It's so bad I've come to the belief that he (or Richt) decides if it's a keeper or not before the snap. That being said, I wish we had some variation in our zone reads. Syracuse ran my favorite play several times, the power read. That play alone made Andy Dalton a legit dual threat at TCU. Andy Dalton
If we included that in our arsenal Malik would break off big ones at a more consistent rate.

Yeah I was gonna say, don't sleep on Cade. Whoever gets the job is the one who is consistent in making the reads Richt wants them to in the passing game.
The other option is you roll with Malik next year and then Perry gets his first taste with the offense as a junior...having wasted 2 years of eligibility? And by then a good chunk of the defense is in the nfl.

I’m probably wrong. I don’t really know the eligibility rules that well.
Rosier got intangibles, I wouldn't start Perry unless he's above and beyond better.

But yeah man...and?
Kids see the field for the first time as RS Sophs and Juniors all the time. The defense is good now, it should be good in 2019, too. It's not like we have a once in a lifetime roster we're going to lose because of a salary cap or anything. Eligibility is the name of the game in college.
Hypothetical:
Let's say N'Kosi plays next year and is great, then again in 2018 and leaves because he has two years of good tape, and in 2019 we have the best team we've had in years but have to rely on an unproven, first year starter at QB?
In college, you just can't play that "we got the talent now so we need such and such guy on the field" game. These kids make huge strides (in either direction) every year.
Honestly, the best thing to do at the college level is stockpile talent, and through red-shirts, try to keep them on campus as long as possible, so you have a constant influx of dudes who have been showing out in practice and on scout team for about 2-3 years before they see the field. That way you build depth, and can reload every year with damn near proven quantities year after year and never feel left assed out when someone graduates/declares.
In a sport where you have a time limit on how long you can keep guys, keeping sure things and known quantities is the name of the game.
If Malik keeps playing like this, he starts next year because you know what you have and you know what you have is good. Then in 2019 you have a few guys who have been on campus for 2 1/2 years, in practice, in the scout team, learning the playbook inside and out, competing for the job and you're left with a lot less questions.
That's not just for QB, it's for all positions.
