Look. You just don't screw around with a hammy. Make a mistake with one and you'll have that injury for the whole year. So test away. Any doubt and you sit him for Tennersee...unless you need him.

Additional benefit is that after Tennersee you've pretty much got a handle on EJ's ceiling. Now it's time to start the real competition. That's what I'd do. If AR is still showing signs that he's going to blow the doors off college football then the competition is over.

Total nonsense. Start him and play him the entire game against UT. Emory should not be seeing the field again unless it's at the end of huge blowouts, which I have a feeling we'd be seeing a lot of if AR was actually allowed to play.

See, in the past you would've thrown in at least one or two comments encouraging us to point and laugh at Jones, force him to leave campus immediately in shame, etc. I don't know if it's the 3D printer helping to calm some of your pent up rage, getting old, or what. But the growth I've personally witnessed is really remarkable. I don't have to tell you most message board owners' stories are quite the opposite and often end in homelessness, telling bags of cans that they're on the verge of a vacation. Kudos to you for going against that trend.

Ok Ok. I'm crushed that you don't agree with me. My day is ruined.

How bought another possibility. Short and goal, AR goes in. I haven't seen squat that EJ is very good at that. Then after that works, 3rd and short then AR goes in, and when he converts he stays in. Then we'll find out who's got the goods. And I agree it's highly probable that it's AR. If AR goes in for mop up duty only then I'm really pissed.

About the tumbling act. You re-aggravate a hammy when you change direction. Straight ahead stuff, the tumbling he did, not so much. But if I was Mullen I'd be having a talk with AR. Look we want you to play. Don't take chances like that. Your real chance is coming up. Don't screw it up with another injury.

By the way I'm especially concerned about a hammy because of what the Jags did to Fred Taylor. He had a small strain, they kept using him and bam it ripped and he lost a year. The net result, he got the undeserved moniker of Fragile Freddy, and that probably cost him early entry into the hall of fame.

Or maybe Mullen is just as stubborn as you think. I just don't try to read minds. AR is a special talent. I just find it hard to believe that Mullen is that stubborn.

It sure wouldn't hurt to have a really great QB and an very good QB in the stable.

AR could have easily played last week, and everyone knows it. This copout "let's hold him out so he doesn't reinjure it" nonsense could (and probably will) be used by Mullen ALL DAMN YEAR. That POS doesn't want to play AR, if it was up to him he'd keep him in the locker room where no one could see him. It's only a matter of time until Richardson "accidentally" gets a serious injury while riding a scooter or someone "encourages" him to transfer. It's more than obvious at this point that Mullen cannot stand the kid personally, because he's making him look bad.

Mullen is slime, Mullen is filth, and if we already couldn't stand him enough, he keeps our most dynamic player since Tim Tebow on the bench in the name of "loyalty" or some such crap. I'm already tired of it, and if this continues as the season goes on something has to be done. Mullen has to be jettisoned from the program somehow.

One player in a lifetime leaving the program and winning the Heisman and NC somewhere else was bad enough, I can't handle it twice.

we could all save alot of time and bandwidth if you'd just post "trust the coaches" from this point forward.

I may have spoke too soon. Is there any way to remove a previous post all together? tia

That AR play against UT is mainly important because AR has had too few ball-handling opportunities. Our team needs AR to have many more plays, actually a number closer to what EJ has had. AR has not been hit enough times from enough different angles to make him reach his best. We want him max-ready for tough games. Really want him ready to deal with UGA's defensive fierceness to make it fail. We could use both barrels: EJ & AR. Regardless of this & that, we want our Gators to be all that they can be, and that includes be highly fan-pleasing. There are no reasons we can't beat other teams similar to how we handled USF, FAU.?? Let's do that, DM. Play AR to get him to peak readiness.

We want all our remaining opponents stumbling backward. We want to be SEC champs. If doable, we want that national buzz that comes with pundits saying Florida should be in the playoff picture. For that, we need AR's magic.

Give AR clean-up duty each game but with different packages. Slowly build his tool set up. Then, use him as a 2nd in a 1-2 punch to BLOW THE LEGHUMPERS OFF THE FACE OF EARTH.
Must beat the buttsniffers.

I don't hate Emory Jones. In fact, I think he's certainly better than Franks. It's not his fault he has a superstar behind him, that's just the breaks sometimes. HE'S the one who needs to transfer so he can play without the circus.

Or move aside and wait. I expect AR to start SOMEWHERE next year and be gone in the draft. He is a #1 talent type guy. (Not just first round but #1 pick). He cant afford to stay and will leave at the end of year 3 period whether DM tries to ice him fuchs fuchs or not.

The last time DM tried fuchs fuchs with AR, by flirting with Carson Beck, AR decomitted. He wants to be here but business is business. He didnt raise hell, didnt talk shyt,but he isnt getting pushed around by a douchebag. He is gone to the NFL after year three.

If AR starts now and next year then leaves, EJ can (and would I think bc CDR isnt more talented) start in 2023 by excluding 2020 as an eligible year.
