Something is better than nothing hence having those players would have improved our odds in the close games.
Preseason ALL SEC Callaway alone could have made a difference. Play makers make a difference.
2nd Team WR, 3rd team RS..... forgot to point that out? Pre-Season awards are for potential, post season awards are about production. His only post season award All American return specialist 2015. Obviously you believe we need more of those sub 50 yards receiving games from a #1 receiver.
The NFL scouts and experts I have heard disagree with your analysis of Scarlett. He has a high rating in relation to breaking tackles which you need when your OL is out of shape. You probably did not see the articles on Scarlett working out elsewhere with a good trainer. He was planning on going pro and was in good shape. Our new trainer has gotten Scarlett in even better shape than last summer which backed up Steele 's opinion on improvement. Something is better than nothing. You are the only person I see having Scarlett as 3rd string as most say Scarlett will start. He is our fastest back in the 100 meter.
A junior planning to go pro in August doesn't mean schit in October and November. So you are trusting "our" new trainer from the S&C that got fired. I also said complete back, you only mentioned his running ability to break tackles. Not avoid tackles, not block , etc.... If we was such a great prospect why doesn't listed on any top 25 backs in the NCAA before his suspension. In May the sporting news didn't have him listed in the top 40. Seems you are going off emotion of some fluff articles.
100 meter dash is how we are comparing football players... are you fcking kidding me By that comparison Emmitt Smith would be one of the worst RB's in the history of UF. How did the football careers of John Capel and Jeff Demps? Again using a stat that doesn't mean schit to football to fluff up your point.
Losing that 4 star OT who we were planning on playing is something our out of shape OL could have used to give the starter a rest.Athlon said:
With the Gators’ questionable offensive line, Telfort is probably the favorite to receive the most snaps out of the early enrollees. The 6-foot-7, 300-pound tackle from Miami prep powerhouse Booker T. Washington was considered one of the best linemen in the 2017 recruiting class and could help Florida right away.
So we are saying the potential that he might get the most snaps of an early enrollee could potentially help our team. That is your argument. That a true freshman OT might potentially help the team? Not saying that losing a 4* big boy isn't a blow, but depending on a true freshman OT with a quarterback who held on to the ball too long, or the other one with a pea shooter for an arm wasn't going to change our issues. Telfort wasn't going to start, he might have by the end of the season due to our S&C, but what effect really would he have had against the meat of our SEC schedule?
Our suspended 3 star LB was much more athletic than the walk on LB we had to start.
Again many additional things that could have made a difference in the close games last year and the upcoming games.
So a 3* linebacker, was the difference in the defense... really? How many positions does this player play again?
Before you start with emotions, please tell me where in the data is emotion. You seem to take fluff pieces and use emotion to determine their production from potential. But we have had a number of players come through with potential that lacked production. You're break downs are as if you casually watch football, never played, never coached, never cared to learn more than I can drink while watching. Your homerism has blinded you from the product you were watching on the field.
