Scouting John Brantley

[angus82]

Havent seen much tape on the kid. But I dont watch Gator football.

Is he any good?

[cmhatter]

yes

pro style qb with all the tools to go to the nfl

only thing that can hold him back is that system that the urb runs

[rayzofheat]

Brantley is the x factor in this game. There is really not much we can do to prepare for him considering there is very limited tape to watch.

[lewdtenant]

I'm hoping our defense can put some pressure on him early. And that BJ can get settled in. Then we'll have ourselves a BALLGAME BABY

John Brantley | QB

Scouts Grade: 84         

Overall Rank: #25           

Rating: *****

Position rank:  QB # 4

Height 6'3"

Weight 205 lbs.

Evaluation:

Brantley is a very polished, poised passer. He has nice size, a very live arm, is smart guy and plays with a lot of confidence. He is what you would call a pocket passer comfortable when he has to throw on the run. He is a very good play-action passer...

[Bull-by-Marriage]

Second game of the season for us, and for them. Brantley is most likely going to be an awesome QB, let's just hope that it starts the 3rd game of the year.

[Bull Dozer]

If we don't put him on the ground early and often it's going to be a very long game. 

[smazza]

yes

[Raetus]

I watched the Spring Game and he looked pretty ready for the job; I agree that he needs to be on the ground early and often.

[Woogie53]

I don't see how good the kid can be, if Meyer came out right away and said that he's pulling him on 3rd & short plays.

Or maybe that means that Meyer doesn't know how to run a pro-style offense on 3rd & short and just his gimmicky spread offense, which has just 4 plays.

There have been MANY MANY MANY top qb recruits out of high school that bust out when they finally start.
