You have to stay with lagway and keep your foot on the pedal with this offense. Mertz can't make those throws so then you're forced to go back to the check down offense. It's a business and not playing the best player bc of empathy will get you fired. Billy would lose the locker room and they players won't play with the same intensity. The WRs knew DJ could get them the ball, so they were playing faster and harder. We need to ride this momentum into next week bc right now, those players believe they can hang with anyone, but if we go back to mertz, we will go back to the dink and dunk offense
Not sure I’d say he’s fully ready but he’s def the guy. Plus it’s speculation but I think the team probably wants that. I saw Wilson’s post game interview and I could feel that energy
Dj is a beast I'm not a Florida Gators fan but the kid is definitely a baller but if I'm Florida I'm still concerned because there is no way in hell you're playing Samford and you are only up two touchdowns going into half that's not going to cut it in the SEC
Billy Napier is getting canned either way, but if he pulls Lagway he should be out the door right away. 4-8 is the ceiling for this team. Getting DJ and the other freshman ready for next year is really all that matters.
@@DaveyJones26 Yep. I’ve never been more happy to be totally wrong. After the first half of the season I would have bet anything that Napier was toast. Mullen went 29-9 his first three years and got canned, I just didn’t see Napier making it. But starting with the Tennessee game the Gators honestly have looked like a playoff worthy team when Lagway is healthy. I still think Napier blew it big time by not going for 2 at the end of that game (imo you have to go for the win on the road with a true freshman QB) but otherwise he completely turned things around on a dime. He absolutely earned more time as head coach. And as long as Lagway and Baugh don’t jump ship, the Gators should start next year ranked in the top 15. The schedule the Gators played this year was also insane, easily the toughest schedule in the country. I never thought I could be happy with a 7-5 season but as long as we take care of business Saturday I will be.
I would say napier would have to be stupid to not start him because he is the only hope of saving his job but napier is stupid so i fully expect mertz to start
Having this guy and sitting him n the bench for a 6 year senior who is mediocre at best would be criminal. This guy must start. You recruit the number one qb in the country PLAY HIM!!!
The fact that he's dropping these bombs with some of the worst footwork I've ever seen is remarkable. He's got elite arm talent and the it factor to be a future college superstar
@@Hans_Wermhat very interesting. Idk if I like it though. I feel like he'd have a lot more accurate throws and could get the ball out quicker if he focused on his feet.
As a Tennessee fan, Dj needs to play more than mertz. He is way better than him. If Dj can learn this offense quick before sec play he might save Billy from losing his job.
Dude is just making plays
Delivers a pretty ball
He’s a natural at QB

Facts
Couldn’t have said it better myself
This guy is special. The end
Future NFL stud.
New Florida gators fan here, but A long time dj fan.
Welcome! DJ is for real
He fits the Offense better & has a better touch than Mertz, he’s Ready
Facts

going back to merhtz would be a mistake
DJ is definitely living up to his 'greatest QB ever' hype from those recruiting blogs. FU is going to enjoy many undefeated seasons against Samford.
Read what you just wrote again dummy

Run week 1 back with starting Lagway 😤😤😤

Stfu clown aways haters against Florida lmfao get a life.
Looking more like 8-5 if we beat FSwho and our bowl. DJs the man.

That DJ long ball looks an awful lot like a Chris Leak long ball.. I Liiiike
He beating Texas A&M today, he Nice, Florida offense didn’t look like this the first week, it Look dangerous with Him, Elijah Nice to at WR
I would say napier would have to be stupid to not start him because he is the only hope of saving his job but napier is stupid so i fully expect mertz to start
Blow seed clown you’re from Miami of course you’re talking shit 🤡 DJ would have shit on Miami
Lagway better start avoiding some of those hits. This isn't high school and you're no longer the biggest, strongest guy on the field. Go Canes! 🙌🏾
Y'all need to stick with this kid. Looks good

He's a baseball player. That explains his confidence throwing without perfect footwork.
@@Hans_Wermhat very interesting. Idk if I like it though. I feel like he'd have a lot more accurate throws and could get the ball out quicker if he focused on his feet.
Why even risk lagway entering the portal give him playing time and up his nil.
I hope they abandon his run plays. He has a hell of an arm, should use his legs to avoid sacks
if Lagway is not starting in AM, I quit this team forever.

That’s funny because Mertz passed all over Tennessee
Reminds me of Jalen Hurts when he was a freshman
Jalen couldn't throw as a freshman
He had a concussion why was he allowed to keep playing
