..... "This business about changing your scheme to match your personnel is fine
when you first take over a program and have little say as to who is there.
Five
or six years down the line however you should be recruiting players that fits
the style you like to play.".....
While I didn't read them all - there are just way too many pre & postgame
posts
and opinions to comment on them all, this is one comment that seems to sum the
present situation up better that most I did read. IMO the cunumdrum created by
recruiting players that don't fit the offense you want to play explains why the
Gators will find themselves watching the SECCG and NC on TV this year.
Cam Newton was recruited to be Tebow's replacement in the Urban Meyer
offense. In as much as Brantley does not fit in the Meyer style offense, my
guess is the only reason Brantley was recruited was out of respect for his
family's Gator legacy but without any real intention/plan/expectation that he
[Brantley] would ever be a starting Gator QB.
A bad "life choice" by Newton changed all that. Had things gone according to
what I believe was the "Urban Renewal Plan" for LAT - Life After Tebow, at this
juncture, Burton would be the QB backing up and the next in line to replace Cam
Newton and Brantley would still be on the sideline with clip board in hand
taking notes - ala Noah Brandise to name just one of many that have filled
that
role over the years.
