There is a thread mentioning that Malik was spouting off at fans, is that true or are they just making shit up again?
Thread on cayuts board about Malik spouting off to fans
- Thread starter SpotHogCard
- Start date
I haven’t heard him say anything. His dad went out there and tried to put the “Domann should start” stuff to bed though.
Parents that do things like that have always pissed me off.
In this case, he should have talked to the coaches and let them handle the fans. IMO, he just added fuel to the fire.
To me, the fact that his dad felt the need to tell the fans that his son should remain the starter smacks of fear.
As a parent if you are going to be active on social media be emotionally ready or stay off it. To me a parent that is on it wants all the glory and that just isn’t happening.
I said Saturday that if MC didn't get a wake up call, and start being a QUARTERBACK...he never will.
Seems like Dad got it.
The offense, regardless the strength of competition, moved more efficiently than it has this year.
And speaking of strength of competition, UVA is arguably "better" than BC.
And how did that BC competition work out for MC?

There a simple fact that some do not want to admit, Malik is easy to defend because of his inability to read defenses and go beyond the 1st read.
I get it that players want to "hotdog" but athleticism will only take you so far.
Yeah, you and your post really lit a fire under the Cunningham family - lol. As for your other question well - Malik accounted for 250yds and 4 TDS until he left the game with a concussion. Your new hero Domann went 1-8 with an INT and failed to lead UofL back after the defense got repeatedly gashed for big plays So fair to say that the BC loss wasn’t on Malik.
Way better. We were not mentally prepared to win against BC. We came out going through the motions like we have so many times under Satterfield. When we bring it we're a different team. Why is that so hard for Satterfield to see.
Look I agree with his passing issues and inability to completely go through progressions but this here is not it... multiple ACC coaches have openly said he’s one of the hardest players in the country to defend and game plan for. They also said they can’t wait for him to leave so they don’t have to plan for him again.
Polite coach speak. Of course they are going to say that. Ask the opposing linebackers and DEs if they think he is hard to defend.
Nope - as usual, you don’t see.
Wins and losses are team things. You tried to crap on Malik individually suggesting that the loss was on him. In every way - statistically, the eye test, etc - that is simply nonsense.
You’re welcome.
The QB position is very similar to pitchers in baseball if you don’t have pitchers that can throw strikes you probably aren’t winning many games.
Malik main flaw is his passing accuracy. Games are going to come down him making throws not running. This prevents them from extending leads or taking leads late. The throws aren’t always his fault but this year hasn’t been good considering his experience. He has been wildly inconsistent throwing the ball. To me that is really hard to blame the team.
He is the guy, but he needs to be more consistent in games. He would be a nightmare if his passing was better. The problem is he isn’t. Now a defense can single up on the outside commit safeties to the box.

Malik is one of the most gifted athletes to ever play football at UL; he, nor anyone else will likely measure up to Lamar, but Malik comes about as close as anyone. Malik reminds me a lot of Major Harris when he was guiding WVU so successfully, but went drafted because he was a much better athlete than he was a QB.
Eveyone knowledgeable of offensive football in college, and have paid attention to UL a over the last 3 years, can clearly see that Malik lacks all of the necessary skill set to perform as a winning QB. His struggle reading the defense and moving from one progression to another, as he so often locks into one receiver as soon as the ball is snapped ……something opposing defenses have recognized. Yet, the most overwhelming issue Malik has failed to overcome, is his inability to sustain consistency in the passing game. There have been games, and periods within some games, where Malik exhibited consistent accuracy completing passes …..but it has never been sufficiently consistent, evidenced by so many games where his percentage of completion reached the level it takes to win over the course of the season. Perhaps the most glaring negative has been his inability to execute in the critical 3rd and 4th down situations where it ws the difference between winning and losing.
Do not misinterpret what I am saying here, as Malik is not the only reason we are losing in disappointing fashion, as his ability to run the football has been the only thing that has kept us in so many close losses. I do believe right now, Doman at QB gives this UL team the best opportunity to salvage the season. Our opponents know how to beat UL with Malik at QB ……... they just need to load up the box and focus on containing Malik, as he has not demonstrated that he can beat them throwing the football.

Actually, you are right.
When MC is “on” he’s the most exciting DANGEROUS player today.
It’s just frustrating that in his 20th year here (it seems) he has so many brain farts.
I as much as anybody hope things click for him so we can win 4 or 5 of the next 6. We need him “on” in order to do that.
Question for all of my fellow posters: Would we be better off with our backup qb and have MC as a runner/receiver? He could actually pass the ball from the rb spot from time to time as a surprise to opposing defenses. In my opinion, MC might make it at the next level as a receiver/runner but not as a qb whereas Domann is a better and more consistent passer. Just some thoughts.
GO CARDS!!!
@BPGhost is right.
MC has had fantastic games and flashes of “special” in his career.
For some reason he seems to forget everything at times
At other times he passes like Tom Brady.
I hope the injured week and the bye week get his head back where it needs to be.
When he is “on” we can compete with anyone and beat a lot of them.
OK fine. But how would we know if gocds point is valid or not until it is tried in a game. At this point record wise...what do the Cards have to lose?
MC is hands down better than Brock end of discussion. VA was god awful everybody always thinks the back up is better until they are scouted .
Malik has averaged 250+ yards and 18+ points per game in his career - that’s pretty special for a CFB QB. He had the misfortune of following a generational player in Lamar with a similar skill set that was never going to match up.
As incredible as Lamar was at the college level - UofL was far from undefeated during his time. He wasn’t perfect and neither is Malik. Neither one of them played defense and many of the losses during both of their tenures came about because the defense couldn’t get off of the field. Other games - like against Houston with Lamar or, like for most of Malik’s career - they were running for their lives because the OL was terrible.
We have been spoiled with the routinely excellent QB play we’ve witnessed in the past 30 years. To suggest - based upon ONE game vs a TERRIBLE opponent that a JUCO QB is better than Malik is perhaps one of the most irrational and nonsensical notions ever floated on this board.
Several posters here, myself included, have offered opinions about where our qb position is at this point in the season. These opinions are rational although there is some disagreement amongst the different points of view. We will see in the next few weeks where we are. CSS's future may very well lie with the success or failure of his decisions in this regard.
GO CARDS!!!
GO CARDS!!!
CSS has done a horrible job developing Malik and the fact that he has not signed a legitimate D1 quarterback since coming to Louisville justifies this remark. The reason Doman looked so good against Virginia is because 1. Virginia is just that bad, and 2. No one had any idea of his game plan using Doman as Malik has been the guy now for almost 5 years
QB is clearly the single most critical position on the offensive side of the football most, but huge statistics like Malik and Lamar posted in the course of their respective seasons do not necessarily translate into successful fortunes for their teams. Ironically, the Ravens team performance this season have failed to provide Lamar with adequate support.
You are correct GOCDS; if UL‘s staff does not use this week off as an opportunity to insert Malik in as a slot receiver, or as a RB for a few plays while putting Doman in at QB; they will have missed an opportunity to turn a disappointing first half of the season, into a chance to finish strong.
Our defense, particularly our secondary, gives us little chance to win, and if we hope to compete the balance of this season it will only occur by scoring a lot of points. There was nothing that I have seen so far this season from Malik at QB, that makes me believe the he can sustain the required consistency throwing the football. Not sure Doman can either, but at this point, this staff need to try.

I think what we have in Dohmann is a serviceable backup, which we didn’t have before. That’s a positive.
MC would’ve looked good against Virginia’s defense. If Cunningham is missing wide open targets like he does on occasion, bring in Brock and see what happens. We have a better chance of winning with MC imo.
Who can realistically think that a QB who has started less than 2 games to be better than a QB who's been running Satterfield's offense for at least 4 years??? Lets count the # of reps each has received. Its apparent that Satterfield didn't know we might have a capable backup. The fact that we are even questioning whether Doman should start says a lot about Malik's development. Maybe he should come back as Micale...
