Most understand that LDR, like all competitive players, don't want to resign to the bench unless on a gurney. Being a QB that will trigger all plays is a different animal. I could see him starting himself with good intentions and Gator pride. I certainly don't go down the road of slandering him and soiling his character as a person/athlete. However, it's item #205 now on Coach Mac and this 'over their heads' staff and some irresponsibility on Luke. In this game, he was missing wide opens "badly", throwing into the dirt "badly", floating helium balloons or deep sliders. I mean worse than ever before. Luke, that's the time when you know it's time to say Coach, my fast ball is gone, I'm hurt, for the team, spell me right now. The bigger issue is Coach Mac and this amateurism hour staff. They know he is missing passes "that badly" because something is wrong and they have all watched enough football to pull a guy (for a series or two at least to check him out mentally if not physically) while the #2 takes over until further notice. Yet, they made a decision to lose the game in actuality... Gators, hmm maybe their not, we are, but listening to him talk to us like we are sitting in HS bleachers pisses me off. Just saying, IMO.
. Mac needs to coach like he is coaching for his job this week. Gator Nation will not abide a loss to chump at home. I've given Mac the benefit of the doubt to this point and will continue to until I see the offense succeed or fail under one of the freshmen (or an atrocious close to this recruiting class), but he will lose those like me if he loses this game to chump, at home, with the SEC East crown still in the cards. I suspect he knows the importance of winning this game and will not gamble on it with one of the freshmen.
