College players are almost always legal adults, too.No. College is where I draw the line. It's semi-pro.
Had nothing to do with Leak. That someone simply questioned Law's ability to complete a sentence without loading it with fact errors and distortions.View attachment 12030

Yeah, someone dissed Chris's capabilities and his rightful place in Gator lore... and the chomping began

"He was the nation's #1 QB"
Oh, really? Which year and by what measure? I'm aware of no argument in that direction.
"multiple All-SEC QB"
Yes he was, but he wasn't THE All-SEC quarterback as implied by the wording, he was the second-team selection two times. Note it.
"the all-time leading passer"
Coming after the All-SEC reference and lacking any sort of further clarification, the inference is Law's calling him the SEC's all-time leading passer. That's simply not true. Or, at the very least, possibly pointing to him being Florida's all-time leading passer. He's Florida's career YARDAGE leader, but does that put him above Wuerffel, who had 26 more TDs? Not in my book.
If I had never heard of him, I'd have thought from Law's sentence that Leak was the greatest college quarterback who ever lived.
Im not sure what rating s systems you guys are using, maybe the retrospective one that 247 made up after the fact?"He was the nation's #1 QB"
And Freshman All SEC in addition to the two All SEC awards you mentioned."multiple All-SEC QB"
"the all-time leading passer"... the inference is Law's calling him the SEC's all-time leading passer.
So, if I meant all-time leading passing TDs, I would have said it. I didnt. Nor did I say he heas the best QB ever.Or, at the very least, possibly pointing to him being Florida's all-time leading passer. He's Florida's career YARDAGE leader,
Who said that? Any indiciations that I dont think Wuerffel is the best QB ever? However Wuerffel would have sucked running the option.but does that put him above Wuerffel, who had 26 more TDs? Not in my book..
agree with all of this. go back and watch any game of Leak and you'll see a lot of frustrating stuff, especially the sliding short or crumpling to the ground when a defender breathed on him. Leak was a good qb, but his last game definitely makes it easier to forget all the aggravation the previous 4 yearsLet's just say Leak was extremely fortunate that he was able to go out on such an incredibly high note, because it made a lot of people forget how frustrating his career often was here. Had we lost that game to OSU, I doubt Leak would be held in such regard by so many fans.
Most of us were glad to see Leak have a great last game.....and great relief that his tenure was over.
Oh, brother, are you stretching now, delving all the way back to high school in an embarrassing effort to state a case that could have been much better served by simply saying he was a great Gator and the fifth-best quarterback (fourth best in passing) in UF history.Im not sure what rating s systems you guys are using, maybe the retrospective one that 247 made up after the fact?
OK he was at the least the National Offensive Player of the Year.
And Freshman All SEC in addition to the two All SEC awards you mentioned.
Again, it is not an inference. You use that word incorrectly all the time. You are allegeding I IMPLIED that, which is untrue. YOU may have incorrectly inferred that. The speaker is the one who implies... the people hearing are the ones who infer.
You incorrectly inferred SEC.
So, if I meant all-time leading passing TDs, I would have said it. I didnt. Nor did I say he heas the best QB ever.
What he was, however, was an elite passing QB stuck with a stubborn OC who knew only the option and Notre Dame football.
Imagine if we had used him for two years the way we used him vs OSU.
Who said that? Any indiciations that I dont think Wuerffel is the best QB ever? However Wuerffel would have sucked running the option.
Just to be clear, I still love you with all my heart. Even though youve gone senile and/or are a heroin addict.

I bet when Franks got up this morning he had to take a Leak.
I'm trying Ox.
Nice post. I agree with a lot of your points (body of work, etc.), but I disagree with your conclusion. You think that USCe was the beginning of the end; I simply think that it's truly his beginning. Just re-watched the game and picked up a point not mentioned. With things testy at the game's end, it was Franks who separated our players and prevented any suspensions, etc. Is he still imature? Yes. But he is growing and he also showed leadership. That and Perine's shushing indicate that it's Franks's team. Also, I think much of the board is in love with the second string QB. Idaho will teach us more.
Some coaches say that the team determines the QB.He is going to be a big locker room problem I think when Mullen moves on to Jones as the starter.

So unexpected, so overwhelming. My happiest day as a Gator.Yeah, we all know Chris had some help from his friends... TEAM baby!
