If Richt goes with Rosier its because he doesn't want to take risks - he's going with the known commodity (who is ****) and experience, over one of the younger guys just because he doesn't want to go through freshman mistakes. I think that is absolutely the wrong decision. If Rosier "wins" the starting job, its not because he was outright better than Perry/Weldon/Jarren in all aspects of being a QB. In fact we know 100% that Perry has a stronger arm, and is more accurate. We literally already know that. The question that Richt harps on, and its obviously a big one, is who has the best grasp of the offense and can read a defense best. So Richt may go with the "safe" choice in Rosier because he's in his ******* 5th year and ran the offense for a full season last yr. But that doesn't mean it was the right choice. I'm saying that just because Rosier has a better understanding of the Offense/Defense it shouldn't win him the job.
Lets say these reports are true, and Perry doesn't know the offense or how to read a defense as well as Rosier (not exactly surprising given this is Rosiers 5th year). That still is not a good enough reason to choose Rosier as our QB. I've literally already shown statistically what we have in Rosier. The ONLY thing he's done that is not complete **** is throw a high TD% and I'm not exaggerating one bit, I've already showed it. Perry is still the smarter play, because he can learn during the season. Rosier isn't going to improve over the season, because he's already reached his potential. Perry or the other 2 haven't even scratched the surface yet. And 3 out of our 4 first games are warm up games, and the LSU game really doesn't matter all that much in the grand scheme of things (I think we'd still win with whoever at QB). Point is the three frosh are a little riskier because they will make the bad frosh decisions, but Rosier is still soo ******* bad that he shouldn't be the starter no matter what.
So Perry could "lose" the QB competition due to Richt not wanting to take the risk of a young QB, but it doesn't make his decision the right one. Yes there absolutely would be some struggles for Perry along the way. Thats what happens every time a Freshman is thrown into the fire. But Perry is the better choice to QB this team over Rosier. There is no actual benefit to having Rosier be our Qb over Perry. Its not like Rosier is peyton manning making great reads. Secondly even if Rosier is better at making reads, he's so inaccurate that it doesn't even matter. Maybe Perry will be limited to 2 reads the entire first half of the season.....well the offense would still be better doing that than going with a guy who can't even complete 50% of his passes.
This isn't like we are discussing going with a game manager in Alex Smith over Kaepernick, where its an actual difficult situation. No, this is like choosing between Tom Savage and Deshaun Watson, where Tom Savage is ******* terrible, and Deshaun Watson has way more potential but is a riskier play because his understanding of the offense and NFL defenses is obviously not going to be all that high as a rookie. I think this is a good way to look at this QB competition we face. Savage won that competition too, and look what happened - the known **** Qb was ****. And the Qb with way more potential and that was a riskier play went through some valleys, but the peaks were well worth it, and he continued to improve as the season went on.... People are acting like Rosier is Alex Smith, when hes not. If that were the case and Rosier were actually a good decision maker and was accurate, I'd be all about starting Rosier. But hes not! I absolutely think if the Only think Rosier is better at in practice right now is diagnosing Coverages and knowing the playbook, then Perry/Weldon/Jarren should be named the starter
