That’s great if you are a fan of your team. ****, I’m excited about Rashada and Emory who haven’t graduated high school. But in no sane universe does AR belong on Heisman watch and certainly not on an NFL fantasy football watch for next year. Not with these stats below.
2 weeks.
These writers haven’t seen jack imo. They aren’t evaluating him at camp. They have tape of a few games which he didn’t exactly light it up. So no, I don’t believe they see the goods. They see others hyping and are all piggybacking. Not saying he can’t do these things. But based on factual tape, he doesn’t deserve to be projected to this status….not yet.
But didn’t the new staff basically do the same thing about “wanting to come to UF” by making high level recruits submit a video? I wouldn’t give them a pass yet because we haven’t seen the decommitment wave that may happen if the startnn be of the year is underwhelming.
AR definitely has the potential to be great, but it’s certainly not a guarantee. By all accounts, he has all the tools. However, his stats from last year are meh. Also, the buzz from your 2 scrimmages doesn’t eliminate potential concern over accuracy and/or decision making. Those last two things are a huge deal in big time college football. He will have half a second to make decisions on where/how to throw the football. Great quarterbacks can analyze and execute on an elite level. Rightfully so, there are concerns on whether AR will produce in those situations. He very well could succeed in those situations, but it’s definitely not a guarantee.
I would add that if he had athletic playmakers on the field in college he would be able to overcome those other aspects. But it doesn’t appear that he has targets that are going to be open at will.
I try to be fair in my assessments.
To be fair, our fan base talks about García the same way.
