Del Rio throwing shade at our fan base?

[Swamp Donkey]

If these guys' dads are lucky enough to be dead, they are spinning in their graves that their sons are basically 12 year old girls

That is a cheapshot at Sassy.

You seem to have missed that EVERYTHING is about us. We'll give you a pass this time.

About you and Sas?

When asked during the spring whether Del Rio would be in the mix to compete for the role when he returns, offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier replied, “I do.”

"You look at the way Luke played when he was healthy — he played some really good football when he was healthy,” Nussmeier said at the time. “And obviously he got banged up — banged up worse than we thought at the time. … We'll get him back, get him healthy. And I think once he gets healthy, he'll go back to being the player that he is.”

On Tuesday night during his speaking tour stop in Jacksonville, Florida head coach Jim McElwain reiterated that argument and said it would be a mistake to dismiss Del Rio from the conversation.

“When you look at when he was healthy last season and the numbers he put up in the first three or four games. Very efficient,” McElwain told the media, “Touchdown passes to interceptions ratio was really good. Our productivity in the red area was really good. He’s a guy that obviously knows what he’s doing and he’ll be ready to go.”

coach speak...

no where in those statements do I read that they will hand the starting position over to him. I just read that he would be in the "mix", and why wouldn't he be? even Trask is in the mix.

Yep some coach speak but we get coach speak on the others also. Don't be surprised if LDR finds himself starting at some point if Zaire doesn't work out or gets injured.

It would be a huge mistake by McElwain to have DelRio in the mix or starting again. The risk/reward is not good for Mac. If delrio makes a mistake, Mac's ass will be on the line. Better to just throw Franks or Trask out there of Zaire isn't the guy. It would be similar to Muschamp going down with the ship like he did with Driskel.

Mac&staff had better produce a prodigious offense directed by Franks or it's a setback for all concerned. IMO, this year's QB is going to come down to "quick-scan & quick-think". If we ever have WRs running clear, it will be these guys this year.

Exactly he can buy more time if he pulls Franks out there, because he might be young and not fully ready... there are times his talent will shine.

I absolutely wouldn't start him, nor do I want him to, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be in the mix as a last resort option.

maybe we just have different ideas of what "in the mix" means

Wasn't disagreeing Trux, I think he will be on the roster, and in the quarterback group. Just if I had to choose between LDR and Franks. I go Franks, because Franks can provide hope... LDR is more of the same.

- I t-totally agree

Yup. At least Franks can throw far enough to make the receivers go after the ball instead of forcing them to put on the brakes and try to come back and fight 3 defenders for it.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

I really don't see LDR in the mix. And I hope I'm right. His arm is a real liability. Franks/Zaire in some combination. Maybe even Trask.

That ball he threw to Hammond in the spring game was a beauty.

This escalated quickly. Then it escalated some more. Then more.

@Alex. Re the interception. I laughed out loud. No, not lol. I really laughed out loud.

For those unfortunate enough to follow the Jags DelRio's dad was once Jags head coach. He was run out of town. It turns out he's not a bad coach. In fact he's probably pretty good at his profession. The problem was he came off as an arrogant ......... This brings to mind the apple falling from the tree. Luke, just put your head down and do the best you can. Don't go where you just went.

 

[oxking]

He's just another cull with loose lips. He'll probably start against Michigan. That will really show up this rascally fan base.

If LDR started against Michigan it would be full meltdown mode.
