    Sightly disagree with that statement. Talent is great, but scheme and coaching can overcome a deficit in talent. Our scheme meshed with our talent gives the results we see right now.

    The best comparison I can give is Meyer in 2005. He modified his offense halfway through the season to fit the players he had on hand, and then went to his desired scheme once he had the necessary players on hand.

    What QB would be sitting? Rashada isn't going to play much as a true freshman.

    So you are talking Miller? Rashada should beat him out as a Sophomore anyways.

    Patience? I’m more for much better recruiting, Players AND coaches.

    Much like calling slow developing plays with a struggling OL and slow receivers. But I hate sweeps and screens too, so get off my lawn!

    A muscle bound dude should be faster than a guy with a sprinter's body? I'm just assuming for a joke :)

    How about a turn over and then we score a TD

    So, do we even have a backup QB, asking for a friend? Do we have an extra dentist on the team?

    Not sure what some of you expect- kid has not played the entire year and this is his first start- I think our back up is a walk on

    It’s a noble creature. If I have to lose, I’d rather lose to a beaver than anything else

    The first part is true. We peaked in 2008. The second part I don’t believe at all

    Did you even watch any of our past seasons of Gator football? Lol j/k. We had fast linebackers back in the day.

    Might beat him out as a freshman. Not impressed with Miller so far. Has thrown some questionable balls and seems to lack pocket awareness.

    May the best QB win the competition regardless of age. Maybe we need a 25yr old portal guy, seems to work for TN and UGA.

    You’re not making sense. Nobody is talking about “tanking” a year. But focusing on “competition” at quarterback when we have a 5* 2023 and a 5* 2024 committed is silly when we so badly need talent at a plethora of other positions.

    Are you watching the same game I am?

    Yeah no way Jelani Jenkins or Jevon Kearse didn’t score on that one.

    He's doing alright. It's more about the lack of a running game and the play calling. Also, dropped passes.
