UPDATE: QB Malik Zaire officially a Gator

[Gator2222]

Cheering for your Gators and liking the coach are not mutually exclusive.

I agree with that completely. I was certainly not a Muschamp fan.

As I said in my original post, I understand people being unhappy with the direction of the program, the coaching or play at a particular position.

That was not at all the point that I was addressing.

He couldn't beat out Golston, Kizer or Winbush. He's a backup. Just like every other QB on the team

Dont worry. McNusselchump can crank out a 115th ranked defense with a dog playing QB.

Im going to trust you on this but it is not quite what I remember. However, I am getting older and more forgetful.

Every time I go to GSMB, my computer explodes with virus warnings so Im not taking the chance on searching there, Ole Buddy.

116....don't be dull....

No it's not. Nuss's playbook is complex from what I've read and there's 100s of plays, the formations and terms. He may understand most of it but it won't be to the level he needs to succeed. He's also a bad fit for this offense. See Treon, Devin, etc for reasons why this is going to be a disaster.

Zaire is not Treon. Do you think we lose to Michigan with Zaire starting?

Have to agree with Fever on this point, Zaire can see over the Offensive line.

Feel free to search the GSMB. I was constantly being called out for not being a real Gator fan because I wanted Muschamp fired.

I've been on both sides.

The only thing we have to go on with Zaire is his history at Notre Dame. To be honest, it's a mixed bag. There were games where he looked like a world beater and other games where he was mediocre.

He did win the starting job two games before breaking his ankle.

I am optimistic, but it remains to be seen if he can play well consistently. I think we finally have enough talent on offense to put up points if we can get someone under center that can deliver the ball downfield.

Isn't Zaire about 1 inch taller than Harris?

I actually agree with Omar. I'll check myself in to the psych ward later.
It's hard for me to believe that Zaire is going to pick up a playbook in 12 weeks better than someone who has been practicing it for two years. I just don't see it. And maybe 10-15% of the plays are designed for Zaire's style. Plus Franks will be #1 going in to fall practice. I can' imagine the staff naming Zaire #1 and then practicing a new playbook that everyone has to pick up. Franks will start with maybe a heavy rotation of Zaire.

Zaire is supposedly an inch taller than Treon but still listed as 6'0". He can't see over the line any better than Treon.

2-3... but then again, I truly doubt Harris was 5-10.

There were several games that I thought he was about 4-11....

At least URG is taller that, he'll commit latter when he is back from the lollipop guild meetings.

Well, Harris was listed at 5'11 and Zaire at 6'. I'm not sure why you believe one and not the other. I'm not arguing that Harris was too short to play QB (and just not a good QB). But it's not like Zaire is some 6'4, 6'5 stud either. Anything under 6'2 in this day and age of 6'4 to 6'8 OL's is "short".

I don't know how tall Zaire is, but if Harris was taller than 5'8" I would love to see it. Harris was more of an athlete than quarterback, and why he was recruited at Quarterback here is any ones guess.

I am not expecting any miracle but I think we go 8-4 or 9-3 with him and have a good chance to beat Michigan since mobile QBs seem to be the ones that can make that blitzing defense pay sometimes. If I was betting I think we go 7-5 and lose to Michigan if LDR or Franks is the starter.

I don't think that rule gets changed.

Screw Saban - he says that because they get all the players they need and have to even run some blue chippers off because they over sign. I don't think most of the other West schools will go along with Bama on this.
