I think it's a shame that we can't tailor our offense to play to the strengths of a passing QB. Oh, wait! We did that in 2005-2006, didn't we? Why are we unable to do it now? Why can't we dust off the playbooks from 2006 and run that offense?
Ken, I have to agree with you on your thoughts for Brantley. It would be hard to think he's not at least giving it serious thought. The worst part is if I were the father of a passing QB son, I would NEVER let him play for Coach Meyer after how I've witnessed him nearly get Brantley killed trying to pretend like he's a QB that he's not - JMHO. Jay, do you have room under that canoe? :-) ________________________________ From: Ken Kirkley <k...@kirkley.net> To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Tue, October 19, 2010 1:05:10 PM Subject: RE: [gatortalk] I DON'T miss Dan Mullen I had the thought that Brantley might transfer after this year if things don't improve. He is in his 4th year, so should be on track to graduate. He would then be able to transfer to a D1 school that offers a masters program that UF does not and play next year. I am not advocating this, but if we refuse to use his abilities we are better off letting Burton get the snaps now so we can be better in the future.

It will make listening to the radio broadcast a bit awkward, but it already is a bit slanted with the family connection. I get tired of hearing quotes like ”Johnny did his best to get that ball there and the receivers just need to make those catches”, when the unbiased comment should have been, “Johnny seems to be having problems with the pressure and isn’t getting the ball to his receivers”. Let the flaming begin. Ducking for cover.

Through no fault of his, and to some extent, Brantley's, this has been the less effective "side" of our offense. I remember someone commenting on how much more the OL seemed to want to block for Burton than they do for Brantley. The way I understand it, it has nothing to do with favoring one over the other, but all to do with the fact that they've been trained to block, and have a greater comfort level with the plays that are run with Burton at QB. Since Meyer also has a greater comfort level with the spread option than he does with the spread, going forward we'll likely see Loeffler's (and Brantley's) contributions in smaller percentages than we have so far.

Given his NFL coaching experience, he seems like the logical guy to help retool this offense with Brantley, unless he has been a bust. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us-- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
