IRT Dexter. (Sorry, Wanted to respond.)I don’t disagree that he often didn’t lay it on the line. But guys like Tebow, even DW didn’t have the projection that he did. Dexter laid it on the line, even playing in the bowl game. But he didn’t come back for his Sr year. Is he not a Gator? Rhetorical, of course, but you see my point. It gets tricky. Again though, you’re not wrong.
Sad.We had those players at one time who loved UF laid it on the line but they didnt have 20+ million dangled in front of them either. I have loved UF since I was a kid. When you come from his side of the tracks and have family (mom and siblings) that love trumps UF love.
If not for the holding call at the end of his last drive, they probably punch it in for a 90 yard TD drive. I think the Colts could live with that out of a rookie QB.I didnt think AR looked too bad. The pic was a rookie throw and mistake but he bounced back from it.
No question. The grand total of zero points he led them to, plus the turnover, must have them on Cloud 9.If not for the holding call at the end of his last drive, they probably punch it in for a 90 yard TD drive. I think the Colts could live with that out of a rookie QB.

They’re all doing backflips.No question. The grand total of zero points he led them to, plus the turnover, must have them on Cloud 9.
My favorite play was when he dropped back and, in a clean pocket, completely missed an open receiver on a 5 yard out. That’s the AR we know and hate.No question. The grand total of zero points he led them to, plus the turnover, must have them on Cloud 9.

I really think coming back to F for another year would have been the best thing for AR's development. He was just so raw last year. I think he is going to get lit up like a christmas tree in the NFL and I don't think he has developed the mental fortitude to take it. Not saying that he would have at UF either, but I think his chances would have been better.I will admit that I'm annoyed at Richardson because he's the most maddening Gator player I personally dealt with in my 33 seasons watching them play. He just seemed at many times afraid, unwilling, or unable to mentally take advantage of the greatest physical tools we may ever see again in our lifetimes.
He has the ability to single-handedly win football games. When he takes a snap, you cannot turn away, because what may come at the next moment could be sensational, mind-blowing. I completely understand why the Colts got smitten, because there's never been a QB with a ceiling as high as his.
Unfortunately, the mental part of the position is far more important than the physical part. You can coach footwork, you cannot coach instinct. I don't really recall a QB that struggled mentally that suddenly had the light come on in the NFL. Instead, it's often schlubs like Brock Purdy, literally taken with the last pick in the draft, that you find out shockingly have the mentality to lead a team and make the right decisions when a huge DL is bearing down. The greatest two QB's in NFL history, Joe Montana and Tom Brady, were 3rd and 6th round picks.
I babble on to say this: my heart goes out to Colts fans. There is going to be a love/hate relationship like nothing they've ever experienced. AR will give them a taste of what he can do with something absolutely spectacular, followed up with a boneheaded play that even a Pop Warner QB wouldn't make. And beyond that, he proved to be an exceedingly poor leader at UF. Does that change in the NFL? If so, it will be the first I've seen it.
Would have been good for him IF the light would have come on. But I doubt it would have. Would also have been bad for UF, I believe.I really think coming back to F for another year would have been the best thing for AR's development. He was just so raw last year.

I’ve pointed this out numerous times. His biggest problem is his completion percentage (53-54%). That has been the same all through high school and at UF. He had his high school staff, two staffs at UF, and his own private QB coach. We know he worked hard yet his lack of accuracy has stayed the same. I watched the colts game. The footwork was atrocious. He won’t fix that during the season.I really think coming back to F for another year would have been the best thing for AR's development. He was just so raw last year.
