I was excited about Lingard too, but there were legit concerns about him as you pointed out. To set the scene at the time, CIS staff writers were comparing Lingard to Todd Gurley, nd that was AFTER he seeing him in a full Spring practice, and there weren't too many people disagreeing with that...

Correct - talent and and place on the depth chart are 2 completely separate things. The more talented player isn't always higher on the depth chart. I feel like you think I'm saying Lingard was higher than Cam on the depth chart as Freshman to prove Lingard was more talented - and I'm not...

100% agree. RB is more instinctual and physical while WR is more nuanced and technical. RB is a quicker adjustment IMO

EXACTLY

You just gave reasons (all of which are legitimate) as to why Cam wasn't ahead of Lingard from day 1 and the depth chart is silly. So then why do you post things like "Lingard was immediately behind Cam Harris the moment he stepped foot on campus" and "It should be noted that Cam'Ron Harris was...

My point is you can say - "Cam was always the more talented RB, despite the fact that Lingard was higher on the depth chart and was getting more playing time when they were Freshmen" Both can be true without having to make up how things actually happened.

Yes - the coaches wanted to give 5 Star Lingard more touches - and they did so by putting him ahead of Cam on the depth chart. You can have your opinion. But the facts remain: Lingard got more carries than Cam Lingard got carries in games where Cam didn't Lingard got carries on drives before...

Yeah - it's just funny how things are remembered sometimes. Even though Lingard was clearly ahead of Cam as Freshmen, Cam was clearly ahead of Lingard as Sophomores. But then again, Lingard was clearly behind walk-on Jimmy Murphy as a Sophomore - which kind of undermines it being a straight...

The importance of pass blocking is an often repeated thing, but it's really such a very small % of importance for what a RB does. What's important is the ability to run the ball. You don't have to be good in pass protection, you just have to not be absolutely terrible.

@DMoney & @OriginalCanesCanesCanes - 100% Cam has had a far better career than Lingard. There's no argument against that. BUT - we don't have to skew facts to make that case. Here's what actually happened.... Stats at the time of Lingards injury in the UVA game in 2018: Lingard - 17-136...

I have no idea why this has been universally accepted as true, but it's absolutely false. Lingard was 100% ahead of Cam on the depth chart before his knee injury. Lingard unfortunate knee injury, bad choice in transfer - but it's a fact Lingard was ahead of Cam before he got injured.

The Gators depth chart and rotation makes very little sense to me. I'll be surprised if this depth chart looks the same at the end of the year.
