I dont think he was a very good QB but I did appreciate his ethics and dedication to the gators.

Agree, 100%

Re-watching the offense from last year?

Its not quite as bad when the plays start right after the former one ends but it does put our offense into perspective in about a 12 minute clip.

I really try to not bag on the kids as much as possible. Sometimes it is deserved however. AA did his best and is a Gator. Thank you Austin. Good luck.

Well said. Amen.

Right!!!!! couldn't pay me to re-watch that abomination

Nusschump struggled vs. N. Texas and everyone else, and that's putting it mildly.

FIFY.

I like Appleby. He's a backup QB, nothing more, nothing less, and played like one. I wish him all the best, but he wasn't a good quarterback.

We have a whole fleet of those.

Don't blame the players. It is the coaches' job to make sure the best player starts. If there is a deficiency at qb (or any other position) it is up to the coaches to fix it. When a player wears the Orange and Blue and gives it his all to represent my University, I will not disparage him. We are all Gators, even the players. Sometimes I think many fans forget that.

Agree on this one. Saying a player is not very good isn't awful or wrong. If a player screws up off the field I think that opens them up to commentary.

However, coaches making millions are absolutely open to the harshest of criticisms.

zackly

I think it is fair to categorize AA and LDR as back ups. There's nothing

This is why you got the dislikes and Ox didn't.
"Appleby was schit. LDR is schit. Disliking my posts for stating what should be obvious to anyone with a brain says a lot about your allegiances "

and I stand by it.

Appleby is not a good QB. LDR is not a good QB.
It stands to reason that anyone who thinks either are good QBs has other reasons for stating as much, because literally anyone can see that neither is very good leading the team.

If anyone is taking my posts in this thread as anything personal about the player (except LDR, he really is a douchebag) and not just about their ability to QB, well I can't help them for projecting their own opinions into something I posted.

They are both not very good QBs....that shouldn't have to be spelled out to anyone on this board.

The "douchebag" is the guy that called the players "schit"... not the ones calling you out and giving you dislikes for it.

Uhhgain...their QB play is schit, both of them...sorry your sensitive nancy ass got offended by that. There will be better days ahead for you little girl.

I'm not offended. I just think it takes a douchebag to call college kids names based on their play. Coaches are paid well and are fair game.
Keep on showing those true colors.

funny, I always see you taking donks side when he calls players things like "trash".

I guess you pick and choose when you want to be a hypocrite. ;)

Again though, talking about a players on field play is vastly different than talking about them personally.
Appleby is not a good QB....but if you think he is great, well, you are allowed to be misinformed if you want to

I agree and it is also coaches responsibility to put players into situations where they can have success, being stubborn and insisting on coaches being more important than players is another issue we seem to have.
