Napier’s Big Decision

Stop. DJ may end up being good enough to play in the NFL but he is not "NFL ready" right now.

 

See the quote. A poster said DJ is NFL ready? Awesome!

 

Wow

 

Wow

 

I remember my first beer, in Hawaii!
Many followed. Including many other wonderful things!

 

I'm all about it Rick, and frankly I'm not so sure it's an either or with these two.
DJ is a tank, can run, can throw on the run, so why wouldn't coach have specific packages for DJ, utilizing his particular talents, and creating more for the other sides defensive coordinator to think about, and prepare for.

To take it a step further, I think the entire fan base would be sorely disappointed if that was not the case!

I see a dynamic duo in the making and that's not just O and B glasses talking.

Looks like UF has greater depth in the running game than expected.

I agree 100% that getting the best possible wide receiver out of the portal should be a very high priority going into the upcoming transfer portal window.

Not to talk too much out of my asz, what, me having not stepped close to campus in months.

Buttt, if my reading of this site, numerous UF themed podcasters, watching the spring game on the tube, and referencing a few other SEC sources,...... gives me a sense of, things are looking up, energy levels are high, and reports from spring camp suggests UF may go into fall feeling good about themselves.

Should the portal be kind, with a few extra pieces, a good S & C summer program, and of course a light or injury free fall, could....

Dare I say it, ......... see a rejuvenated UF squad kick Miami's butt!

That's what I'm looking for. 1 - 0 start, at home, against that program. Historic game in my opinion, for both programs to kick off 24.

So glad we "get it on" in GAINESVILLE.

 

These posts just keep getting dumber

 

This kind of reminds me of Leak/Tebow, no doubt Mertz will start and no doubt there will be a package of plays for DJ. I think the amount of time given to DJ really depends on Mertz. If we slowly march down the field as before with little to show for it, or if seeking more chunk plays but gets intercepted a lot, then I think we will see more of DJ.
Personally, I think Mertz will do just fine.

 

You wanna know how this is handled by pros- look nor further than Manning-Texas. Don’t start a kid in the SEC off of talent and hype

 

That was a long time ago and the college game is completely different.
Pulling your starting QB just to get packages in for your backup just screws both of them up as well as the rhythm of the other players.

DJ can wait his turn and play late if we are up 3 touchdowns. Or if Mertz shits the bed, than you put him in.

 

One only needs to back to Trask’s senior season and the insertion of EJ when Kyle had the offense moving and the chilling effect that move had on offensive continuity.

 

And so it begins. Calgon, take me away ...

 

Is this the new normal? DJ has his own hype man to up his salary by the start of the season? Is this player oriented or agent? Interesting.

 

Seems true but your talking EJ

 

DJ will get packages for situational times like goal line, but mainly to give the opposing defenses a lot more to think about and deal with.

 

Anybody stop to think that maybe DJ and his family knew going in that he was going to be #2 and spend the majority of his 1 year preparing/learning. Me thinks they would have gone another route if he felt he was ready to be #1.
