AR despite being last or close to it in every statistical category in the SEC lit up your trash Defense for 450 yards, you may wanna sit this one out

Noone really knows what he'll be, but he will step onto the field in 12 days with the best receiver weapons he's ever had.
We'll see how he adjusts

The most glaring issue looks like Napier’s trying to be his own QB coach. And he doesn’t have the reputation of being a really good QB coach.
That’s really asking a lot of a new coach, to be a head coach at a P5 for the 1st time AND turn around a weak position as important as QB.
Heupel brought in Joey Halzle to fill that role, after they worked together a good bit. Hooker and Milton got the coaching they needed to function at a high level in the system. And I would question if that’s the case at Florida today.

Everyone says this but was the offense around him any good? Like the good OL and running game Wisc is known for when they're good. Fla does have 2 good returning RB's and 3/5 OL I'm pretty confident in.
Did he have anybody to throw to? Gators return Pearsall and add
3 burners at WR. Freshmen but they look like real deal playmakers.
Mizell, Wilson, and Jean are exactly what was missing last yr. Mullen recruited the shittiest bunch of pass catchers in my 25 years of watching weekly.

His QB at UL is the schools all time leading passer

Maybe Mertz’s mom?

I think he’ll be serviceable. I’m more concerned about our defense.

Went #4 strictly off measurables and “potential.” He definitely didn’t get drafted high due to performance. Don’t use the NFL front office arrogance to gaslight Florida fans and act like they couldn’t win with a good QB. He fricking sucked at Florida
AR was a huge part of why they lost so many games.

The defense was horrible no denying that. Hoping Austin Armstrong can start to change that.
No reasonable Fla fan is expecting more than 7 wins maybe. We're shooting for next year.
Even though Mullen was fired for lazy recruiting nobody could of known how bad it really was.
97% of yall laughed till the day Richardson was drafted saying he was trash and always will be even though he had like 13 starts 2 of them against UGA's defense. He was awful against Kentucky though.

Spurrier would’ve benched AR

Jack Miller i think really is shite.
Max Brown in year 2 might be alright if he has to step up
But they're just a bridge to Lagway. He checks all the boxes to potentially be a legit generational talent/leader.

Nah. But he wasn't winning games, other than Utah

I'd be please to see Mertz do well in every game but LSU just to get the dogs off of billy.

Hit 60% at Wisc throwing to guys who went undrafted, I think he'll turn his career around this season

Game manager and that's fine. Austin Appleby type guy. We have a great line and great backs, but QB will be meh and WRs will be young.
People who think Mertz is a game manager have not watched him play. He may not have been good at Wisconsin, but he's not a game manager. He is a bad decision maker when pressured and has a strong arm and is most effective throwing the ball deep. He makes risky throws because he thinks he can make every throw.
He's a gun slinger who has not performed well. He isn't going to become a game manager

I'm not expecting much but Daniels for LSU and Hooker for Tenn managed to do a complete 180.
I expect him to do much better than his previous 2 years. I would also hammer the over on 5 1/2. I think 8 wins is doable, and 7 is a lock.

Unfortunately, no. Hope I’m wrong.

Any chance the guy's first name is Fred?
