Got a question through fanmail I thought I'd share:

Savagator asks: Does anybody see John Brantley getting much PT this year, or will he redshirt ?

FleaCDP: After signing with UF, Brantley and his dad both indicated they wanted John to redshirt in 2007. This seems to be the plan, as behind Tim Tebow the Gators have incoming freshman Cam Newton and juco transfer Bryan Waggener on the QB depth chart. Newton was an early enrollee and participated in spring practice, so don't be surprised if he earns the backup spot by fall. It will be important during Florida's early games against Western Kentucky and Troy to get the backup(s) some quality playing time, in case of injury to Tebow down the road.
