Two years ago we heard that exact same "the sky is falling" as the Gators will never compete for a SEC Championship as our QB Sucks, WR Suck, and we have a QB that nobody else would ever take.
Since then, the Gators have a Heisman Candidate, several WR that have gone and are going to the NFL.
Nobody, and I mean nobody knew that Trask was going to be the Star he ended up being. Give Emory a chance to show what he can do before jumping all over the "We Suck" campaign. His limited reps do to having Trask has not allowed him to show what he can do since he only had a handful of plays.
I do agree, that the defense has lacked in coaching. Like everyone else on this board, I think that we are all in agreement on this one. However, take a look at ALL the teams that are typically sound on defense and see how they produced this year. They ALL SUCK! Even with the overwhelming NFL talent on that side of the ball for those "Elite Recruiting" "Top 5 Teams". Defense was not played this year by any team. With that said, at least they seam to know what the plays were and were not running around looking lost when the ball is being snapped. I just do not think this year was a "typical year" for any defense.
I hope that Trask, Toney, Grimes, all do opt out for the Bowl game this year. I would love to watch them all one more time but, I also think this would be a great time to see what these other players can do when given an entire game to play running the full playbook. I think we all may be a bit surprised with the ball movement down the field. On defense, it will not matter, if the starters have no idea what the plays are and do not know how to line up, I doubt the 2nd team will either.
Am I a pumper? Nah, just someone who does not think the "sky is falling" with every aspect of this Gator Team. Am I a dumper? Nah, just someone who does see that change does need to take place in certain aspects of this Gator Team.
