Florida's starting quarterback against Tennessee will be decided later in the week

I'm sorta hoping to see Treon start just to see you Grier Fanboyz have a seizure again.

Last time we inserted a freshman as a starter (it was a true one, at that) into a hostile crowd at KY, it was . . . Chris Leak (2003) and he did pretty well. I bet Grier starts this weekend, with same plan as at KY

The butthurt would be off the charts.

I think Grier starts, but I think Treon gets to play if Grier starts to struggle again. I think Grier's accuracy and quick release gives us a better chance to win. The OL needs to give him some time so he can actually make some throws and not look to run every time.

I can see Grier getting pulled if he fumbles or throws a bad pick.

I'd like to see Harris get another shot. Grier has the obvious upside but his play was mediocre in a lot of both the ECU and KY games.

Why so we can't set Grier's development back even further? We know what we are going to get with Treon; why waste Grier's development time with him.

 

[chferg]

Mac can't afford to lose to TN, in the Swamp, one of the things he said about getting our mojo back was to dominate in the Swamp. If Grier is having a so-so game and we are down, bet the house that Treon will get in.

I'm all for getting Grier experience, but not at the expense of losing at home to a TN, If he isn't getting the job done or is hurting with mistakes, bench him and give Treon a chance. He's getting valuable experience with each game, screw that taking our lumps BS, WIN baby WIN, plus winning will help land better recruits, Have another 4-8 season and watch those coveted players go elsewhere...

I don't know about that....Tenn hasn't won **** and Bootch is still landing top 5 classes

Treon can be a terrific QB under Mac. He's developing both. Harris is basically a freshman to since he had no development under you know who last year.

What Treon are you watching? Guy can't make reads and he has the arm of a middle school QB

I read that Mac said, in retrospect, there were some times when he probably should have put Harris in.

I don't think it's gamesmanship, think he's seriously trying to decide who to start and will use this week's practice as tiebreaker. There's no denying Grier struggled some against UK. He also fumbled and threw a Pic in the endzone. So if you're not getting the Ball security you are looking for, and not exploiting the passing advantage he has over Treon, then it's not a slam dunk. Plus Treon came in and won the game against UT last year so has that X-factor.

I do expect it to be Will, but would say it's only slightly in his favor and if Treon has a good week and Will stuggles in practice, seeing Treon start wouldn't surprise me.

And don't forget, Grier may be still injured to some degree this week.

I'm not saying Treon sucks. I'm just saying he doesn't fit this system. In this system, he's average at best. Put him in GTech''s system and he'd be fantastic. Put him in a spread option that is up-tempo and he would thrive. Mac's system requires sitting in the pocket, making your reads, and getting the ball out on time. Treon struggles to do that due to not processing info quickly enough and even when he does his lack of velocity causes problems. Take the WR screens or quick hitches Nussie is so fond of throwing. The WR has a lot less time to make a play when Treon is throwing those passes.

 

[Alagator]

His lack of arm strength will always limit him in this offense. He'd be great in a spread-option system. But that isn't what Mac runs. In this system, he is just a backup QB. Remember, there were big time schools that only wanted him as a CB or slot receiver. They didn't want him at all as a QB.

While we remember that you shouldn't forget there were also big time schools that DID want him as a QB, including fsu, who we stole him from.

He's got a better deep ball than Grier.

 

[GatorintheKnox]

I don't think Mac likes either QB but he's stuck with them. What kills me is seeing the kid from Notre Dame come in and light it up for over 200 yards but our guy can't get over 100. Hopefully by Grier getting all the first team reps he'll play a little better against UT.

Now I know you're out of your mind....

Treon's deep ball consists of a fluttering duck.

We really don't know what kind of deep ball Grier has as he really hasn't taken one deep.

What about Treon's development? Why do we know what we're getting with Treon, but not with Grier? It's not like he's a 5th year senior. In fact, Treon hasn't been on campus as long as Grier. Your argument makes ZERO sense and you are now officially in the racist category!

It's pretty good if you've got over an hour for it to arrive.

Grier hasn't taken one deep because as Mac said he used his feet as his check down. If he can't get through his progressions, why should he be starting over Treon? I'm not in either's camp, but I find some of you simply ridiculous with you're one-sided arguments.

I simply agree with maheo. Grier is a better fit for Mac's system. Plus skin color is a factor for me, no doubt.

That "skin color" comment I made above was a joke, by the way. Please don't call the police.
