaya the most. He was atrocious versus UNC, VT, and ND, but was actually decent versus a very talented FSU D.

David Pollack is that dude

Having played for the man and covered the team afterwards, Pollack understands something about Richt that most do not. Most people are used to coach speak, the little ways coaches like to say a lot of words without really telling you much or giving anything away. You know. Bull****.

CMR is honest, sometimes to a fault, but he will look you dead in the eye and tell you what he thinks of our team and our chances, or he'll say he's not going to tell you. Last year he told us our wideouts didn't have enough speed and our o-line was inconsistent with their assignments and the team as a whole were making a ton of mental errors in practice. These words translated directly to what we say on the field. And that's why when David Pollack hears CMR say the things he's saying this year, he knows what it means.

Hence, why he's a substitute instead of having his own show

Throw in the first quarter and a half against WVU. Man, that was painful to watch.
 
I don't not understand why our fans have to consistently beat up Brad, look he wasn't a world beater, but our coach didn't help him either. Running plays like he was Watson. Our o-line was crap as well! Blame can go lots of places not just on Brad and we all know that our chances of going undefeated would have been better with him. Still believe if rosier plays like tee Martin we winning big
