re: Jacob Eason = Matt Stafford?

There is very little difference between Del Rio and Applby. They're the same kind of quarterback with similar abilities.

Let's not delude ourselves into thinking this is a Grier/Harris situation.

Appleby is a below average quarterback. Del Rio is a below average quarterback, but not quite as far below average as Appleby. The difference between the two is minimal, and arguably negligible.

When it comes to making first downs that's absolutely not the case. Both games where the UF Offense got over 500 yards (first time since 2008) came from Del Rio offenses.

Both times Florida was even close to losing came with Appleby.

Neither of you actually watched the games, neither of you have any idea what you're talking about.

Florida vs. Vandy with Appleby: 15 first downs, 236 yards total.

Florida vs. Mizzou with Del Rio: 22 first downs, 523 yards.

The difference between the two is that Del Rio actually makes you defend the pass. Possession was up by almost ten minutes, third down conversions were up to 50% (25% more than the Vandy game).

No one listens to sense here, though. The team, however, produces much better under Del Rio, and the best its ever produced since 2008.

Period.
