    I think he's a good QB. Would be our QB2 immediately and give Lagway some competition.

    Wonder if his brother goes with him. He's a stud TE.

    FSU might be a likely destination because of his Dad.

    I think we should go...he is a QB with a lot of moxie and will immediately improve the QB room. Bring his brother as well....

    Definitely looking to add another one. Did you see our backups at QB for the FSU game? Pretty sure they were both walk-ons.

    I would think Miller’s days at UF are done, so that leaves us with Mertz, Lagway, and Brown. We need one more.

    low key I was thinking that too. Would love for us to snatch a raw prospect that we can stash and develop

    He could have a spectacular year if he stays one more year here.

    Not sure why he wouldn’t. Lot of QBs coming out this year. Would also be great for us to go from senior mertz to RS FR lagway

    Probably someone with a lot of experience that can start if Mertz gets hurt again.

    I would take Max Johnson if for no other reason than to keep him from FSU.

    No. I meant he would be QB2 over Lagway...next year anyway.

    It’s strange that the schools don’t give their players the same percentage that the nfl does. Schools keep 100% and then make the fans pay the payroll on top of tickets and the tv deals that we fund also.

    Nah they just give them free education, food, amazing facilities, coaches, nutritional/workout plans etc and the best 4 years of their lives…on top of an audition for the NFL if they’re good enough. CFB was better back then and nobody disagreees

    lol what? Mertz is clearly QB1 with lagway as back up and being worked into certain packages

    If m
    eetz were to go down early in the year, I could see another experienced qb starting and Lagway continuing his package role instead of being forced to start.

    Johnson has 2 years in college already and is a good QB. I'm not saying DJ may not eventually pass him. But on day one, he'd be QB2.
