    I’ll say it. He wasn’t holding back. If anything the guy played injured

    If he wasn't holding back then he played tentative.

    I get what you’re saying but I’d pick Bryce Young over AR anyways because he was a better QB on film

    Sort of the same thing but I believe Clowney sat out at least half the season at USCe. I’d say that was probably the first.

    Well make sure you draft him to a team that can coach him to be about 5 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier. ;)

    Young is small, not the arm of AR, and doesn’t have as good of wheels. Yet he will be there if he is physically able and he does the little things pretty damn well. And….. I like his heart.

    Yes but the reference wasn’t about his performance as a QB, but in reference to the draft.

    I think they’re complete dumbasses. I think AR will be terrible.

    There you go...strong stance...I hope you're wrong.
    I'd rather see him go to the Panthers or Falcons.
    I'll go out on a limb and say either of those teams, as well as the Colts or Commanders, I think he plays early and is the starter by the end of the year.
    Oh, and put me in the column that roots for all former Gators.

    He definitely helped us get to 6. These that Point out his shortcomings should remember it’s his first year as a starter and he did not have lots of great talent to to throw to. Screens were never called and there was no emphasis on the tight ends making it much easier for the defense

    You and I both. I still can’t get over all of those that are so disparaging to Anthony. If we ask a question about the coach or complain about a call we get dislikes but then others are allowed to disparage 20 year-old kids. Anthony is an excellent young man that represents us in a very classy way.

    He’s a great kid and we hope he does well but if you ask for the truth you get it.

    I saw 2 mocks with the Panthers picking AR at #9.
    I’m hoping for a panther win today so they move later in the draft so AR will be gone by the time they pick.
    It would be bad for both parties if CAR picks him

    Where do you think would be the best landing spot for him. I think it would be best for him to go somewhere like Trask did where he can not be pushed into action early. Using his legs to be successful will shorten his career exponentially. The problem I see with that is a team with a greater need is the team that will use a first round pick. Second or third round would give him the time needed but I doubt he lasts till then. Someone desperate will pick him and he will be taking snaps more than likely in year two.
