... 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.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
