I want Perry to win the job. Richt, I believe, wants Perry to win the job. Simply put: the closer Perry gets to his ceiling, the better chance we have of winning big.

But wishing doesn't change what happens on the field. Richt can't just hand him the job if he's not ready. The main thing that is going to accelerate the process is reps. When Kaaya won the job as a true freshman, it was a two-man battle. This has been a four-man race.

So I hope this competition gets cut to two players this week. Richt already alluded to this in his post-scrimmage presser. We've seen enough from Rosier and Shirreffs for Richt to have a preference. They are what they are and any improvements will be incremental. Pick one (without an announcement) and give the first team reps to that guy and Perry.

My concern from his comments was whose reps would be narrowed going forward? From the little scrimmage info/quotes we got it seemed in the realm of possibility he could narrow it to Rosier and Sheriffs...hope not..

The logic seems sound. I like it.

From everything that you've seen D, who is the best QB on the squad & not just who you expect but based on everything you've witnessed.

I've been confused since Spring with the QB comp, because everything we keep hearing is how inconsistent or bad Rosier & Shirreffs looks, but it seems as though they've basically had the lead the whole way through.

It just doesn't seem like there's been much clarity with this.

All of this is a bad idea if Richt is gonna hand Perry a place in the battle that he hasn't earned. It would be him ignoring his years of coaching and acting like you and others who are operating under the assumption that all Perry needs is reps and time. As if it is a foregone conclusion that Perry will be good. Perry wouldn't be the first highly touted QB to just not be any good in college. And that is with all the caveats of, "he's only a freshman", "he's only been practicing for two weeks", blah, blah. I get it.

He shouldn't be given a free pass to #2 . If he's been one of the top 2? Fine. Just a horrible message to the team otherwise.

Maybe Kaaya was just more ready to play than Perry.

Perry is just so much more talented than the upperclassmen. He has the best arm, the best release, he spins it the best, he's the most accurate, he has the most touch and he's the most athletic. It's night and day.

In terms of consistent performance, Evan has had the best camp from what I've seen and heard. Both he and Malik have improved from spring. It's a tough call between those two. Evan is taller, more consistent and doesn't throw stupid picks. Malik has a better arm and is a better fit in the type of offense we're becoming.

It's quite possibly perry has been in the top 2 all camp but just didn't perform as good as he's been performing on Saturday

So you think he was one of the top two in camp and then ****ed on himself in a game situation? Well that should make everyone feel better.

Thanks D, appreciate it.

Personal preference is totally irrelevant.

Performance is the ultimate measure.

Rosier and Shirreffs out-performed Perry, by any measure, and out-performed him significantly. You're going to narrow it down to two positions, then it has to be those two guys.

Give Perry another chance at the next scrimmage. If he can't perform there, in a controlled environment, how is he expected to perform vs 4 and five star D1 college athletes that are getting after him in a real game?

He may just simply not be ready because of not enough time. I've always said, Perry should've enrolled in the spring. But he didn't, and time ran out.

Time to put the quarterback in there that gives us the best chance of winning this fūcking year.

I think the likelihood of Richt increasing Perry's reps is far more greater than him taking reps away from him. Richt made the comment that the "younger qb's" will get a lot better this week leading up to the second scrimmage. It would be impossible for that to happen if he decreases Perry's reps. He also indicated that the older guys are what they are, which to me says, he doesn't expect to much to change from what he has seen all along from the upperclassmen.

I could be making way more out of this than I should, but Richt seemed to downplay Rosiers scrimmage performance on a couple of different occasions. First, he mentioned that Rosier's TD's were "situational". Secondly, he then went on to say that though he would have to weigh the scrimmage a little heavier, he would still have to look at the entire body of work.

Given the above mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Sherrifs and Perry gets the majority of the reps this week.

Dont know for sure but just based off what pete and dmoney have been saying. Brooklyndee stated perry got most of the early action vs the 1st team defense as well as sherriffs(mainly perry) so I'm sure the 2nd team oline had trouble blocking our starting front. We have dead weight there in some of the backups.

Could you not say the same when comparing Perry to Dorsey? I'll take the QB that gives us the best chance to win and if that's Perry he needs to prove it at practice and during scrimmages.

They've had ten practices. Scrimmages are important but not the whole story.

The QB who gives us the best chance of winning Week 1 against Bethune Cookman may not be the same QB that gives us the best chance of winning the ACC in October and November.
 
Sounds like Perry just needs some more time. I don't like the idea of handing him #2 but if Richt thinks it's fine to do then that's what he's paid for.

I certainly hope this is right, and that he limits it to the best of Sheriffs or Rosier and Perry. It would make sense. From not seeing scrimmage it's too hard to discern how big the gap is, and serious his struggles are, relative to the experienced guys. He needs to start at some point this year for us to have a shot at being great this year and next.

That doesn't mean Perry is the better choice right now. There's so much more that goes into playing QB than just having the better arm or better legs.

Rosier and Sherrifs were far better in the scrimmage and actually give us a chance vs FSU. Starting Perry vs FSU would be the equivalent of handing a forfeit note to the ref.

You're right though, this should be a 2-man race. Between Rosier and Sherrifs

Couldn't disagree more. If Rosier and Sherrifs are super tight and there's not much separation why would Richt eliminate one of them from the race?

The year Brad started the first game we opened with Louisville. This year it's Bethune Cookman, which is basically just going to be another scrimmage for the guys. Let these guys compete until someone separates themselves.

As a smart poster said. You should probably just ignore what DMoney and Pete have said about this thing. They've been firmly entrenched and will not be moved. DMoney is so in the bag for Perry he's suggesting removing one QB from the battle that clearly outperformed Perry in the scrimmage. He doesn't even care about on-field results now. Would he suggest that at say the LB or S positions?

Ignoring college football history and how true freshman perform is one thing. Maybe you make the mistake of thinking "our guy is different because he's our guy". Now he wants to ignore on-field stuff in a game-like setting.
 
I just want the best man for the job. If Perry gets it and "fails", yall gon turn on him just like yall did with Kaaya....
