Am I the only one who remembered that Meyer would pull Brantley in red zone situations, and stick him back in during third and a long prayer situations? The first fact dramatically decreased his TD production and the second upped his interceptions. It was a terrible overthought strategy. Before we went down that path let's look at Brantley's TD to Int ratio: 2010 (1st 4 games): 6 to 1 2009: 7 to 0 2008: 3 to 1 A national player of the year QB that, at one point, had a 16 to 2 TD to Int ratio scattered over three years of part time play seems like a pretty good asset to me; not a reclamation project. I bet that UF could fire Weis, hire me, and Brantley would still have better stats this year than last. -Zeb -- 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
