Richardson was going pro or transferring

I'm not sure why he wouldn't keep that to himself.

Whether it is true or not, it doesn't help build his brand, doesn’t make the current staff look good (and Richardson and Pearsall are the two former players the official social media sites hype the most), and actually, potentially, could ailinate Gators' fans.

It doesn’t serve a purpose.

I really don't understand this adoration of Richardson.
What has he really accomplished in his career so far?
He got drafted fourth in the NFL mostly based on his athletic ability, and not his QB skills.
I understand he's still relatively inexperienced and could perhaps win MVPs, Super Bowls, etc.
But listening to the video, it seems he just keeps making excuses for himself - "oh, woah is me for starting my first game against the #1 defense in country" - and the coaching staff is to blame for that???
I didn't necessarily interpret a dig on the current coaching staff as much as another excuse that he had to learn a new offense under a new coaching staff.
As if this will never happen to him in the NFL?
He also mentions injuries and coming off surgery ....
In his first three games under Napier, he had 0 TDs and 4 interceptions before he threw for 453 yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception against Tennessee, in a loss.
And he credited spending extra time with the receivers in his better performance in that game.
And I remembered my reaction to hearing that was why hasn't he been doing that since spring - he had to wait until after the third game to do that????
In my opinion, Florida benefited with him moving on.

I agree with Drumlin that we are better off without him. Not because he couldn't play but he, like Mullen, had given up and didn't care anymore about the team.

I hope he does great in the NFL but he started going half ass about halfway through his last season in college.
