Am I missing something? Why does everyone seem to think he’s starting Saturday? I’ve heard rumors about JG not playing anymore and etc. but was something released that I missed? Just looking for clarification

There was a Josh Palmer quote from a press conference (I think) that circulated a few days ago... said something like "Bailey is calm. We've got a good game plan for him." People ran with it.

Pruitt has said that one QB has been out due to contact tracing and some media believe that QB is Guarantano. If that's the case, then he hasn't been able to practice at all since the Auburn game...so all game planning has been with Bailey, Maurer, and Shrout. The coaches don't seem to trust Shrout to keep the offense from getting multiple delay of game penalties, let alone avoid throwing it to the other team, so he's likely not going to play. They've also seemed hesitant to play Maurer much this season and gave him a quick hook for Bailey when he stunk it up against Arkansas. It's highly likely that Bailey has been the second team guy for at least the last few weeks. Add to that the comments from Palmer (tweeted by Trey Wallace...not Palmer) and you've got good reason to believe it's Bailey's offense on Saturday unless he's completely ineffective.

all the above.... plus Pruitt said Bailey will be playing this Saturday (just didn't say who starts)

I would put more stock in the fact the VQ guys basically guaranteed it than the Palmer quote.

It was always going to be Bailey at some point. Unless he just falls flat on his face and performs awful he's the face of the program going forward and I think that was the plan all along. Covid pushed the timing back but it was going to happen. If he's lucky enough to get 4 games under his belt, maybe win a couple, god forbid 4 in a row then I think we'll be good at the QB position going into next season with a clear cut QB1.

On what basis of comparison would we know the difference?

Rumor is the entire locker room told JP that if JG played one more game they were all going to transfer.

Of course, I just started this rumor but it's a pretty good rumor as far as rumors go.

Or coming down with the corona, as some have reported (rumor)

I would simply warn that Florida's defense is ranked #1 in the SEC: 2020 Team Statistics

The good news is if Bailey is effective at all he will be doing it against a very good defense. The one thing I am hoping to see is a quick release. JG holds on to the ball too long. With Florida leading the SEC in sacks Bailey better get rid of it quickly.

The only quick release people want now is if JG asks for a transfer. (Ok , that's harsh).

The interceptions scare me the most, they've got 8 already. A good running game will be Bailey's best friend Saturday.

Hearing some girl gave JG Covid19 crotch rot. HB sent her over apparently in an attempted coup.

I heard this rumor somewhere that the whole team would transfer if JG played another game. Can't remember where I heard it.
