I've read and heard so many excuses and arguments made on both Brantley's and (believe it or not) Addazio's behalf (though considerably fewer in the latter case) elsewhere on the 'net that I find myself sometimes shaking my head and loudly proclaiming "No, no, NO!" to an otherwise empty room.
You just want to "cut thru' the sh*t" sometimes and get these folks to face FACTS--and maybe a compilation-sequence of "JB's Greatest Misses"! (As far as I can decipher, those few watching--besides Urban Meyer--who don't see ADDAZIO'S abject failure and ineptitude as our OC believe that, aside from injuries, it is essentially everyone ELSE'S fault.)
You're right, of course: Brantley hasn't cut it, by ANY measure, and he has HAD his opportunities--if not to win, always, certainly to show at least FLASHES of his much-hyped skills. Hasn't happened. No sign.
And yes, he IS regressing. I don't understand the reasons that Meyer, Addazio, WHOMEVER continue to accept this trend (All together: "He grades out a Champion!"), indeed to insist that it will continue in some form right into next season. That 3-headed-thing turns out to be just another way to keep Brantley on the field with the better choices, seems to me--wastes an otherwise useful spot most of the time, too (how often are you going to throw that Reed-to-Brantley pass, and does the threat of it make the rest worthwhile?).
Sorry, I could keep on going but I know y'all see and have your own versions of most of this...
The main point is that we can see these problems and downward trends--but can see little sign that the coaches do, or are doing much about any of them. In fact, to the contrary: they ignore them and keep heading in the same (what seems to most Gators clearly) wrong direction.
