Had I been UF's coach and had I been able to get the buy in, I would have played Shorter in the Pitts position and Davis in place of Toney. Then UF could have gotten Pierce, Davis, Shorter, Copeland and Henderson all on the field at the same time.
Now perhaps the players did not want to buy in. And certainly Gamble needed snaps too. But that type of offense would have really threatened defense, but alas the QB issue would have been the QB issue and the guy who stayed with the same QB also was not willing to change the depth chart as much as I am suggesting I bet.

As I said elsewhere, the NFL certainly want blocking WRs. They expect blocking WRs. But blocking won't get you drafted. Catching the ball and running after the catch are what gets you drafted and help you make the team in the NFL, but you must block too.

I thought he came back for his senior year this season. EJ rarely looked his way but seemed to have a connection with AR.

I still remember Copeland's commitment video.

I do too. I also wonder if his mom gives him sh*t about coming to UF and not BAMA to this day.I still remember Copeland's commitment video.

I’d say EJ let him down quite a bit. Late decisions turned easy completions into tough catches/drops a lot.

Definitely; he would have been much better off going to Bama

Definitely one who should stay in school one more year because while there's talent, he's yet to consistently produce in any year--despite having a few seasons with an NFL-caliber QB in Trask and another season where he was the undisputed go-to WR (albeit with a poor passing QB).
Sometimes people get bad advice from agents and friends pushing them to the NFL; sometimes it's the person itself. I tend to think this one is Copeland thinking more highly of himself than is warranted; but won't hate on the guy for trying. I think it's a mistake, but best of luck to him.

there isn't going to be any wide receiver production anytime soon.
Cajun leading receiver has 332 yards.

I was promised he will change his entire offensive philosophy, hire an OC, and never call another play as long as he lives if he comes to UF. Are you positing the idea that those who have assured us all differently are wrong?

I too have talked to my own ass and not gotten enough assurances that he in fact knows he's a terrible OC and will hire someone better.

If EJ let him down, Mullen let him down.

You left out that they are 11-1. You are currently so deranged that you think it would be better if they were 6-5 but had a 1,000 yard WR. You have a mental disorder and need help.
Copeland is a fool. AR will be the QB next season, and it's a golden opportunity for Copeland to actually put some good catches on film and give teams a reason to draft him. Hell, he lit it up in the first two games this season when AR went ballistic.
