Nobody cared that much... It was simply a comment regarding him seeming to be a "Georgia boy" according to a poster.

I know, I was joking.

He'll be OK if we can go through the SEC schedule throwing the ball 15 times a game, rushing for 150+, and hold teams to under 20 a game like last year. But he looked terrible in games 7-13. If we have to rely on him to make plays with his arm we're gonna struggle. He just doesn't look comfortable in our offense at all.

As far as Purifoy goes I'd say a lock-down corner is much more valuable than a decent wide receiver. Plus with Muschamp we're gonna run it 75% of the time anyway, so all he would be doing is blocking and running reverses. I'd rather he be covering the other team's best receiver.

Like some others have said in the thread we need Purifoy to play WR in the spring just for numbers. We lost Hammons Hines & Ali to graduation and Andrades is playing baseball in the spring. We only have 5 WR on scholarship available for spring ball if we dont use Purifoy.

The only pass Luchiez is going to catch is the Blunt coming his way. LOL

This is the year for both Boom and Jeff- we either adapt, throw more and build off 2012, or we fall back- and if we fall back it doesn't bode well for the future of either man.

But I suspect nothing will get that nagging feeling out of your stomach until Muschamp is gone, so grab some Rolaids.

Leak had shown prior to the Iowa game that he could play consistently.

The Tebow example is frankly insulting to both of us but if you really need me to point out why Tim's 2007 season gave me more confidence than Jeff's 2012 I will:

Tebow 2007 prior to the bowl: 217/317 3186 yds 29 TDs 6 Ints
Jeff 2012 prior to the bowl: 140/216 1471 yds 11 TDs 3 Ints

Yeah it sure is puzzling which QB would make me more confident going into the next year- you could literally double Jeff's numbers (giving him more than 100 more attempts than Tim) and he'd only be a slightly above average college QB-- we all hope he'll get better but let's be honest about it- right now Jeff is a below average QB, whereas in 2007 Tebow had won some award they give out in New York each year, you might remember it.

Personally, don't like the Purifoy to WR talk... He's the most physical corner and still growing at the position. He played QB in highschool, similar to Joe Haden - had some good and some bad moments early in his career... blossomed into #5 pick.

I would have to disagree with this. I believe ee's have a huge head start. You cannot really compare your average hs offense to the offense UF runs. I could say the same thing for defense. The coaches also get a chance to learn more about the players.

Pretty much my thoughts to.
