AR could throw it like Uncle Rico and I’d still want him to start. He’s special

EJ is exactly as what’s been reported out of the scrimmages.

Mullen is trying to balance EJ’s psyche right now. But I think he needs to see what he has with AR for sure.

Can't say I read or heard much about anyone during the fall practices. Must have just been my apathy for Cousin Eddie. But I did see something the other day hyping EJ for the Heisman. Well that did not last long.

Well the fact that in EJs coming out party the post game interviewer asked him about AR tells you all you need to know. Everyone can see it. EJ ain't got it. Not even close. AR at the very least is a tremendous threat with his legs and his freakish ability. EJ doesn't have that. Can AR throw? I wasn't impressed, but he also wasn't getting first team reps in practice so I will wait to see if he can be good enough to keep defenses honest and burn em when they aren't. Hell Tebow lit teams up and he cant throw for shyt

all reports from the scrimmages said he was mis-firing passes. Mullen actually said in a presser that nobody is talking about AR and he’s terrific.

Spurrier and Tebow both saw the practices and said that AR was really special.

not sure if you listened to the broadcast but they said that Mullen said Emory makes a great throw sometimes but he also makes a lot of head scratchers.

the decision to start a kid who has waited their turn for the 1st game against an overmatched opponent was the right call.

I think we see both QBs get time next week against USF. And then I think AR starts against Bama.

Those deep passes at the end were with walk on receivers. With Henderson and Copeland streaking down the sideline those will be completions.

Hope you're right man

I can't think of one thing EJ did better than AR

Can't see how you keep AR on the bench. Emory waited his turn for three years and you feel bad for the young man.
Probably the last thing cousin Eddy wants is a QB controversy but boy does he have one weather he likes it or not.

Honestly I think he got big headed and over excited the last drive. I think Mullen gave him an opportunity to show he's ready and he proved he was with his running but his passing wasn't there. He should have made the 2nd down field throw but overthrew him by 3 yards. I think he's the future and should get a real chance at the job but wouldn't get the opportunity because Mullen is stubborn.

This defense made FAU look SEC caliber. Its 2nd and 5 or something and we give them a 10yard cushion. And guess were the ball goes. It ain't about the QB, its the Dwag.

Did you notice the size difference when they sat next to each other on the bench? If all things were equal, that would show AR's (demonstrated) ability to run over people as well.
