Take them for what you will.

1) You cannot judge a quarterback by what he does against the number one team in the country when he comes in late in a game, behind on the scoreboard, and backed up on his own five yard line. That is not a recipe for success. However…

2) If Gray were really that good, he would be starting by now. Therefore…

3) It is going to be Murray’s show next year.

Murry in 2010 with Gray (once again) as the backup.

Judging Logan Gray by what he did against Florida is no more fair than judging D.J. Shockley by what he did against Georgia Tech in 2004. That said, there is no “redshirt” excuse hampering Gray’s playing time. If he’d earned it, he’d be getting it.

If Joe Cox is going to start Saturday—-and it is clear that he is—-I want him to get out when we’re up by two touchdowns. Let Gray finish out the first half or play the first series or two of the third quarter, then give Murray a good 25 or 30 minutes of playing time. He’s got to take his lumps sometime; now is as good a time as any, and a darned sight better than next year.

that Murray and Mettenberger will take a shirt. So, that leaves us with no other choice but to develop Logan Gray the rest of the way. I think Gray needs to play no matter what the scoreboard says. We need to see how he handles adversity…not just in the short term sense like being backed up inside your own 10 yard line with the Florida defense staring you down. He needs to get out there, succeed, fail, succeed some more, fail some more and then get evaluated.

Going forward into 2010, It’ll be Gray’s job to lose. But from what I hear, a healthy Aaron Murray (with no disrespect to Zach Mettenberger) is truly a weapon; mobility and a very strong arm. I just wonder if it is a mistake not burning his ‘shirt and letting him get reps. I’ll have to trust Richt on this one, but I’d rather have Gray and Murray come into the new season with some prior, meaningful experience.
