    He made other general comments beyond just S & C, garnettgold.

    I think AR needs to focus on earning his pay and succeeding on the field.

    A former Gator who put on pads and proudly donned orange and blue has the right to make whatever comments on a coaching staff he played for. Certain fans want to censor AR and Steve Spurrier when they give their opinions on Gator football, when they have every right to comment on it.

    You would assume wrong... I never said anything like that, nor did I even come close to hinting anything like that.

    I don't dislike him... he was always a Mullen recruit, and he and the Gators parted on good terms. So, he's now a Colt, and now he can make them some memories to think about.

    I would not be surprised if there is some merit to his feelings. But OTOH, someone send him the INT clips from his final Kentucky game. When you're that bad, don't throw stones.

    Napier obviously needs to hire a dance coach, I don’t understand why he hasn’t done this already. Clearly he is in over his head, how are we going to compete with Georgia when our players can’t dance without hurting themselves?

    What does strength and conditioning have to do with getting the concussion against uga and would he have preferred to not play against them especially after almost pulling out the comeback against lsu the game before?

    also wasn’t there some speculation as to how bad his hamstrings were, especially with him doing flips running out of the tunnel

    not trying to bash but seems to be some revisionist history

    Consider this: AR may not be completely spot on with his criticisms, but... good coaching staffs don't get told on like this by NFL players who played for them at college. A good coaching staff has the respect of their best players moving forward and don't have to worry about a story like this coming out. AR only confirms what many of us already knew, the dysfunction is rife within the coaching staff at UF. His specific critiques may miss the mark, but just the fact that he felt compelled to deliver these remarks speaks volumes about our current coaching situation.

    I said my piece and I said what I had to say... but I have no ill feeling towards him. I might even catch his highlights on the web now and again.

    All is right in the world. We have THE post to make it so.

    He’s stayed hurt so far and he can only cast blame for so long. Most guys that play for many years do it under any staff they encounter.

    Not to take it too far because I don't like those kind of quotes, it is just that I am not sure he is going to last longer than this year in the NFL. His skills do not translate into an NFL caliber QB. He WILL get hurt or he is going to go down throwing INTs or getting sacked.

    Now, this isn't his fault per se, just that he was given a flier at WAY too high of a place by the Colt's GM. This is all on them.

    He needs to not take the bait from those journalists who want something to start a buzz.

    Certainly wasn’t on him I guess. Casting blame is weak even when it’s true.

    Artificial turf should be banned anyway. There’s not a damn thing you can put on top of concrete that makes it football suitable.

    It’s been discussed in other threads already. It falls flat when the guy behind him lights it up and doesn’t get hurt dancing in hotels.

    And I am really surprised that such a bad rug exists in the NFL for god's sake. They have plenty of money to replace it.

    Spurrier got rid of our rug on day one.

    He will have plenty of time to bash coaches when he inevitably gets injured again. The over is 6 games.

    He must have crummy coaches in the NFL too because he has been constantly injured there as well.
