Quote:I am still waiting for you to explain why a freshman who never played in college would be any better than LDR. Austin Appleby has played over nine quarters as a Gator and played a lot at Purdue before transferring to Florida.

 

Is LDR's knee still bothering him? Could part of the problem be rust after taking two weeks off?

 

1) It'd be nice to have the QB of the future learning in a year where we are not going to win the NC and it's pretty obvious. 

 

2) He's probably as good as he's going to get on the team, he's bounced around teams for awhile now and just overall doesn't look good. Most of his passes are terrible. His passes he made to Cleveland the WR had to adjust so much I am surprised he caught the ball. He made a couple of good passes to players running across the field and hit them in stride but they were very few and far between. 

 

3) I literally believe there is no chance he is the starter come spring training next year. I fully believe they are just red shirting both freshman QB's to not waste a year of eligibility but as I said in point #1 it'd still be nice to have someone getting experience on the field so come next year they're already somewhat used to everything and we can hopefully make a run.
