We all knew it was going to take 2-3 years and yet here we are. We shouldn’t have lost to GA state nor BYU but that ish happens. We don’t suck but we do have a horrible QB. I think JG days of starting here are over.

If it’s Brian moving forward Pruitt, for me at least gets a bit more time. He seems willing to pull defensive guys and give young talent snaps. How can you not be willing to do it at QB the most important position on offense?

When your QB keeps your defense on the field and when your QB CANT complete simple passes then yes, it’s mostly on him.

When your backup cant either, then its a total failure. Staff didnt get JG any better AND wasnt able to prepare a backup...didnt bring in a transfer. It's a full player and staff failure all the damn way around.

CJP just been saving BM, to keep him from getting hurt. Going to role him out against AL...mobile QB is their small kyptonite. 😁

I absolutely empathize with the players. I can’t imagine practicing every day, going to classes you don’t care about, and hitting the weight room all for nothing on Saturdays.

The players better start caring about going to class.

The vast majority of them will never see a dime from the NFL. And a lot them are too damn dumb to have ever been admitted were it not for football.

They should 100% be taking advantage of the valuable opportunity placed in front of them.

Play for the future? Literally the only person in the whole world who is still with JG is Devo.

Difference with being "with JG" and accepting he's simply our best option. Dont see any valid argument for anyone better. If we are going to start JG, then fing be behind him. If staff decides maurer gives us a better shot, fine. Ill be behind him. Not supporting our guys in the damn game makes no sense. We are here for support. Being anti-our starter helps no one.

Dont goat me for being anti-UT players. Eff that.

Well in fairness what they've seen all off season from JG has not been what we've seen in the games. By all accounts JG has been good in practice and the other two haven't been close.

Lights come on and he's been a different player. And thru 4 game he's not gotten better.

I have zero doubt they they're likely just as frustrated and surprised probably at how this has gone as we are.

I guess Pruitt is our there throwing the ball, right? JG can’t hit swing passes, JG can’t hit wide open receivers. You cannot scheme to him. Mauer came in and drove the field, in Gainsville as a true freshman. Again, as a true freshman. He’s ready as he ever will be. The plays was there to be made and we didn’t make them. Simple as that.

The right coach beats Florida today. These players aren’t trash.

There are enough of them who are trash. JG is one of them. The DL is inexperienced but coaching as to come into play. But so much goes to JG. D played pretty well at times after the first drive and until late. Created turnovers but we had 4 and 4 15 yarders which was like two more. I see young guys make plays. I see The DL getting no penetration but if we play clean we compete. JG can’t do that but he can’t make plays either. Let’s see if Mauer can and he may make mistakes but will make some plays as well. Pruitt has got to figure a way to have another top 15 class and play the young guys as much as possible and see if it will be better next year. This year is done.

^^^^^^ This.

Two changes,

Warrior and JG.

That’s all that needs to be done.

Recruting isn’t was it was back in the day. $$$$ is a major role along with playing time and if Pruitt does start playing more freshman and sophomores then it’ll be a major help to him in recruiting.

We got 2 weeks, Bryce & Bituli are back. We’re still fairly healthy.

Just hope the youth starts to get comfortable & confident. The size & strength is there on the LOS. Give Brian the starting job & spend two weeks getting him prepared to be the guy.

Man, just think where we would have been with Schiano?😒🤨

I still support CJP, if nothing else but on his recruits. No more paying coaches to not be here. Let it ride and see what he can do with a full team of To'o To'o types...he seems to understand Pruitt's complex defense. Maybe we just need more talented AND smarter recruits!
