The question is do you want to break in a new qb in 2017 or 2018? Some of you say Kaaya gets us to 10 wins and an ACC Championship game [loss] next year. Does anyone dispute that is probably his ceiling? You know what you are going to get. We haven't seen Allison, maybe he is the next Gino Toretta. On the other hand, maybe he sucks. If that is the case, wouldn't you rather know that going into 2018 so that we can address the position and make what I think will be our first legitimate run at another title? Even if Allison starts, I think the team surrounding him is good enough to win the Coastal. Again, I don't want Kaaya to leave, but it's not the end of our hopes next year if he enters the draft.
Giving Allison and Perry another year to bulk up (both were/are sticks coming in) and learn the playbook means that they're more likely to be successful in 2018 than in 2017, IMO. Unless someone thinks that Rosier is better than Kaaya straight up, it'd make sense to maximize his time here.
I'm with you on Perry, but Allison just had a full year to get bigger and learn the playbook. By the time next season rolls around that will be almost two years to bulk up. I don't think waiting until year 3 will make a difference in his size or performance. I try to project how we can be best positioned to make a title run. If Tony Cucks wants to call it hypothetical b.s. so be it. Our coaching staff actually flat out stated we need two recruiting classes to have the depth necessary to compete for titles. That means 2018 will be the first year we have the depth to go 11-1 and compete for a playoff spot. Is it better to have a brand new qb or one with a year of experience if we want to win ring number 6? I lean towards the latter.
