Pearsall was the best WR on the team last year and he will be the best WR on the team this year.
Gators to Hire Ron Roberts as LB Coach, Co-Defensive Coordinator ?
- Thread starter Jeff from Jax
- Start date
Now let's take a look at the advanced stats, those tell the true story. Any 2nd grader can look at basic numbers, but you need higher intellect to dissect the data. Let's use your 9 games. Shorter was targeted 52 times and had 29 receptions and 5 drops. Henderson was targeted 49 times and led the teams in drops with 9. Ricky was targeted just 39 times and only had 1 drop. He spent most of the time running wide open by AR did not see the field well. As I said, statistically he was our best and most efficient WR. For all pass catchers actually Zip was the best, but he's a TE. Keep your pie.
Yep if you go by being wide open and not targeted Pearsall was easily the best receiver.
Wardell Mack to UF!! Yet another huge pick up by the staff.
Everyone has an opinion on what BEST means, and they are welcome to them...
Ricky, Ricky, he's our man,,,
If he can't do it, nobody can...
Moving right along....

This officially an elite class imo from top to bottom - still have 3ish spots if the right guys come available.
Okay, it's time for everyone to get behind Mertz,,,, unless and until he screws the pooch anyway.... GooooooooooooooGATORS!
Miller's injury seemingly puts Brown at #2.
Hope he's not needed, but still hope he gets some playing time so he's ready if he is ever needed...

Nick, I'm a bit of a realist, at least on this subject,
it is,,., what it is.... .
Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
Anybody hear from @Jeff from Jax? He would've edited the thread title the second Wardell Mack committed.
Sounded like Brown was winning the #2 spot before Miller injury. Hope I am wrong, but I think Brown is going to get his shot much sooner than later....
From most reports, Brown was becoming the #2 guy anyhow.
Any truth to the rumors Miller is in the doghouse because he isnt too happy about not being the starter. People might be just assuming that though. I do wonder how injured he really is.
Mods over at 247 - and i like them a lot because they usually don't gaslight imo - say he has a small arm ailment and is just doing stretches etc. They don't suggest it's anything other than precautionary.
They don't indicate anything is wrong from a culture standpoint either.
But what you say rings true imo - I mean, Miller came in with a lot of potential and has pretty much been terrible. It wouldn't be the first time a staff covered for a kid that was struggling, who might be on the way out. Dunno - pure conjecture though.
RB Cam Carroll is going to miss the whole season with his leg injury.
Yep. Here's the article: https://247sports.com/college/flori...-ending-injury-gators-billy-napier-214547207/
That is strange @Jeff from Jax hasn't been around for a while. I hope everything is alright with him.
247 reported that Miller has some type of tendonitis - that's at least the word. He was going to be QB3 regardless from most talk thru camp.
Talk about things getting possibly crazy walk-on QB Micah Leon was supposedly getting quite a few 2nd team reps with Miller not at practice. Napier said he played really well in the scrimmage.

Hopefully the 2 main backs can stay relatively healthy as they are a nice one two punch.

Brown better be on his toes as Napier couldn't stop talking Leon up after the final scrimmage.
Mertz, Brown, whomever else,,,,, no matter really at this point....
Brown's best move might still be either baseball, or a football xfer outta here?
Brown may be one play away from being the QB now.
Won't matter who is QB if the O-line doesn't come together and play well. If they do, we could surprise people because I think the defense will be much better.
Yeah, and he might get dropped to #4 behind both Miller and Leon.
I'm a bit short on faith in the process right now.... 🙄

Florida is once again dealing with quarterback injuries, but a surprising member of the position room is stepping up during fall camp.
Some high praise from Napier. He must be like 25 years old if he is 7 years removed from high school. It looks like he was never given much playing time to show what he has at his other stops. It wouldn't surprise me if either Brown or him look better than Miller if they get a shot to play this season. Some people think if we lose Mertz during the season though things could really go bad as in worse than 6-6 bad.
If we lose our whole team it could get dicey as well but I think our running game could maybe still keep it close in most games.
I think the DL improves this year - depth is there now. LBs will be slightly better but may look a lot better based on the DL play. Gotta hope the DBs are at least in the right spots under Raymond's 2nd year in the system. Evein if the DB play isn't elite you have to think we look better.
lol I'm getting hyped for the D though we gotta see it first of course.
Edit: the D's phase of the game I'm hoping for the most improvement and am anxious to see is the Safety-LB passing game. It's been so bad for like ever lol - if this part of the D gets it going it should be a really solid, if not elite.

Interesting as Utah fans were on their site saying not to be worried about our passing attack because only one WR had more than 10 catches last season.
