The Florida Gators have a long history of using two quarterbacks over the course of a game, and it's the right time to do it again.
The cliched football adage "if you have two quarterbacks, you have none" thankfully fell on inattentive ears in Gainesville. With a sterling history of deploying multiple quarterbacks, the
Freshman phenom DJ Lagway appears like the heir apparent to Graham Mertz. With that said, why not let the freshmen see some field time in 2024. While this situation, if not handled properly by coaches could end up in a volatile situation. The reasons behind Lagway seeing the field are numerous, and all of them will help the team right now and in the future. History rests on the side of the two-quarterback system.
Now, on the field, the transition looked seamless. Off the field, Dean languished behind the new starter. That part of the transition did not feel right. At the same time, Spurrier began to craft the team in his image. Wuerffel left Gainesville with a degree, a flatbed full of individual awards and a national championship.then a blue-chip recruit that needed field time. As a freshman, Florida let Tebow get his legs under him.
To his credit, much like Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer shifted the quarterback situation with skill. Tebow went on to claim a national title, Heisman and the undying loyalty of every Gators fan. This duo will be remembered as the most successful back-to-back starting quarterbacks in program history.Graham Mertz is neither Wuerffel, Dean, Leak or Tebow. Instead, he's a transfer looking to play well, win games and possibly improve draft stock.
As a result, if the team wants a productive 2025, then the freshman needs time to play in 2024. Talent should not burn a year just holding a clipboard. The dual-threat dynamic forces defenses to react and that pressure will make a defender overreact, forget discipline and pursuit angle, allowing him to exploit errors. DJ Lagway looks to have the feeling of the fanbase and history in his corner.
