Miller was a strong #2 at the beginning of the season until he hurt his thumb on throwing hand ala Drew Brees/ Dak Prescott. He needed surgury and the soonest he could be back was 4/5 weeks later.
A good QB can make mediocre receivers look awfully good. A bad QB can make great receivers look terrible. So.. I don't agree with you. If we don't have a QB, receivers barely matter.
That's a lot of %! If, in fact, he's declaring it would already be very unlikely that he would play. Because, that's how the game goes now. Let's say 90% of the time a declared QB plays the bowl game. Now, suddenly we have a lot of unfortunate press surrounding the program and the position itself. It has nothing to do with AR, but this game already does very little for him if he's declaring. So, with which part do you disagree by 1000%?
Of all the variables to consider, I doubt the Kitna situation has any impact on Richardson's decision to enter the draft. He has been advised by folks like Denny Thompson for quite some time to work on certain things that NFL scouts look for, and AR hit those marks believe it or not.
According to the roster on the floridagators.com, Miller was a freshman in 2020 (1 TD on 21-yard rush), redshirt freshman in 2021 (7/14, 101 yards), and still redshirt freshman in 2022 (no stats).
I remember that game like it was.... 1989. But I do remember the heartbreaking ending. Good Lord Florida had a defense!
You wrote: "I already thought it was unlikely. With the Kitna stuff coming down that's scrutiny he probably doesn't want associated with his name / brand. I think he's going to cut ties pretty severely for a bit." You just had a WAG that AR "probably doesn't want associated with his name/brand." This is a gainesville kid who grew up a gator. It's just total conjecture by you about any "association " with Kitna. Reasonable people would not think that. Are you seeing any other or the 80 plus gators doing that? No. Cutting ties pretty 'severely ' ? For months and weeks folks are saying he is going pro to the NFL. Cutting ties to me says no more ties to UF - I strongly disagree with that notion of yours. No way. Cutting ties to me (and the guy next to me on the plane) means disassociating yourself from the Gators- he does that BECAUSE of Kitna?. No way So I disagree
He shouldn’t play. Risk injury for the Gasparilla bowl or whatever we are playing in? That’s a goofball decision.
i remember us having seven qb’s one year, a couple were highly rated, between injuries and some not being able to produce, it finally went to the lowest rated qb we had, seventh string, I think was a walk-on. Well this qb went on to shatter passing records at the time and making us a better team. You might have guessed who it is, none other than the Throwing Mayoan, Kerwin Bell. So don’t get down on any backups until they have their time under the lights! Anthony never once led a receiver on sideline or backs out of the backfield passes. Something I would wager any of our backups could do, one of our CBN staples play. This hurt the offensive consistency all year. Kyle Trask had accuracy, poise and delivered to the to the right person at the highest rate I have seen a qb under center at Florida. So, all of our scholarship qb’s were stars at former schools. None of them the runner Anthony is, but are highly rated passers. We will be alright. Will we win our bowl game, who knows who we will play, and with Anthony we only won half our games. With our OL, I believe whoever gets a chance will do well.
