WTF with this freaking love affair for Rosary. He is so limited but people are singing his Praises just because he's our QB. Fk that settling for a 5th Year starter to be mediocre.

This is not accurate. Richt wasn't Charlie Wards OC. Most of Richts QBs in a richt coordinated offense have not been lights out.

Not bashing richts play calling but QBs seem to struggle throwing with him calling plays.

Richt just took the Miami Hurricanes backup 3rd baseman who admitted that he never watched film and coached him to the ACC championshim game and a NY6 bowl in one season

Part of the drops were because there were poorly placed balls. The Cuse game was the only game were WRs (mainly AR) were actually dropping passes that were accurately thrown.

Bull****. A drop is a ball that a receiver gets both hands on and fails to catch without any major influence from the defense. Ball placement ain't got **** to do with being open and not catching a ball that hits both hands. It's a stat that lands solely on the receiver.

If Rosier starts and doesn’t play well. The problem isn’t Roiser. Its Richt and Richt jr and their qb recruiting and development.

Do you have a legitimate problem that you'd like to address with the signing of Jack Allison, Cade Williams, Nkosi Perry, and Jarron Williams?

I swear y'all act like unseating a QB who's 11-3 with a division title under his belt should be an easy task for a handful of freshmen and RS freshmen.

If Rosier struggles...FOH. There's never been a QB in on any team that didn't have times of struggle.

Richt did not recruit Malik, who was a low-star recruit and has limitations. The fact that Rosier had the success he did is a testament to Richt’s coaching.

Richt QB recruiting has been fine. He kept Allison, but he was a solid recruit. He didn’t fit the offense but I can’t fault Richt. He wouldn’t have been able to recruit a different top QB that late in the recruiting cycle. Perry and Williams were excellent gets. Weldon may have been a reach.
 
Thank you. Malik is a good kid, but no way any real head coach at UM takes such a reach. If he improves to ANY degree this year, I will be stoked as ****.

If he blows up and proves me wrong about his ceiling, I will so happily take that beating. He didn't come in with anything Ward tho, and I doubt after this year that comparison will be any closer...much less Kenny K.

Yeah maybe he'll break his own school record for touchdowns. That would be exciting.

You don't know what you're talking about. Ball placement has a huge effect on drop percentage. A receiver running full speed on a post or slant has a much easier catch when the ball's out in front than a ball he has to stop & reach back for. Both will hit his hands. The deep ball to Jeff Thomas early in the Clemson game comes to mind as a good example.

No. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I played receiver and free safety. If a ball hit both my hands and I didn’t catch it, I had pushups and laps coming Monday at practice.

They didn’t get any breaks on ball placement. If you can get two hands on it, it’s placed well enough to catch.

Maybe you should reference a different throw than one that asks a QB to throw it 70 yards across his body on a rollout.
 
Regarding the OP: First of all a bit of an apples/oranges comparison, different types of Qs. But, a good point nonetheless. There are certain elements of football that aren't Rocket Science unless you keep trying to make it that way.

Funny thing about successful college athletes at FSU, Miami, Bama, wherever; they usually improve greatly with EXPERIENCE and playing time. Case in point: Remember fans were complaining about Berrios? He made some pretty significant improvements.

If an athlete who has worked his way into the starting lineup doesn't make improvements, and someone else has. then the starter gets replaced (or in the case of a freshman or transfer who comes in better than your starter, like Bobby Boucher did at University of Louisiana).

For all of last season, and at this point in the program, as much as we love to kick this dead horse, there is a 10-win QB and no one else that fits that replacement bill. Does this mean he's a Heisman candidate and we win a NC like Bobbie's old guy? No, but I bet he improves.

I know you wanna-be NC2A QB coaches aren't going to like this, but, spring showed that Rosier is still starting because that's who the guys who actually draw a pay check to make those decisions, think can best lead the team.
