That's what we see on the field, GainesvillebirnNraised, but is it really all JB's fault? At this point, he's running (loping? limping? moseying?) scared, but is that the way it would have turned out by now if he'd been used the way we were given to understand was the plan, ie. if the overall scheme was adapted around him?
By now he looks like a ghost of what we all once saw in him; he may very well be "ruined", from a psychological/attitudinal P.O.V. He certainly does "bail" on any chance at throwing long, at this point (Remember the first couple of games, when he threw several beautiful bombs right on the money downfield--only to have them go right through Thompson's hands and fall away harmlessly?). He never even LOOKS long anymore, let alone try to throw it there--are these plays even called now? Is it JB's choice to immediately check off, or has Addazio's play calling gone this route as well, as I suspect?
Meanwhile, speaking of "attitude", that's why I'm a Trey Burton fan now too--he at least (and, I'm sad to say, almost ALONE) has a fire about him to go along with his obvious talent (again, there's talent all OVER the field on both sides of the ball for the Gators--and whether it's injury, misuse or poor chemistry it has landed this TEAM in that "Bottom Ten"), and it seems to catch on with the rest of the players around him to some extent when he comes on the field.
Not saying he's "the guy", the answer long term, but there's a lesson (and HOPE) there for the whole team (including the coaching staff), and I DO enjoy watching the offense more when he's in there. THAT counts for something.
