If we give Aeris the ball 40% of the time in last 2 games, we win those games. And if he plays 75% of the snaps, we also complete more passes.
Yeah, and the fact that Aeris was playing over Kylin was used against Mullen heavily.

Not by me. I was bugged when Holloway was playing over Aeris. Aeris did miss the assignments at times back then, but he blocked when he didn't. Holloway never missed an assignment, but that poor boy would just get swatted aside by a LB.

Maybe Mullen was making aeris reach his potential by forcing him to get better to play

Maybe he was. Didn't mean to seem critical of your boy **

I was over Mullen and pulling for FSU big time. Moorhead has given me separation anxiety now. We lost a solid 7, and replaced with a 2

I'm over Mullen. I wish he would have stayed, but he didn't. I'm just thankful we didn't fire him or force him out. THAT would have been a bigger disaster than we have right now (if it's really a disaster). The guy is a good coach. He may be a great one. I think we are finding out a litttle bit about just how good he was right now.

Again it's too early to say this. Moorhead and Fitz ain't jellying right now but we'd be 5-0 and ranked in the top 10 if you gave us Moorhead's QB from last year.

He lost to Mark Stoops in Gainesville 3 weeks ago. First time Florida has lost to Kentucky in 31 years. He should of lost to us with our horrendous offense 4 days ago if Osirus could catch a gift. Let's not go building the myth legend of Mullen into Saban now.

I'm not sure I buy that. Our issues go way beyond QB play right now.

Florida was a trainwreck when he showed up. He's already matched last year's win total.
We all thought Florida was a gimme win at the beginning of the year. Now we're trying to paint him barely beating us as not that big a deal?

Sure they do but do you disagree that we are 5-0 with McSorley?

We also thought Fitz was a legit heisman candidate.

Maybe, if he could bring a receiver or two with him. We don't play in the BIG though.

Really? A Heisman QB has to be able to pass the ball better than Fitz does, and did. Now if we were running the wishbone maybe.

Florida was an absolute train wreck last year. The improvement is remarkable. Nobody said anything about Saban. Hopefully we have seen the last one of those. Overall Saban has been horrible for college football.

Rough morning of comprehension for you. I used the sentence in past tense. Vegas had odds on Fitz winning the heisman in preseason. Media dubbed him a heisman candidate.

I disagree that it's a definite that we would be 5-0 with McSorley. I think some of the things that look like Fitz's issues are more problems with the offense in general.

Correct. Both of these things being entirely different than we thought can be attributed to the coaching staff.
Because the Fitz of last year would be a Heisman candidate right now.
And this is my point re: McSorley vs. Fitz. It's easy to look and say, 'well, Fitzgerald just sucks now.'
Which is more likely, that Fitzgerald suddenly became much worse, or the new coaching staff can't figure out how to make our offense productive?

Mullen's Florida isn't an improvement from McElwain's teams. That's the standard they fired the last guy at. Not the standard of an interim coach.

Rough one for you you mean, you missed the "and did" obviously. He was no Heisman candidate before the season either.
