Richt's QB rotations are irrational

Much like many of his decisions. Rosier should have permanently been placed on the pine a long time ago and we should have rolled with one of the younger guys, but that didn't happen. Then the quick hook of Perry against UVA which was a head scratcher given the extraordinarily long leash Rosier has been afforded. The subsequent not playing Perry at all against BC. Then his rotations in this game. None of it makes sense.

In the game last night he inexplicably brought in Perry for just a couple series right when the torrential downpour started. This is a young qb who needs passing reps and completions to build confidence. I don't see any confidence building coming from inserting him at this spot. Then for some reason Perry heads back to the bench and Rosier returns. Why at that particular moment? No one knows. Perry is reinserted in crunch time with the game on the line having thrown no passes the entire game except a few in a monsoon. ???

The thing that made this extra weird was that Rosier had actually played pretty well immediately preceding this. He led a drive to a missed fg where he was 3-3 and...brace yourself....actually hit all three receivers in stride with perfect passes. The next drive Rosier only attempted 1 pass which was a ball in the dirt to cager under duress. So the two drives before his benching he was 3-4 with all the completions being in stride. Good job Malik, now head to the bench so we can put in this guy who's been getting stiff on the sideline the last 2 hours and hasn't attempted a non monsoon pass all game.

We're talking about the same guy who came to the in game conclusion last year that benching Rosier for Evan Sherieffs was a good idea.

He panics, plain and simple. There is no "grand plan", there is no logical thought process. He's flying by the seat of his pants all while refusing to change the scheme.

He makes Pat Nix and James Coley look like competent OC's. Period.

Did the same thing last year. He only brought in Shirreffs when it was a horrible, horrible time to do so. I get Shirreffs wasn't an out of this world talent, but guys need reps to grow. That goes for Shirreffs, Perry, Williams, Weldon, all of them. Feeding Rosier reps when he is done growing is like wasting water on a dead tree. Cut the **** thing down and use it for firewood, but stop watering it already.
 
I mentioned it last night but starting Rosier and letting him play 2 series is mind boggling.

What is it you’re hoping to see from Rosier? If nothing else that kid is consistent. You know exactly what you’re getting.

Your excuse has always been “well Rosier is the safe pick” but yet you out Perry in backed up to his goal line in a torrential downpour.

There is no logic. He just guesses. Always has.

Good point about the goalline insertion of Perry. There's no logic to any of this! Beyond alarming. Part of the many reasons why this thing is way bigger than finding a new OC.

Agree 100%. Though I don't like the strategy, it looked to me like it was a planned two series rotation. It didn't appear to be situational at all. But like you said, the most frustrating part was that Rosier was actually playing **** well (on Rosier standards). I made the same comment that he had hit 3 or 4 guys in a row right on stride allowing them to catch and run. This is something he hadn't been able to do all year. I saw him connect to Harley for a nice catch and run on a perfectly delivered throw. I'm not sure 12 and 2 had hooked up well once all season. So Malik was playing quite well for him, and then he gets pulled. Again, it appeared to be planned, but it worked against us not for us.

Trainwreck. The whole freakin thing is just one huge trainwreck right now.

Exactly.

Say we hire a really good OC. With Richt our ceiling is still winning the Coastal and getting our asses beat by Clemson so how many years does that waste? It holds us over maybe and we beat the Coastal team’s we should beat, but really make no overall improvements.

Just a waste of time hiring an OC, and that’s provided it actually works.
 
We’ll sooner figure out the meaning of Stonehenge before figuring out the QB rotation. Last night was painful to watch.
 
It is as if CMR want's Perry to be a failure. He puts in Perry in the most undesirable situation he possibly could. I do not understand and at this point, I quit trying.

It was almost like he was HOPING Perry would fail there. What other logic is there?

Enough with the 'Richt wants Perry to fail' bullsh-it. It was a 2 and 2 rotation. And then when it came down to the final drive and a chance to get the game to OT, who was under center? Perry. Yet Richt wants him to fail, right? Stupid. Perry does a fine job failing all by himself.
 
Perry and the rest of the backups have really got the short end of the stick all season. Just get the guys reps.
 
First 2 times Perry sent in on our 5 and on our 2 in a torrential downpour. Perfect set up for failure for a QB with no meaningful.snaps for several games

Then why for God's sake start Rosier and waste ANY reps on him?
 
He’s completely botched the QB situation this season.

It’s almost like he spins a wheel before every possession to see who he’s gonna trot out. The minute he yanked Perry vs UVA, following his 4 TDs against FSU, the team started to quit. Removed all our (and Perry’s) momentum by going back to the QB everyone hates.

Playing an awful, 5th year senior is inexcusable. More horrible coaching moves.
