'13 OH QB Malik Zaire (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[wizards8507]

Malik Zaire to start at quarterback for Florida Gators

 

[GoldenDomer]

What a mess of a program.

 

[IrishLion]

I could see Malik going 4-0 against the remaining schedule.

Mizzou - Hot trash with a decent offense; UF defense *should* be up to the task if Malik gets the offense moving

South Carolina - Hot trash with a decent defense; UF wins the game if Malik can get them to 21 points

UAB - Not bad... but shouldn't be up for beating UF regardless of the situation

FSU - Rivalry. Throw it all out the window and let Malik run wild.

 

[Luckylucci]

If I'm Shannon, I'm running zone/read all game, every game and hoping to grind out yards and opponents with what has always been a good defense.

That's why this seemed like a no-brainer decision to me.

South Carolina actually is pretty decent albeit very young. 6-2 with a win over NC State. But I hope Malik balls out the rest of the year. Finish out his career strong.

Good luck to him, this will be his last chance to show what he can do. I don't follow UF much at all so I have no idea what their potential W/L record will be but I hope he fares well.

I doubt he has much of a shot at the next level after college though. Almost definitely not as a QB.

I would greatly enjoy this!

I'm tuning in

13 of 19 for 158 yards and 1 interception. 6 rushes for 17 yards. Franks played the last two series. Gators lose 45-16 to Missouri.

 

[Riddickulous]

How is Florida this terrible?

 

[NDMIA]

The new coach needs to come in and absolutely clean house. And I mean get rid of kids, coaches, and all sorts of people around this program. It’s TOXIC right now. Some horrible attitudes on that sideline. Tim Tebow is long gone so they can’t just walk into another team’s stadium and beat them. They suck right now. Plain and simple

I am actually fine with this state of affairs.

 

[Luckylucci]

Not good, didnt realize how bad they were yesterday.

I am fine with this state of affairs, except for the fact that means Miami gets even more recruits than usual...I don't like that since we end up playing them in the ACC.

Was having a decent game. Hit and came down awkward after a long run. Stayed in and then went down on his own that same play. Now in injury tent.

Probably the most encouraging run of plays all season for UF with the big run by the RB and then Zaire. And then of course Zaire goes down. Just not UF’s year.

 

[IrishLion]

There was a lot of forward movement in that lower leg when they were giving him the Lachman test on the field after he went down. I thought for sure he was done with an ACL.

Poor guy can’t catch a break.

He's up and looks mobile again walking around. Not sure WTF it is.

Florida could be down to one scholarship quarterback available if Malik Zaire's injury is serious.

Thomas Goldkamp - 3 hours ago

Florida could be down to one scholarship quarterback available against UAB next week after starter Malik Zaire went down with an apparent knee injury in the second quarter against South Carolina.

The injury-decimated Gators entered Saturday's game with just 56 healthy and available players who were recruited to Florida on scholarship. They finished at 53.

And Zaire was one of the casualties.

"I cannot tell you what’s going on until we get back to Gainesville," interim coach Randy Shannon said, unclear at the time on the severity of the injury.

Zaire suffered the injury following a 23-yard run that got Florida into the red zone. After he left and was checked out by trainers, Zaire jogged around on the sideline, testing the injury.

After on play, Zaire re-entered the game. Florida called a designed run for him to the left, and Zaire collapsed before anyone could touch him, taking a 6-yard loss.

He left and did not re-enter the game.

"After he collapsed, we took him out because we didn’t know the seriousness of his injury," Shannon said. "So we took him out."

Zaire reportedly wanted to play, but Shannon decided against allowing that after speaking to team doctors.

"He came out at halftime and I walked up to him and said, ‘I can’t do it to you,'" Shannon said. "'We’re OK here, we’ll be alright with Feleipe (Franks). Even though you’re the starter, we can’t do this do you.' He just started crying. I cannot put anybody in that situation."

Did anybody else see this? I never did see any context as to what prompted this tweet. Thought it was odd.

I think it's from the rumors of certain top quarterbacks not being thrilled about becoming a Cleveland Brown.

This poor kid.

That makes sense. There has been a lot of that talk.

 

[stlnd01]

Pretty sure it's because he loves sitting behind Kizer so much.

What does Cleveland do with Kizer? Trade him, I guess? He could still be a good NFL QB. In two years.

What a shit show that team is.

Legit praying that they trade him to the Pats. NE doesn't have a young QB to develop on the roster anymore and if they think DK can develop they can probably get him pretty cheap considering it sounds like the Browns have moved on. Plus I would love the outrage from Browns fans if he goes to the Pats, develops for a few years and comes out looking like Jimmy G.

They are an embarrassment to any professional sports team.

I had hopes he'd go to the Steelers...now I think the reclamation project necessitates emulating Tom's approach to the game, not Ben's. The best thing for DK would be the Patriots...or a place that had an O-line, and where he was under P Manning's direction every single day for a few years.
