QB for tonight's game

[Captain Sasquatch]

My source says that Grier will play if JD does not play well.

P.S. My source is my 18 month old boy. Go Gators.

 

[Gator Fever]

If he plays today and then get muscles spams, can he medical redskirt?

I think today may be the last game he could play in and still qualify for a medical redshirt but I don't know if claiming that would pass muster or not because it says season ending injury.

That is why they started claiming "back spasms" a couple of weeks ago when it became obvious that Driskel could be on his way to the bench.....It gave them another couple of weeks to prepare for the situation. Most freshmen "medical" situations are of the back spasm or high ankle sprain stuff, you know, stuff that can't really be treated directly but can linger on for a while......

My prediction: Driskel plays the whole game, plays with ambiguous enough results that those who don't like Driskel will still not like him and those who defend him will continue to do so.

I think it's Driskel or bust today and I also think with no one expecting anything of him, he'll play looser and better.

Chimp can't afford to lose any more SEC games.

stephan says it's Champ!

Who defends him? Name one name......

 

[GatorStud]

Driskeling equals Morningwig but with a longer leash for the pulse less one... then look for Harris next week.

 

[Coach9]

Thought we were wearing all Blue with Pink accents?

 

[jaywalker72]

Who defends him? Name one name......

Mrs. Driskel, S. Claus and Kyle Morris.

 

[Alagator]

Maybe Harris will dress for warm ups and then change back to street clothes for the game.

You are consistent. I'll give you that. Consistently wrong. THE NCAA rules which were posted in another thread, yet you still managed to misunderstand, state very clearly that it must be a catastrophic or season ending injury. High ankle sprain stuff does not qualify, Block head... I'd love to see some stats about your consistent claim that every program in the country systematically schemes to lie to the NCAA at the beginning of every season to increase the odds a player might need a medical redshirt somewhere in the future. The plan was always to redshirt Grier, IF they had the luxury. TH provided that luxury. No lies, no conspiracy.

Also, anyone remember what happened the last time we had two high profile freshman QB's in the same year. The Plan was to redshirt one of them, that is until injuries forced the second one into play. Without a year of separation you are almost guaranteed the one not winning the starting job will transfer. A year of separation at least increases the odds that both will stay.

Dress Harris. Let him play when JD ****s the bed bad enough.

Harris without practice prep > JD with

I hope you are right!

It has to be catastrophic if you take up to 30% of the snaps or to a certain point of the season.......It can and 100% of the time be applied for and granted AT THE END OF THE SEASON EVEN IF IT IS A NAGGING INJURY like turf toe, high ankle sprain or back spasms especially if you do not play....Hedging the odds of getting a hardship later on should the player-school want a 6th year of eligibility........

 

[VulcanAlex]

Gee wondering about what one player might do three years from now is not on my radar. If we need someone to win now we use them, we can recruit additional players later, you can't fix losses today. Any decent QB at UF should not need a sixth year nor should we really ask for them unless they just want to be a backup. Sorry Jeff had his chance and unless we see dramatic and immediate improvement no starting for him next year not to mention in games this year.

Surely you're just trolling.

 

[jereed16]

Short term perspective isn't always best. Hell, the Dow had a terrible week...sell, sell, SELL. Burn a red shirt for the national player of the year when you have a guy that will be available next week to bridge you to him? I think not.

Totally agree. I hope we can manage to beat LSU today without having to play Grier. A year of separation between he and Harris is best case scenario. But if he has to play, he has to play. Operating under the assumption that TH is innocent I absolutely hate he will not be available to play in this game and that accusation not only affects him but potentially Grier as well.
