Two very telling moments from last night

1. Announcers relayed a quote by Aranda, something to the effect of "Miami doesn't have an intermediate passing game. Everything is a deep ball or RPO."

Then I watched the game play out, as Rosier airmailed open receiver after open receiver in the 'intermediate passing game', and continually aired it out on low percentage deep balls. I don't question Rosier's heart, toughness, or want-to....he's just not good enough. He's also not tall enough to have an effective and consistent intermediate passing game because, to get the throw over the raised arms of DL (who are often in his face because they overmatch the OL) with enough zip to get there before DB's close the gap, it's going to go high. And when he does have time or a passing lane, his decision-making and accuracy just aren't good enough (throwing 'hot' to the opposite side of a corner blitz?). We might be able to win the Coastal again with Rosier (but probably not), but that's probably the ceiling.

2. Trayone Gray literally sidestepping to get out of the way of a blitzer coming right up the gut.

Not just a whiffed block....this was seemingly a deliberate attempt to NOT make a block. Coming on the heels of Richards not even making an attempt to fight the DB off for that deep sideline ball, it almost seems like these guys are trying to sabotage Rosier. I'm not saying that they are, but that's certainly the perception it gives, and if it's even remotely true, then we're going to have trouble beating FIU, much less F$U. And Trayone should be suspended or kicked off the team for that garbage, regardless...if it was deliberate, gone, see ya...if it wasn't deliberate, he's terrible and shouldn't play. Completely inexcusable, but a symptom of deep problems within this team, whether it be festering in the locker room or talent-wise on the field.

Not sure what the Gray homers and the staff saw in Gray being the number 3 back. Dude is awful. Get Lingard, Burns, Realus, and Davis reps

In all fairness, it's an annual tradition to hype Choc like crazy during the offseason and fall camp for no good reason. It's been going on for like 8 years now.
 
You figure Rosier had the whole off-season to build trust back with the receivers and team and the body language showed that these guys are already sick of this ****. We going to blame last night on a bad shoulder too.

My hope was that Rosier would be the starter for LSU and play well, but if he didn't it would be the impetus for change that we need at QB. Savannah St. is up next, all 3 young QB's need to play in that game to see what we have.
 
I hope the talk went like this “son I’ve given you every opportunity to be successful and it’s obvious your a good athlete and a good person and your future in this world is bright, but you just don’t have the talent to be a successful qb at this level and we have to go with the next guy”

This.

We already know what we have with Malik, let me see what others have, it can't be worse, it just can't be. Then again I say one woman can't be crazier than the next, yet they prove me wrong haha.
 
I thought a sneakily telling moment was when Rosier was out there scrambling around and had his shoulder pad come out of his jersey. TV camera pans in and, at least usually, you see a teammate or two try to help the dude. Our gameday crew joked the players were like "f it, keep it outside, it might help things."

Jokes aside, my most telling indicator last night was we had real opportunities to bring in Weldon or Williams or both to at least get some live looks. Doesn't seem it was even a consideration. That's pretty worrisome.

Usually if a guy can’t get off the bench for a single play for several years, odds are he won’t all
Of a sudden be good. I wasn’t expecting much out of gray despite the practice reports bc of his lack of PT the past several years.

If the vets can’t get pass pro right, throw the young kids in there.

Is this richt’s Achilles heel? His unbending loyalty to his son and rosier? It’s a head scratcher. I’m sure he sees that he’ll lose the team fast if he continues to trot out rosier.

Thing is, if we had a competent OC and QBC, we’d see better production
