I think we probably beat Michigan with Zaire at QB. I think their blitzing would eat up our other QBs.

Tebow was left handed, Zaire is left handed, Tebow has 5 letters, Zaire has 5 letters....js

Nobody asked for my opinion on this, nor gave me a chance to beat the dead horse (or anything else), and I'm tired of waiting to be asked. I can't speak for the others, but for myself, there's a difference between getting better and being better. Mac has made some things better since he arrived, and either by my lack of observation or a lack of understanding or simply because it isn't there, I haven't seen much getting worse. UF, as a program, is 'getting better', but we have not become better yet. The optimist in me wants to keep believing the changes mean we are heading in the right direction, but it doesn't tell me that we'll get there...or that the changes move us from #117 up to #112 and hit their ceiling.
TL;DR = getting better makes me happy. This is not the same as saying that we are where we want to be.

1. Don't make me think. There are few times when I can handle it.
2. Don't make me think about a 'what if' that makes me vomit in my throat. That's just cruel.

From Fever's allegation, I say we take out that Zaire insurance policy, let him get that "big-enough-lead" and then give rookies Franks & Trask enough good game stress experience.
Give them enough winning-time, telling them each, "Boys, this is the way you two start the Florida Dynasty, beginning your sophomore seasons next year... Now go take a knee with Zaire and pray the exact same words as Z." :D

Lord! I've thought of a serious worry. Is Zaire at the same level of physical attributes as before his injury. Have we got films of that playing time, since he couldn't win his starting job back. He looked like Heisman material.

I think ND has a coach that isn't too bright. ND played like crap when he failed to name Malik Zaire the starter and went 4-8. That other guy built up stats against the patsies mostly.

Why? Zaire would have 2 years. If he's the best option, why wouldn't we start him?

We need to go with our current guys. Time to develop the talent he has already recruited.

So potentially go with lesser talent?
Sure it's optimal if Franks is the guy, but if Zaire beats him out, then you go with Zaire. Make Franks win the competition.

Why do people keep pretending competition is a bad thing?
If Franks is the guy, and Zaire shows up, then Franks should be driven to beat him.
If Franks is worried about competition, then he needs to be replaced anyway, from hearing him speak, I get the feeling he isn't worried about the competition.

At some point we need to develop our guys or we will continue pulling in Zaires every year. We flipped Franks from LSU and I think he has skills. Its not that competing is a bad thing at all but if you have to continuously bring in grad transfers because you dont have confidence in the guys you are recruiting or your ability to develop them then why recruit them. There will be plenty of competing with Franks, Trask, Toney, and Allen.

Are you really comfortable with that group of 4? LDR certainly doesn't make that group better either.
