Most college football media members can’t /don’t watch the games. They see that Florida had a winning streak to end the year that turned their season around. They see that it coincided with a quarterback change. They automatically credit the quarterback for the season turn around.
If I’m a Florida fan, I’m excited about DJ because he’s shown potential but if we’re being realistic he hasn’t shown any kind of ability to carry the team and the offense wasn’t particularly great with him taking snaps. I think UF fans and some media members are really setting the kid up to fail. They should be hoping for a bit more consistency and some better accuracy but they’re already penciling in Heisman votes and he’s nowhere near that level.
