Brantley not the first to replace a Gator QB icon

"John Brantley faces the daunting task of replacing a legendary Florida football player and former Heisman-winning quarterback this fall. He is not the first to go through this.

The article states that the next two years will be interesting. What are everyone's thoughts on Brantley leaving early for the draft after only a year, assuming he has a solid year this year? I think he will be around two more years, barring injury, and will do well.

He would have to have a lights out year to leave early for the draft. Locker, Mallett, and Luck are all projected as 1st round talent, and they all have experience under their belt. Some are talking about Kellen Moore and Case Keenum as potential draftees as well.

JB isnt going anywhere after this year cuz of the other talent coming out mention above


and we dont have very good back ups in place

I don't believe Johnny will be explosive, however I do believe he will be consistent and a game manager.

another point look at who's before him, tebow and leak

i dont think he wants to leave after 1 yr without giving his best shot to win a title
