The only dual sports I've seen work was with RB/WR in Football and Track...Never a QB...Not in this day and age.
Doug Johnson was a case in point.

It's mostly mercenaries now. Players and coaches.Once the childhood devotion to a particular school went extinct, where's the guiding light for us fans to feel proud about corralling a particular player.? It has been a nextasary loss, inevitable, but what can we grasp to fill that deficit.? We warm to the sight of alumni returning to declare the sweetness of their UF experience, so the absence of any player's prior devotion must downgrade our enjoyment.?? All this is a stab-statement of not much purpose -- just rambling thoughts on this the protracted course of these recruiting events
Would not it be great if Nap's coaching style worked toward naturally enhancing school loyalty (just the opposite of Mullen's style).? Along with that, would follow the strengthening bonds to Florida high school programs. Let's get back to where we belong = ruling the whole state. Grow Gators.!
Doug Johnson was a case in point.
Doug was never going to be a top flight QB no matter how much he focused on it.
Swing pass knee level and behind the receiver was patent pendingNobody threw the ball into the dirt better than Doug. Simple Dig or Slant and the ball was destined to land at the receivers feet.

There’s a gentleman from Oviedo on line 3. Says it’s urgent he speaks with you.

I thought Ingle Martin was the one that threw it into the dirt short all the time. Doug Johnson would throw everything as hard as he could and often over threw and high.
Well to be fair, Spurrier was basically coaching them up before each snap by rotating them. So there was an 80% chance they knew exactly how the play would form up.I think Martin only got like one complete game in ‘03, so it’s tough to remember. But basically, they all threw it into the dirt, or crazy high. Never on point. How we beat the noles in ‘97, I have no idea. I truly think Johnson threw one good pass the whole game. Same with games like ut in ‘12 and ‘14, and fsu in ‘12. Watch those games in full and you’d swear we’re losing by 60.

The floor was really set by Brindise, which sounds ridiculous looking backThat’s where DJ was a little more egregious. He had Spurrier, while Brantley and Driskel had a combination of disasters coaching them. Then again, we also never sank to the lows under Johnson that we experienced with the other two, so it probably about balances out. Anyway, cool of us to start the week on such a a positive note.
