There is some merit to the O-Line being less-than-stellar, but that excuse is getting very old.

Pocket presence MUST improve regardless. Thus far that one factor alone has been debilitating to his development. I am hoping that specific practice drills are focused on that factor as a basis for his mental development as a QB. It is all in his head, so they need to drill into his incremental success patterns that give him confidence and allow him to develop this intuitional ability. If/when that happens, then that will start the development ball rolling.

Here's what new Florida QB Brantley had to say about the position. An option that wasn't available to the LSU QBs as of 2008.

quote:

Brantley, a redshirt junior, is thankful now that he wasn’t rushed into being a starter and had the luxury of soaking everything in as Tebow’s backup.

There’s no doubt in his mind that he’s much more equipped to step in and lead this team now because of that experience.

“You learn so much by sitting back and watching and learning the game,” Brantley said. “As a freshman, I didn’t know what was going on. The game was way too fast for me. Now that I’ve been around and gone through the springs and participated with the first team, it doesn’t seem nearly as fast.

“I know I’m ready to go in and play right now. I wouldn’t have been as a freshman.”
