There are 6 winnable games on the schedule. If not, why play the games?

I
Expect the Gators to win all 6, until proven wrong.

FSU just dismissed a 5 star recruit of theirs for conduct detrimental to the team and Auburn has suspended Atkinson this week for his conduct. I hope we don't have any issues like that going on.

he likely isn’t the answer either but Philo clearly sucks.

Put jones in for a bit, see how he does and put Philo back in if he’s worse

I've said it since they announced him. Reddit destroyed me when I said and they still downvote me because I'm hurting their precious QB feelings.

You can't punish teams if you don't have the talent to throw the ball downfield. This is literally Graham Mertz 2.0. This is why I miss Lagway. Atleast defenses knew this guy will throw it deep if you play 1 on 1 against our WRs. So they played 2 deep zone defense. With zero coaching, Lagway unfortunately threw a bunch of INTs.

GNFP very legit for those that want in depth analysis.

Terrible combo. But i expect O-line to improve and if not the reinforcements are coming.

Both are cooked. Leave the program. Start Griffin in the bowl game.

You honestly think Jones will do anything with the pass blocking like that if our running game is kept in check? Good luck with that. I know he was a freshman last season but Jones has never shown anything to suggest he would excel in that situation. He is prone to bad stuff when under pressure. Look at the KY game where he always threw short of the sticks on 3rd down and tried to give the ball away a couple of times but KY declined to take it when the ball was given to them. He also showed that on a play earlier in the season and fumbled in our spring game without being touched. His claim to fame so far is a couple of long passes to receivers with 5 yards of clearance on 3rd string DBs in a spring game. We don't have a Trask on the bench to get this team wins it normally wouldn't get as long as there is no running game and the pass blocking is this bad. If we don't turn this train wreck around against TX I do hope he starts against GA though just in case he is shockingly a superstar in the making.

Both suck and both will be forced to transfer. Griffin should start in the bowl game. Bring in a respectable down the field passer from the portal for Griffin to compete with for the starting job. Hoover would have been amazing on this team. But sadly Indiana is the better football program with competent admin support than this trash program.

I agree Jones or Philo aren't QBs that can help a team out in our condition the last 2 games. Don't care if they put Jones in there for GA or 2nd half of TX if we play the same against TX. If our running game doesn't get going Simmons is going to literally destroy Ugorji this TX game on clear passing downs. Might look like the SC game if it plays out that way again. Our line will determine that I guess.
