Brown won’t have the same kind of results because he’ll have Napier coaching him instead of Mullen. Reminder that Napier last year head a qb that currently leads the NFL in explosive plays per play (throws of 20+ yards; runs of 12+ yards), and we lost to Vandy with him.
He shouldnt lose his job cause he's not the problem. He has played just as well as I expected and I'm perfectly fine with his performance. Call him a game manager if you want but he runs the offense he is told. He needs help from the offensive line plus the coach.
Yeah running different plays week to week… what is this the Cold War?

Dick move by Stoops.
Our best chance at winning will be home against Arky and believe it or not, the fsu game. That is a rivalry game, and it will be played at home. Nolies are a tad overrated too. But there is a good chance we don't win another game.
UF commit Amir Jackson witnessed pure entertainment while in attendance at the scUM-GT game.
Don't you mean that the Gator's 50+ staff, along with the NIL money, is likely to get them at least a decent class???
Some day you will get over the well justified firing of your beloved Cousin Eddie. In the meantime, please enjoy watching him on your beloved network, ESPN.
I doubt that on any day, you will tire of blaming yesterday's others, for what is going on today. And I watch Gator sports on SEC-N & ESPN because that's were they are, but I watch with the sound off most of the tines. I don't watch the pre-game shows on either, so I have no idea about what Tebow, Dan, or anyone else is saying....

Offensive line is horrendous. After Vandy we moved up to 96th in pass blocking. Still well under 3 seconds on average. Play calling was bad last year and again this year, but part of the lack of deep shots is the lack of time to get pass off. Mertz is offensive MVP thus far, but if the line doesn't improve won't matter who's behind center.
That makes little sense to me.
Mertz has played much better than I thought he would. He's shown some mobility, while being very accurate with the passes he's called on to throw. The line simply can't protect well enough for many deep or even intermediate passes to develop. Maybe Brown can run around a little bit better, but what do we know about his decision-making and accuracy on the move? It would seem that practices and scrimmages must have shown Mertz to be the better overall leader and player. My belief is that Mertz simply gives us a better chance to win. Others may disagree and that's fine. But Mertz is a plus to the offense from what I've seen. It all starts and ends with the line play, IMO.
Really looking forward to having Lagway on the team. Seems to have tons of talent as well as leadership qualities.
I saw nobody at the beginning of the season supporting Mertz. We all thought he was going to be a train wreck. Including me. I figured he would have been benched by now. But he has been way better than anyone anticipated. And you are spot on, it is pretty clear he gives us the best chance to win. As knowledgeable football fans recognize, offensive line, predictable and simple play calling, have been bigger issues. Hopeful we can find 2 more wins.
Me too ocala, but then I thought the same when Billy flipped Brown to UF....
I stopped doing it, but has anyone else kept up with Mertz's season sack totals???
I believe he gave up 2 two sacks to Candy, plus an intentional grounding call that would have been a 3rd sack,,, and that's to freakin' Candy....
They talk about his 80% and only 2 intercxeptions, but notice that they avoid the sack issue, the Yds/Att, and the Pts/Gm...
