Complete BS. No one cares about color. Just put the best man on the field

Philo is backup arm talent at best. Has no business being a starter at a big-name SEC school.

We seem to have a complete 180 ideology. They want to start faizon brandon so fricking bad they can't stand it. Granted he's a true freshman, he kinda sucks right now and mcentire is clearly the best option.

Kirby is going to get revenge for the Half a Hundred game when he was a Freshman, which was also the last time this game was played in the state.

Jones has a stronger arm, and he's much faster, better runner.

So, let's start 2nd string Ga.Tech QB reject. With his amazing noodle arm, without his favorite dump off wr Bailey Stockton.


Jones was like 2 for 11 on passes over 10 yards and underthrew a walk in touchdown to Singleton

Against Texas I would categorize it this way: Its closer to the truth that we won in spite of Jones than it is that we won because of him.

Nobody argues over which mediocre qb is better more than Florida fans.

The truth is neither are difference-makers and it probably doesn’t matter who starts. How the o-line and defense play will decide how the game goes.

Both guys are young. Philo isn't any worse than Gunner Stockton was at this point in his career in terms of game experience. Tramell is TBD ultimately, too.

The thing that is irritating to me is people who are super confident Tramell is the clear answer when there is really no data point anyone has where they should be that confident.

I just trust the staff mostly. Either Tramell is too hurt to be himself or they just think Philo is better. Until the staff gives me a reason not to trust them, I'll roll with what they decide. I would have been skeptical about starting Tramell for reasons I've laid out in here, but I would support it.

Exactly, Makes no sense unless Jones is banged up.

Are you guys that sold on Jones? Are you just that down in Philo?


It’s really that Jones is more dual threat and our OL is horrible. He had several plays vs Texas where he extended plays with his legs where Philo would have been sacked.

Teams have figured out they just need to stack the box to stop Baugh and make Philo beat them which he doesn’t have enough time in the pocket to go over the top. Sumrall is going to get a lot of heat if the offense comes out and is terrible and we get blown out (that’d be 3 straight games with Philo).

I think the only way we have success on offense is if Buster can somehow utilize Baugh like Haynes King/Byrum Brown. I know Baugh is a RB and not a qb, but there are potential ways to do it whether it be exchanging RB/QB responsibility in the read option game, using Baugh in wildcat or whatever else Buster can scheme up. Still need the OL to play way better than they have been the last few games.

Philo has a better grasp of the offense and it’s obvious Buster has more faith in him. So I’m good with the decision. Trammel isn’t head and shoulders better or anything.

Either way, we need the defense to force some stops and turnovers and that’s a lot harder to see than our offense playing well.

Playing the 2nd string QB usually helps.

May have a short hook. I don't think they'll hesitate to change if needed.

I was at that game in 95, but in Athens not Atlanta. It was glorious!

No one is saying that but you. Most rational fans are saying is Trammell has a higher ceiling. He's a better athlete. He went on the road and beat Texas. He deserves another start. Philo played like shite his last 2 starts. The entire team did. And now with Philo starting tomorrow, they probably will again.

Now, you're just being a dumb arse.

We won that game because Jones made a few plays, with his legs, and a couple of decent throws. But, UF mainly won because Arch Manning is arse. Kind of like most of your opinions.

Gonna victory lap against your own team if we lose a game where we are a 10 point underdog?
