Richt and brown on the backup qbs.

Advertisement
I wonder how many qbs came in as freshmen and started game or waited till yr two or three before they started.we have heard cmr say qb and oline hardest positions to learn.so why do some of you think that it would happen.the coaches know a check of a lot more than we do.if they were ready they'll play.One things for sure one of them better be ready for next year.

I'm tired of all this sht about how far a guy can throw or how fast he can run. Not only are accuracy and decision making the first 2 things you want in a QB, but they're worth more than all the other attributes combined. And I don't give a sht how awesome a guy looks in HS, there is absolutely no telling what he'll do when confronted with DTs who are as fast as HS LBs.

So next time we land some blue chip wonder, calm your asses down with the predictions.

I want everyone to go back to the Jarren Williams blow-bang thread and read my posts that say absolutely that rosier will be the starter.

It’s quite appearant that what rosier brings to the table is what Richt wants from QB1. I think the article discussing the Tua kid at Bama illustrates that; it’s clearly what richt doesn’t want.
 
I'm not frustrated by our current QB situation. I think we're in good shape for the foreseeable future.

Seems quite a few here have forgotten that Freshman QB starters are rare. Sure it happens but its more the exception rather than the rule regardless of the skill set of that Freshman QB.

IMO the frustration with Rosier drives the higher unreasonable expectations some have for our Freshman and Sophomore QB's.

Our young QB's aren't developing slower as CFB QB's ....... they are developing normally.

I wouldn't gloat too hard about the people that were wrong on Rosier being beaten out by now,....as it clearly only lowers our ceiling for the year (without a big upgrade in the run game) and puts things into perspective.

So it’s a bad thing for the team that the incumbent starting QB is still better than the backups even though the backups have improved?

Every UM fan should be “gloating” that our starting QB appears to have improved enough to clearly hold off a group of guys who are more talented than he is and who have also gotten better since last year.

Instead, the dummies on here treat Rosier like he’s an FSU player (actually most of the kumbags constantly shredding Rosier gum job other teams’ players all the time). The dopes in here are actually hoping that a backup plays over the starter even though the guy getting paid $5M per year, who has produced 1st round QBs and coached Heisman QBs, has determined that Rosier is clearly better than his backups right now.

Cmon broke.

You post a tweet with a link to an article. Not only that it's behind a paywall.

Cmon mane. You're better than this.

Here are the main relevant parts:

Added Brown: “Cade Weldon [has done] some nice things throughout the camp so far. He had a couple picks Saturday. Some were his fault and some weren’t his fault. But obviously you’ve got to do a better job of taking care of the football.”


The Canes’ backup QBs, in order of practice rotation during media viewing since fall camp began Aug. 4: redshirt freshman Perry, redshirt freshman Weldon and true freshman Williams.

In a one-on-one interview last week with the Miami Herald, Richt said he was “so proud of the younger guys’ approach now compared to what it was. It wasn’t good enough. It was not good enough and it was making me crazy. They weren’t even in the competition because they weren’t doing what it takes to be the man.

“Jarren is trying but he just started.

“N’Kosi has come light years in his approach to football. He’s got a little quiet confidence about him. I think he knows he’s talented. I think he knows he can do it. I think he knows that it also is more than that. Now that he understands it’s more than that and he really needs to be an expert at what he does and of what we’re doing and how we’re doing it, he’s seeing the value of that. I think before he thought he could drop back and if somebody weren’t open he could start scrambling and make a play, and he can a lot. He can. But you can’t build your whole offense around that.


Sounds like Perry has QB2 locked down and hopefully he will be running the show by the end of the season.

Hopefully Perry is not the starter by end of the year. That would likely mean we have at least one, probably 2+ losses. I'm hoping Rozier comes out and surprises everyone with his leadership and new found accuracy & ball security. This would be the best case scenario even if it makes you wrong about him in the mean time.

Did you not watch last year? Are we supposed to feel comfortable about Rosier's accuracy or decision making?
 
Rosier beat out who he had as competition, be it 3 Juniors and a Sophmore. It just so happens they are all young. That doesn’t mean Malik didn’t deserve it nor can’t lead this team to the next level. I’m a believer he can improve us by 2 games this season and can break his TD record while doing it.

The question is will Jake Heaps be available next year if Weldon bails

I'll never forget the fatal blow to J12 (may he RIP) in Charlottesville.. & the sobering reality of Spencer Whipple taking charge.

Dark days.

In other words, Richt likes the potential he sees in Perry, but he has no interest in turning him loose to play “Johnny ball.”

Me and a friend were talking about this yesterday. I was saying how Lamar Jackson really didn't know what he was doing his first year starting. He was just using his athletic ability to make plays. He brought up Ole Johnny ball kind being the same way. Like you said that's just not Richt's style.

That was absolute tourture. Imagine if Harris doesn’t get hurt that year. Miami saves Morris redshirt and Morris starts as a redshirt senior in 2014 probably has a great year and Kaaya would redshirt maybe.

It better be a better version of Rosier than we saw last year. If Rosier has indeed improved, it's an absolute no brainer to start him. I guarantee you, if Rosier struggles like he did last year, a lot of young, inexperienced QBs will be getting some experience.

Bottom line, we need our QB to be able to make good decisions, good reads, and MAKE **** PASSES. I don't care which QB it is, just get the job done. We are not the Miami Rosiers, or Miami Perrys. We are the Miami Hurricanes, and we need a QB to get the ball into the hands of the plethora of play makers we have on the roster. Something Rosier struggled terribly with last year.

No. You're supposed to feel comfortable that he's improved enough since last season to hold off studs who are clearly more talented than he is.

You can feel however you want. I certainly won't be comfortable, but that has nothing to do with my numerous posts on this thread.

I'm saying that it was foolish to think the other guys would start just because they have better tools. It was entirely predictable that at least 2 of the younger guys would struggle, and that the 3rd is shouldn't be too shocking. Having a better arm or mobility isn't much if you can't throw to the right guy or aren't even sure who is the right guy. It's fcking hard to win the starting job, so nobody should have assumed one of them would.

Rosier may not finish the year as the starter, but until somebody proves to be more accurate and a better decision maker, no amount of arm talent or scrambling ability is prying the job away. And that shouldn't be surprising.
