Three times in the second half, Etling took off after two seconds with a good pocket around him. Our OL has issues but they aren't the reason for Etling's play. He is what he is - a one read QB.

stop with the facts. i have said it as well. people with football knowledge can see this. unfortunately we have a very ignorant fanbase who never did understand performance only stat lines thus the failure to have any perpsective or context when speaking about these things.

He was absolutely horrendous yesterday

The worst game he's ever had imo

Etling is not good. Plain and simple. Andrew hatch was tough. Etling is a tad better than him.

Given his limited abilities, calling run plays for him was helpful. We can't beat a decent team with zero passing game, which is what we have. And florida isn't decent. They should be 1-4, with that one win barely beating Vandy.
We completed one pass to a wr, and he had to make a spectacular play on a poorly thrown ball to get that completion.

How anyone can watch etling and not see how terrible he is amazes me. I understand wanting to be positive and all, but he's just not good at all. It feels as if he's gotten worse every game he's started since the first one last year

Posted in another thread.had UF not had 4 freshmen dbs playing 75% of the game and the refs getting the pick call wrong where Chark took the ball away from the DB with his butt on the ground, there is no win and he has 2-3 picks including 2 pick sixes yesterday. I know if and buts...

Geez dude, pretty negative outlook. We had a few freshmen playing on our line man, tell me how the game would have changed if that weren't the case.

We are severely crippled offensively with etling, if you couldnt notice that this game, youre blind. Coaches had zero trust in him with a 1 point lead.

Those are not terrible numbers.

But anyone watching yesterday knows he is has a ton of heart, he's tough as nails, he seems to be a great kid.... but he was the only reason Florida was even in the game.

I think we haven't seen what Canada's offense can really do because Etling has proven time and again that he cannot consistently make even the simplest throws to wide open receivers.

And, if his first option isn't there he immediately bails.

I'm not saying we should bench him, but if Brennan isn't better than him we are in a lot of trouble in the future.

I can't argue with most of that. But I think saying our O-line "has issues" is like saying the sinking of the Titanic was just a boating accident. We're so banged up, with little-to-no depth, etc.

I really think they're at least part of the reason for the QB play. But Danny definitely took off way too early a couple times last night. And I'd have to go back and watch to see if he ever went to his second read.

We dont throw over the middle, they protecting against a mistake late in the game.

He's a senior, makes no sense

Our offense is not "good"...Hell, our team is not "good"... but it isn't all on this kid.
