My thoughts;

Appleby will be more than a backup.
He will be throwing to the best bunch of receivers he has ever played with.
Appleby's highlights make him look a little like Driskell. He doesn't seem to scan the field, but rather tries to fit the ball in to his first look. There are several passes that are almost picked off and they will be in the SEC.

I agree but it was good to see him play with heart and passion. He reminded me a little of TT after a TD throw. He needs some coaching but I think he is serviceable. Im just so happy Harris wont be in the lineup.

He actually threw a couple of passes to a specific spot as opposed to waiting for the receiver to break open. That would be encouraging to see....a timing route.

Apologies... I was wrong... a graduate transfer is allowed to transfer without losing a year because they have graduated... I believe that is correct. Either way the point remains most these guys aren't that good.

Ryan Smith provided value for a year... got a pick in the championship game. Appleby may be good, but I don't see why people are soooo confident right now. I hope he is amazing and I am glad he is here... I just don't see where the confidence comes from.

Russell Wilson comes to mind

This started off positive and then nose dived there at the end

A timing route? What's that?

How long did you make it through before your release?

From what I've seen Appleby looks AMAZING and will make us quickly make us forget about Will Grier..............not really sold on him as our next starting quarterback though.

Yeah... I mentioned in an earlier post that he is the only one I can think of. I think it is the exception and not the rule. Hope Appleby is the guy... we need a QB bad, but I just don't see why some people are so confident about a QB who had a 1/1 TD/INT ratio at Purdue

I am trusting Mac's ability to coach the interceptions, for the most part, out of him. You cannot be afraid to throw the football to a tight window. I will take a 5:1 ratio and be thrilled.

Not sure. Think I read about them in history books.

Well heck yeah, I'd take that ratio too. That's 10 TD's to 2 interceptions. What might that look like in a season? Maybe 25 TD's to 5 interceptions. If the Florida Gators have a QB with those type numbers I'm betting we have a damn fine season.

Not to mention this guy has better wheels than I expected. He seems like he'd be a threat to run one in every time they get inside the 10 yard line.

 

[CGgater]

Based on the highlights, he looks way more accurate than what we had. Maybe he's got some bad tendencies, but I'll bet he can hit Callaway when f$u leaves him wide open. He might provide some good competition so nobody gets complacent.

Well....if there's one thing that 19 interceptions proves, it's that he's not afraid to sling the ball around.
