Graham Mertz mindset. Time to move on after this season. Hopefully Sumrall recognizes it and isn't stubborn like Napier. When there are year 1 or 2 guys who can do it all and have NFL futures over your "system" year 3 guy, it's a big problem. We need a future NFL talent. Not this average college kid.

Since you have been at practice every day evaluating the QBs, which one do you feel gives us a better chance to win than Philo? I trust the coaches to make that call.

The room is weak and the competition was media fluff. The last legitimate competition we've had was probably Franks vs Trask.

Nah we're sticking with him. He's buster's guy until this season ends. Next season is a different story.

I get the hate for Napier. But Sumrall did take this job before the transfer portal opened. Maybe it was a NIL issue and we couldn't build this roster. Hoping it's a different story in december

I have come around to the hire.

He seems like he gives a shite. I know it is odd but it means something. Mullen and Napier never looked like they cared.

The fact he was so mad after the game actually is a good thing to me.

Muschamp was the same way. Gotta recruit to be a CFP contending team.

We got blown out at home. We responded horribly. Was hoping we were going to respond well. Will take more time to fix.

QB suck arse. Both should transfer after the season. Sumrall fricked up letting Lagway go. You let Buster become the head coach of the offense and let him bring his sorry arse QB, his below average WR. Both butt buddies at their bullshite christian crappy arse georgia high school. And you design your passing offense with a slow arse TE who can't catch. All GT players. ACC players suck.

Every defense we face just has to stop Baugh. Game over. Our OL is weak.

Defensively, all these guys need to leave. No one is playing with any effort.

It was great to be back for 4 games. Unfortunately 4 games is about all it took for SEC Defenses to realize you stop the run and a system QB becomes less average then he already is
A recipe of disaster for Sumrall and Falukner

This Defense is just bad!!!!

FIRE BRAD WHITE!!!! IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!

Only a real top mobile QB could do anything with this team in the SEC. Someone like the Bama, Miss State or Ole Miss QB. Most of the other SEC QBs would 100% get destroyed if they were made the QB of the Gators right now I bet.

The roster is severely flawed despite the skill position players being elite.

We’re seeing the flaws in real time.

Yea it is very obvious on how to stop us..stack the box to stop the run game. That is it.

Sumrall didn’t realize he needed to recruit 40-50 kids in the portal. Instead, he took the bait on a Napier built team. Big mistake.

Perhaps

However I think Gary Condon and the boosters wouldn’t pony up enough to recruit that many portal players

Mobile QBs are always the way to go. That's why bama went with Keelon over Mack.

Out of all the available transfer QBs, we went with the OC's guy

I don't think we were ever going to pay for a big budget transfer QB for the 26 season. Curious to see what happens for 27 with how many issues we appear to have. We spend some money but not as much as about 5 of the SEC schools do. I just hope Faulkners success wasn't mostly just because of having a running QB like Haynes King. I see he was OC one year at Southern Miss in 2019 and left to be a QB coach in 2020 probably knowing his head coach wasn't going to be around in 2020 as he resigned after their first game the next season.
