... and Player B did what in the SEC?

Player A took multiple losses to Michigan… When is the last time any OSU QB had that on their resume? 

For the record, player A and player B were the only two players to throw for 250+ yards, score a TD, and not throw an INT against UGA this year. The only two. Player B had one guy on offense who would start over a guy on Player A’s offense.

I like you as a poster, but you're a Gator Fan so it's a waste of time to go back and forth with you. It's like 4Corners and Linville with UNC. I say that in a kind way, btw. Not poking you with a stick.

Its almost like they're all flawed prospects, huh?

Indeed they are. One had a bad game versus Michigan so he sucks. The other had no WRs so he doesn't suck. One had stats galore, the other did not. One is faster and bigger and stronger. One throws much better.

So ... what can we, as fans, actually go on?

And as a Gator Fan I have never pushed us to get a Gator. If you look back at the very beginning of the season I made it clear I wanted CJ Stroud, and nothing has changed that. He is my number 1.

You're as likely to fix Stroud's ability to handle pressure as you are to fix Richardson's footwork.

Hence why you stay at 9 and see what happens.

Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson may have done more than any other player to improve his draft stock at the Scouting Combine.

Richardson was outstanding in Indianapolis, and as a result he’s now listed behind Alabama’s Bryce Young in the betting odds to be the first quarterback drafted. Young remains the favorite at -240, but Richardson is now second at +380.

Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud has moved down to third at +430, while Kentucky’s Will Levis is a long shot at +1100. The extreme long shots are Stanford’s Tanner McKee at +7500 and Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker at +7500.

How did Richardson do it? By putting on one of the most impressive performances in Scouting Combine history. His vertical jump was the best ever for a quarterback. His broad jump was also the best ever for a quarterback. At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, with a 40-yard dash time of 4.43 seconds, he would be considered an elite athletic prospect at any position, not just quarterback.

But even more impressive was Richardson’s arm in the throwing drills. Richardson unleashed a series of 60-yard throws that landed in his receivers’ hands. Richardson’s arm talent is remarkable.

Richardson is not a perfect prospect. He completed just 53.8 percent of his passes last season at Florida, and he started just 13 games in his college football career. Completion percentage and games started are two of the college quarterback stats with the best track record for predicting NFL success, and Richardson ranks near the bottom of all the quarterbacks in this year’s draft in both categories.

But some NFL team is going to fall in love with Richardson’s raw talent, make him a first-round pick, and hope to develop him into a franchise starter for years to come.

^^^This.  A great athlete does not necessarily a great QB make.  Is AR a great athlete? 100%, no question.  Is AR a great QB? Not at this time and the bold portion of that report does not bode well for him either.

Isn't this a fun part of the off season?

For those of you who need it: remember, this is the time of ultimate BULLFECES.

Tape tells you what you need to know.  I'm not a QB guru myself, I'll trust the team to make that call.  If the team feels like they can bet their jobs on fixing Richardson and turn him into one of the best, then that's fine with me.

We know that AR looks like a manimal.  Dude looks like a video game cheat code.  But tape is tape.  

We'll see how everything turns out.  But whoever we end up drafting, which I feel like is a near 100% certainty, it will be up to the coaches to figure out who will give us the best chance to be successful.

      Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season

      Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
