Quote:Del Rio > Appleby

 

Now... if that means much... IDK.

 

But I'll be glad to have him back myself.

 

It means a lot to the Gators, not so much to ignorant fans who have only seen them play in 2-3 games and think they know more than the coaches.

 

Of course, the only people who matter are the coaches who watch Luke and Austin at practice and their teammates, especially on offense. Nobody else can possibly know more about each QB's abilities, football intelligence, and intangibles. So as fans we should not pretend to know more than what can been seen and heard during games. That is why I kept asking Tyler why he rushes to judgement about Luke not being a good QB after less than four games in a Gators uniform.

 

Thirteen points at Vanderbilt tells me one thing: Florida needs Luke back. We always blow out the Commodores. The fewest points we scored with #14 throwing the ball was 24. Obviously LSU is much better this year than Vanderbilt, so there is no doubt in my mind we would lose with any other QB on the roster. That does not mean LDR is good enough to win games for us with his arm, of course. What it does mean is if we get him back this week, we have a much better chance of pulling off an upset than if Appleby needs to start again.
