I got nothing.
Not a good look putting Baugh in just to score a late TD
Not a college game, but went to a Jacksonville Bulls game where it rained so hard that both teams had to move to the same sideline and the water was standing out to the numbers on one side of the field. Water ran down the seating like waterfalls.

The historic "Rain Game" occurred during Week 18 of the 1984 season (June 24, 1984) when the Jacksonville Bulls hosted the Pittsburgh Maulers at the Gator Bowl. Heavy torrential rains delayed the kickoff by nearly 90 minutes and completely flooded one sideline, resulting in an incredibly sloppy matchup featuring 12 fumbles.

The Gators lost a game so theCAW is crowing loudly on the main board.
Please ignore him as it just makes it look like there is turmoil in the fan base when you argue. Negagators are a cancer to the program. Don't add fuel to the fire.
Since you have been at practice every day evaluating the QBs, which one do you feel gives us a better chance to win than Philo? I trust the coaches to make that call.
quote:

I see a QB with no pre-snap awareness. Just running the plays as told with no adjustments to protections or seeing how they are defending our WRs. A QB who has no pocket awareness. Does not have the ability to move around in the pocket. Does not step up to make the throws and rather stands there and just throws the first read instead of looking at multiple reads. Has no scrambling ability besides a few bootleg calls. Panics when the pressure is coming and can't run with the football. Can't make the anticipation throws to expect your guy to be there to make the catch.


We agree, so many things are more important than arm strength. I am not prepared to give up on Philo yet, partially because he is probably our best option.

I hate Mertz and Philo because they're the types that limit our potential on offense.


I would argue that both of these guys have as good of arm strength as Danny did. So many factors are more important than arm strength.

Most Gators fans other than me would have expected us to be 3-2 or at best 4-1 at this point so let's stay positive. There is work to do, coaches get paid big money to make changes and win games. I am still optimistic that they will get it done. Go Gators! 11-1 is still possible.
After watching our DBs for 5 games, IMO on every passing down we should just bring the house and force the QB to get rid of the ball earlier than planned. That is better than watching him sit in the pocket all day and throw to a open receiver.
Not to beat a dead horse or to make excuses. Lagway had talent. He was injured most of his time at UF. I believe he was lazy to some extent and not the leader or competitor a QB needs to be. And the biggest reason for his failure at UF was that he was poorly coached!

I don't believe any of us thought Philo was a QB that could just go out on his own and win football games. He is a game manager, knows the system, usually gets us into the right formation and play then typically gets the ball to the right player. There is not a better QB at this point on the team, after all is said and done, Jones and Griffin may have higher ceilings but Philo is the best we have right now. If he wasn't, I am certain that he wouldn't be playing.
1990 Spurriers first year. Upsets Alabama and gets blown out 45-3 by UT in Knox. shite happens. It’s what you do next that matters.
Some flaws were exposed. To say the obvious. Bounceback needed next week. Go Gators.
Bottom line Mizzou is not as good as Ole Miss or probably not Auburn. Simmons isn’t as good as Chambis or he would still be at Ole Miss. if the Gators play their game, minimize penalties and turnovers and we should win. Go Gators.

Gator fans??? The Football team is 4-0 ranked #8 in the AP after years of suckage. The basketball team is projected #1 in the nation and the best we can do it fight among ourselves. Enjoy the ride. Go Gators.
FYI, I am more of a Sea World Gator myself.
