Been having this conversation in a few threads and with friends, and with all this complete nonsense on Twitter about talent vs execution blah blah, I want some opinions.

Please, please, please take your orange and green glasses off for a minute. I promise you, mine are off. I’m being as objective as I possibly can.

My question is, of everyone on FSU’s roster, RIGHT NOW (meaning I think Kevin Wynn looked good against us, but he’s a true freshman and that was his first game), how many kids on that roster start and/or play rotational minutes for us? Not garbage time. A starter or a kid who is in the regular rotation. An Armondo Blount role, for example.

Here’s how I see it, I want your thoughts:

QB - LOL

RB - MAYBE Kromah, but I don’t think so right this minute. He looks like he’s going to be good, but he’s not getting much burn in this backfield right now

WR - Robinson, 100%. Probably starts. I think we’d find a role for Danzy, that speed is very appealing. That’s it.

TE - Pittman has impressed me. I think he’s better than Bauman, him and Lofton would be the TE rotation

OL - Not a chance

DL - Jackson 100%. That’s literally it. MAYBE a Desir twin? But I’m going no right now.

LB - No ******* shot

DBs - No ******* shot.

So, I count 2 for sure starters/heavy rotation kids (Duce, D. Jack), one “1B” player in Pittman. And 2 maybes (Kromah, Desir)

THATS ******* PATHETIC, MIKE!! Dear god, even in Jimbo’s heyday we had more than 2 ******* kids here who would play there. And these muppets have the audacity to chalk that game up to anything other than a MASSIVE talent disadvantage? You have 3 goddamned kids on your whole team who would get into games at Miami. But no, your talent is fine. You just didn’t execute. That’d be like me pitching to a team of 8 year old all-stars. They’re good players! They just didn’t hit the ball. Well no ****, I’m Randy Johnsoning the pill right by those little *****. They have no chance. The fact you’re not making these plays is the very definition of why you lost…because you don’t have good football players.

Anyway, thoughts? Some of you are more familiar with the roster than I am. And we all just watched them play, many of us a couple times on rewatch too. Am I missing anyone?

I think this is pretty fair.

More UF kids would play at UM than FSU kids playing at UM.

The high school recruiting/lack thereof is killing FSU.
 
The U is back to work said:
I would have said the same two players. Duce would kill it here as would Jackson.

They’re both good players. I thought Jackson played his *** off on Saturday. I’m not saying they’re some high end first-round picks, before people crucify me for, god forbid, saying something remotely positive about someone from another program. But amongst the adults here, both those kids are plenty good enough to contribute on this team.

But is that really it? Has Mike really broken fsu that badly?!?
 
Definitely could see a few more gators than noles

Really was impressed with their team top to bottom… it’s not surprising that they need that gimmicky offense to keep up with real teams because they would be getting blown out weekly

Danzy would be a nice speed add I guess Kromah is another tough runner than Mario did recruit and you can see why.

Pittman is nice but he’s not better than a healthy lofton.

Jackson is a player in the middle if he gives a **** about trying.. dude has no motor and will quit. Rotational player that plays a position maybe 2nd or 3rd importance behind QB and DE/DT depending how you grade it
 
Gimme:

- Duce
- Kromah
- Pittman
- Danzy
- D Jack
- Desir Twins
- Lawayne McCoy
- Jayvan Boggs

I don't think everyone would start so I guess if that was the purpose of the thread then maybe not McCoy or Boggs, but both those guys and Desir and Kromah look like future NFL players in my opinion.

Since absolutely nobody asked....from UF:

- Lagway
- Baugh
- VB3
- Dallas Wilson of course
- Sapp
- Banks (if healthy)
- Myles Graham
- Cormani
- Jayden Woods
- LJ McCray
- Maybe Jordan Castell

Not saying I would want all those guys starting, but they could all play here for sure.

Was him leaving to be close to family legit? I do wonder if he regrets leaving … along with both Horton’s & Colbie Young

Jayvan Boggs? He has 5 catches in his career. Is he better than Josh Moore right now? Moore played, what? 3 snaps? Boggs is not playing right now at Miami. Neither is Lawayne McCoy. Would both Desir twins play? Are you saying if they were on the roster, they’d rotate in and spell Bain and/or Mesidor, and the reason those kids are playing almost every snap is we don’t have backups as good as those 2 kids?

I asked for opinions, and you gave yours. So I respect and appreciate it. I disagree with the Boggs and McCoy. But the Desir kids are interesting, I think Mario would definitely take them now in hindsight, but would they actually play?

I’ll give you those two. That’s 7, total. And as far as Kromah, if we assume Lyle doesn’t get hurt, do you think he’s playing when games are in doubt ahead of Fletcher, Brown or Lyle? I can’t say I agree. And I’m not sure we’d be playing 4 backs. I think he’s probably got Pringle’s role, at best.

Yes that's really it and yes Mike has really broken them that badly! The funny thing is that many of their fans are just now waking up from the delusion they have been under for the past 5 years and it was the belt to A$$ we administered Saturday that finally woke them up. To be fair it did take many of them until after a rewatch for the reality to finally sink in for them. They finally realized the 4th quarter was practically meaningless and just part of their coping strategy lol.
