Which is worse? Turning on the radio and listening to how great FSU is? (48 years in Tallahassee) or Having to listen to how bad the Gators are. I’ll pick the Gators. However, how do I listen to Gator sports on my cell phone?

That’s a tough one but I think I hate losing much more than I enjoy winning. Fsu is the same as losing so you see my conundrum.
He lays out the reasons why though, it's not like he just says Napier sucks with no context. The offensive breakdown on YouTube was nauseating to watch.
For sure. I love his approach to looking at things. It's just tough to listen to if you're looking for hope.
Has anyone really examined James's credentials as a football analyst, though? He is a brilliant guy for sure, but isn't he just a fan much like all of us? This isn't to say that the average fan can't recognize crappy play (they can).
I think he does a nice job breaking things down on film. If you watch the video for the offense you can get a pretty sense of why our formations and routes are holding back the offense. He's right, we aren't designing these plays to make things easier on ourselves. We aren't drawing defenders away from key spaces to open things up for preferred routes on third and distance, as an example. I hope that one of the things that comes out of this season is that Napier brings in an offensive mind that will challenge him and force change for the better.
Football is not as complicated as it is made out to be when just looking at an individual play. You can see the routes being run, you can see the flow of the OL and pullers to create holes for the RB, you can see DL holding the LOS and LB's filling gaps, you can tell at minimum man or zone. He constantly reiterates he doesn't know what the play call is so he is making educated guesses, but when Mertz is taking a 3 step drop and you have 1 WR trying to block the CB and a TE trying to run a hitch right next to him it doesn't matter what the exact call was, what was being executed was wrong.
