Lot of preseason agonizing over wheter or not Leake will succeed in the offense at Fla this year. Lot of agonizing over wheter or not Meyer can/will adapt his offense to fit Leakes talent. From Article on SI.Com Offensive Controversy at Fla
That article is bunk. The kid is a great college QB regardless of whether or not his team wins the SEC or national championship. To compare him to Brady Quinn is unfair to both young men. Sportswriters. Ptooey! SI sportswriters. Double Ptooey!
I agree with Sid. This is one of those made-up controversies that sportswriters love, because they're not real writers. Leake will do just fine and so will Urban and so will Tebow when he finally gets his chance. All of this brouhaha can only hurt Tebow. He's being treated as the savior of a program that doesn't need one. He's also being treated as the answer to a QB "problem" that exists only in the minds of the sportswriters who're demanding a higher level of performance from an athlete who is already near the top. If Leake or Tebow had gone to New Mexico State or ULaLa would we even be talking about this? ...........JO'Co :x
In Ron Zook's last home game vs. SC two years ago I witnessed Chris Leak absolutely annihilate what was supposedly a decent SC defense led by Lou Holtz in his last season there. Chris was used to the O by then and it was a drop-back throw the ball down the field style that he absolutely excelled in. He will be an excellent pro in the right offense.
More needless speculation on Leak. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/sioncampus/vent/ The kid's a stud with an oh-so accurate arm and I predict he will...WILL this team to an SEC Championship in this...his final season at Florida.
Hey this time I agree with all of you. I'm a fan of Leak and am glad he came to Florida. I think he is going to have an outstanding senior season.
