They ran in what, 3 different QB's during a normal game – they ran the option – they tried to be Tebow again – but if you look at Tebows last season – it wasn't impressive. I was able to call about 75% of their plays…..a jumbled offense with no clear direction. bad decision making. Don't blame the college kid – blame the coaches.

Cassel and Brantley are QB's that needed to be and need to be fixed. Brantley and Cassel had a season before (or a few in Cassel's case) Weis. Brady didn't.

John Brantley and pressure don't mix. It doesn't matter what the play calls are going to be or the ratio if our offensive line is the same as it was for ten out of thirteen games last year.

There is quite a bit of this type of speculation {hope?} going on among gator fans. We know we need vast improvement at QB from last season. I appreciate your analysis, and your figures to back it up with regards to Weis's history. Hope Brantley follows suit.
Also, your site continually compiles an amazing number of articles as well your take on some of them. In addition, you then write your own analysis or opinion on lots of topics like last year's conference expansion stuff. Keep up the great work and don't let too many of the insensed idiots who grasp at a humorous dig by you as being all anti-their team.
I would like to know where your upcoming radio appearances will be in advance with a link posted so we could hear you.
Thanks, John. SEC, SEC.

And last year, as a fan of Weis and Romeo Crennel I watched the Cheifs when I could.

The two approaches were very similar.

For this and next year that back is Mike Gillislee. 5' 11" 200 pounds. He's a mix of speed and power. He'll be the "workhorse" until Matt Jones gets here and takes the reins

John,

I look for Florida to look alot like the Chiefs last year. Dexter McCluster will be played by Chris Rainey, Jamaal Charles will be played by Jeff Demps, Thomas Jones will be played by Mike Gillislee, Tony Moeaki will be played by Jordan Reed, and hopefully Quinton Dunbar, Omarius Hines, or Deonte Thompson will play Dwayne Bowe. The Weis QB comparison shouldn't be made Brantley to Brady but rather Brantley to Cassel. Cassel had a down right awful 2009. Bring in Weis and Matt has a very solid year. 2009 Matt threw 16 tds and 16 int's… where have I heard that kind of stat like before??? (Brantley 2010 9 TDS 10 INTS) Matt in 2010 27 TDS 7 INTS.

Thats what I hope and expect from Weis. Brantley won't be handled like Brady. Brady was a nobody lets just get him through the year, NFL QB in 2001. Brantley had a awful year in a awful fitted system but he's still a former Gatorade player of the year. The tools are all there. Time to see what Weis can do with him and the rest of former five star talents.

Demps and Rainey as the speed guys obvisouly. I think Rainey will benefit frim lining up in a deep I formation. it should allow him to take advantage of his vision, especially on delayed draws.
The other 2 guys are Mike Gillislee (who I really like and thought should have had more touches) and Mack Brown. Gillislee is kind of a combo back good combination of speed and size. Mack brown is the biggest of the 4 and was a big deal recruit last year. he red shirted and was banged up in the spring. Most Gator fans are very hopeful he can become the bigger back that UF hasn't had in a long time.

UFs o line needs to solidify. if that happens and they can get steady play from Brantley, there is no reason to think this UF team can't compete for Atlanta deep into the schedule.

I think UF is going to be very run heavy, field position, play defense type of team. UF was a busted assignment against LSU from having 9 wins last year….when everything seemed to be a grease fire. I think UF can get to 9 maybe 10 wins this year if Brantley can manage the game, make plays when he needs to, and ensure that UF is plus 2 in TOs at the end of each game.

Demps and Rainey are great for running reverse's and all that crap Meyer ran, but who is going to tote the rock up the middle for Florida? That's been missing since Fred Taylor and before him Emmitt Smith.

The rather obvious point was this — Brady 2001 wasn't Brady 2010 when he started. Also, even if Brantley's not equal to Brady talent-wise, it's still likely Weis will try to break him in slowly rather than have him tossing 40 passes per game as he did Quinn.
