Rosier's best passing game overall

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Suppose Saturday isn’t his ceiling? Suppose he’s actually making modest improvement and Saturday’s game only gives him more confidence to look off safety’s and go through his progressions better? Suppose he’s morphing into a better running version of Joe Burrow? Suppose he can be 5% completions better on the road and in conference than he was last year? Suppose instead of throwing the balls that became interceptions last year, he throws one third out of bounds and tucks and runs or takes a sack on the other third?

I think Rosier will string together a few of these games against conference opponents this year. I have no idea what his ceiling is but I think it’s higher than Saturday.

I'd be thrilled if you were correct, but unfortunately I think we have enough of a sample size to draw reasonable conclusions. He's just not consistently accurate, especially down the field. And Richt likes to push the ball vertically. If he's going to throw 23 times, and several of them are deep or intermediate throws, what you saw Saturday is at or close to the best he's going to do.

But I think the 12 we saw Saturday can beat every team on the schedule not named Clemson.

Golden was fired by then. We have Golden 2.0 now.

However, I would take an Actual playcalling OC. ****, I'd take James Coley as OC.

Of course you would because you like our RB throwing passes in the middle of a phycking blizzard.

LOL That was bad, no doubt! He still would be a "Play-Calling" upgrade over Golden 2.0

I think that 12 can beat Clemson.

His supposed best game as a passer with less than 60% complete, only 205 yards and two TDs against lowly Toledo.

I've seen enough of him. Get somebody else in there.

I think that 12 can beat Clemson as well as the other conference teams, if our defense can keep their offense from running all over us and keep the game close. though I’d be more comfortable with my statement if he was a wee bit better than he was Saturday, to be honest.

Key for me is he had no interceptions and Miami improved on 3rd down conversions (more important than completion percentages). Recognizing the blitz, calling an audible to a better play; these are things he can improve on and understand better - even if he’s not more accurate. Though obviously we’d love for him to be more accurate.

I’m a homer, so take my scenarios with a mountain of salt, but im not afraid of Clemson and I think we haven’t seen the best of Rosier.

I fixed it for you lol

 

[The Owl]

So if he does it once am I right and you’re wrong or does he have to average 5% points better?

Because:
On the road last year he was 46.2%
In conference last year he was 51.2%

If he has a 5% better completion percentage on the road in conference and positively helps the team beat Clemson, you win. I would have no problem admitting I was wrong. Wouldn't be the first time and sure as **** won't be the last time. However, I don't think Rosier could have a good game against Clemson even if Zeus and Apollo came down from Mount Olympus to help him.

I bet you think Donaldson will slide inside to RG too, or that Dallas will become the starter at RB!
The staff are going to stick to their guns with the exception of Boulware taking over for Jones at LG.
If I'm wrong about this you can choose my avatar.

46.2 and 51.2, not only shows how bad he was, but how low of a bar a 5% improvement should be (for most other QBs).

Wrong is the wrong word anyway. I think we would both be relieved.

I'm in complete agreement there.

 

[Loose Cannon]

What about a QB that can hit 60% of his passes against a juggernaut like Toledo, AND be able to run? Crazy I know.

The difference between 57% and 61% is one completion...like the one Mallory should have caught. And I'm not blaming anyone for drops. They happen. I'm just giving food for thought to people who have to seek out a way to shlt on the guy even though he had a pretty **** good ballgame.

Completion percentage is really an outdated stat, tbh. It does tell a story, sure. His completion percentage sucked last year, and we all watched him throw the football and came to the same consensus. Yep. He sucked. But how accurate the passes are is really what tells the story.

But the point above does hold true. He was 13/23, which is 56.5% completion percentage. If Mallory catches a ball that he should 19 times out of 20 (and yes, I know it wasn't an accurate ball), he's 14/23, which is 60.8% completion percentage and everyone is saying, "Hey, the kid completed 60% of his passes". I'm more concerned about his accuracy. One of the completions was to Jeff Thomas where he had to slow down, veer towards the sideline, and catch the ball over his head like Willie Mays. That was a HORRIBLY thrown ball. Was probably a legit 15 yards from where it should have come down. But it's a 40 yard completion.

All I'm saying is he's going to be inaccurate a lot of the time. He's not a good passer. He's inconsistent and inaccurate. But on Saturday, he made some really nice accurate throws when he had to, and he should get credit for that. He did his job, for the most part.

I agree, but I actually thought the bad pass to Thomas was a throw away attempt that JT ran down anyway. It looked to me as if Rosier was more throwing away from the defender than to Thomas. But that's just my interpretation. He's definitely missed enough that it could go either way.

You could also make a strong case that there were three uncalled blatant PI's. One against each Langham, Thomas, and Jordan--with Langhams being the most egregious. Could you imagine the implosion that would be going on if those got called? Rosier 14-20 (70%) and 5TDs?

Rosie sucks and stop with all this phone hype. He will never see an NFL team.

Solid analysis bro. Way to bring it. Post a ton more.

 

[mackjones]

Rosier currently has the No. 43 QBR in the nation. Ouch. At least he has three more " weak " opponents to improve on that rating.

I didn't realize I was on an NFL message board.

Yeah, I could really use more HB passes in the snow when our QB is in a rhythm on a potential GW drive.

Some of these stat hounds don’t watch games; they only show up here to bytch and parse stats.

If you watched the game you know Rosier played well regardless of that magical 60% completion stat they’re clinging to. He needs to be more accurate, and I don’t think he’s very good. But he answered Toledo every time and stopped them from going on a total rockslide against our defense that completely went in the toilet.

Being a winner isn’t always about accumulating the stats that message board dorks think are integral to their purse swinging tirades. Rosier won that game for us because that had all the earmarks of a disastrous loss when Toledo started scoring at will.
