They absolutely are admitting it now. I’ve seen it all over the internet.

And yet their OL was supposed to be Top 5, and better than both ours and Notre Dame’s.

No way they'd let him have a headset

I've been watching all these podcast of these hicks admitting that they "didn't lie, but ignored signs about how it might not be better." I mean I am baffled by how stupid the people covering this team are and the sheep who just lap up all the copium
The DJ stuff just sends me, the amount of fake hype around that kid is baffling even to an extent @DMoney has bought some. He isn't good, he's AR all over

I don’t think he’s Anthony Richardson.
Richardson was a bad player in high school while Lagway set records. Lagway also has better character.
To me, he’s a very talented, inconsistent player with a bad team and bad coaching.

Yes.
I love Love LOVE mocking The Gator. But we have to be honest, DJ Lagway is a talented QB who has been wracked with injuries and saddled with horrendous coaching & playcalling.
I'm not saying he will ever win a Heisman or be drafted in the first round or make it into the NFL Hall of Fame.
But Lagway is a good QB who needs to take a year off to heal, and Florida needs to hire an OC/QB Coach who can develop him.

Fair to say that he is more talented, and maybe its just the system that is killing him, But he isn't anything right now missing open throws left and right. I think it's fair to say that people have over hyped him even if he can reach higher people crowned him way too fast.

"We know you didn't get the Egg McMuffin and hash browns that you ordered, right? But the team here at McDonald's works hard and has good character, right? We will continue to work on your Egg McMuffin until we get it right, right? Please pull around to the drive-through parking SPOT THE BALL!"

Everything you say may be true. But it's impossible to deny that he has had MULTIPLE injuries that have eliminated nearly every opportunity for him to practice and throw for the last 8 months.
No matter how much talent a QB has, practice and repetition are absolutely necessary, particularly in the younger years of development. Sure, maybe Aaron Rodgers can miss most of training camp and then equal Al Bundy's high school record of 4 touchdowns in one game. But I'm willing to bet that he couldn't do that when he was 18 or 19 years old.
He's missing open throws due to lingering injuries and an absolute lack of meaningful practice time (regardless of the staged photo opp practice time), and not due to lack of talent or too much hype. As for the hype, it is mistimed. Any Gator fan with a brain would be dialing back the hype until Lagway can practice regularly and play efficiently.

Lagway needs to check his weird loyalty to Napier and do what’s best for him after the year. Hit the portal and go to a guy that has proven to develop QBs like a Lincoln Riley, Lane Kiffin, or a Mario Cristobal.

Player development is still a thing, and the portal is exposing that, where teams are bringing in even lower level developed QBs and making huge leaps, while exposing the deficiencies of most high school QBs. I think the high school QBs and coaches are gonna have to start being real and know they should be taking multiple years in the offseason before they are ready and set up for success.

There’s too many talented high school qbs who fade into obscurity to name. Unfortunately, he and his family ignored the warning signs with Billy and stuck with it. Unfortunately, that loyalty could very well cost him an nfl career. I don’t wish any ill will to him, but he should’ve done better research when any qb developing coach in the country would’ve been happy to have his commitment
