    AR’s issues are mostly between his ears.

    They are all between his ears. He always played WR and only played QB in high school because they didn't have anyone else and he didn't have the natural instincts for the position; and it has shown, both at UF and Indy.

    Unless we somehow become bowl eligible, and even then, I seriously doubt he comes back this season.

    I guess he will have to do more of those jump passes without planting.

    A cast on a hamstring injury?

    I saw a some information that it was a brace instead of a cast.

    Of course it wasn't a cast. Before I even saw the pictures that showed him wearing a sleeve, I knew it wouldn't be a cast.

    Surprised the question hasn’t been raised here (I’m seeing it on X) but why were we slipping and Georgia wasn’t ?

    The hamstring isn't a tendon. It can tear, but rupture is mostly associated with a tendon. I've had both. A tendon rupture is more debilitating and requires surgery. A tear is also debilitating, but depending on the severity can heal without surgical intervention. It is not a quick process, however. I was on crutches for 2 weeks and limited for a few months. Even a year later, it would be sore after heavy exercise.

    Agreed. The tear I had was much more painful than the quad tendon I ruptured. Didn't require surgery though, so that was a plus.

    Except we play on Saturdays so we can leave the field torn up for the Jags the next day.

    Because they have a better equipment manager?

    It has been elsewhere. Although the players have finally bought into that they can win according to CBN, the equipment managers in charge of proper cleats for field conditions have not. That may work itself out in the next year or two.

    If we can somehow make it to a bowl game, I’d like to see DJ play.

    Shut him down for the year. Not a risk worth taking... Also, screw it.. lets go wildcat the rest of the year.
