We gave no depth. Once some injuries start to pile up, we’re competing with mid-major type talent.
If we win 10 games with this roster, I’ll be ecstatic.

Ya know I feel the same way simply because of the lackluster recruiting that we've seen over the last 3 years especially on the defensive side of the ball. But never underestimate the ineptness of the rest of the SEC east division coaches. Thats why I'd rather see a team who wins moreso because of development especially late in the season than a paper tiger who turns to mush the way the 2016/2016 and 2020-2022 teams did....finish strong, recruit and then challenge the big boys.

No...Im pretty sure it was 7-5 prior to a win in the outback bowl.<<<< WRONG

This post can stand as one of many monuments to my inability to read a spreadsheet.
And as usual, I'm wrong.

Ok, you’re hammered. Once for the first post, then for quoting yourself.

Then again, I mistakenly referred to you as Bushmaster thinking I’d quoted him. So you know, glass houses and all.:lol:

Thing is, because of the avatar, in my head every @neteng post sounds like it's coming from a spoiled little girl.

But maybe that's what he's going for.

How do we know they didn't just give this survey to a group of third-graders at Howell Watkins Elementary school? It seems like the results would be about the same:

In hindsight of the Power 5 coaching carousel, who do you wish the Gators could’ve courted as head coach? (Pick up to three)
Tim Tebow 98%
John Cena 76%
Nick Saban 64%

What’s the biggest concern about a position (or group) facing the 2022 Gators?
Quarterback 98%

What fan-friendly enhancements — anything from cheaper concessions to a renovation that adds more shaded seats, etc. — would you like to see at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium?
More fun arcade-style games to play while boring football game is going on 78%
Better choices of candy at the concession stand 98%

What is your realistic expectation for the Florida football program?
Go nose-to-nose with Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State every season
50%

We couldn’t even hold a spring game in 2015 because we had 6 total OL. Our best player on that unit was a transfer from Fordham who, as was later discovered, could barely pick up a 30lb kettle bell. Treon half the year. Less talent than ut and (probably) uga, but still beat both. And our best WR was a Freshman that year.

2018 we had to overcome 3 years of McElwain’s recruiting, Franks and had depth issues all over the place.

I’m not denying we have depth concerns. I’m just saying we still have more talent than all the teams on our schedule minus maybe two. I think we read too much into the final year of the previous regime. UF is rarely, if ever, a legit 7-8(or less) win team talent-wise. And that’s before the portal. We can disagree, but I see nothing that says we can’t win 9-10 games this year.
Agreed. Depth is a very real issue but outside of a few positions the starting unit should be an upgrade over last season. The starting OLine should be the best we’ve seen in years. 8-4 should be the absolute floor not the expectation (unless there are key injuries).
