I’m glad we have him over Daniels NGL, Lagway will throw a pick then throw a 25 yard perfect dart. Lagway is playing roulette while Daniels is eating glue

Lagway shows flashes of "he could be good" in between being not good.

Daniels never gives you the impression he could ever be good.

Ah the Anthony Richardson special

Breaks three tackles, hurdles two defenders, and outruns the entire secondary on his way to a 90-yard rush

Throws pick in the endzone

Well it’s all about consistency.

Never seen anybody be so optimistic in Lagway. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure I guess

Tbf he’s not the first QB to improve significantly after spending time under Spav’s development.

Bit early to say Lagway has improved though, given that his stats from the one game are worse than his previous averages.

seriously. he looked like exactly the same guy to me this weekend

u/Nytfire333 Florida Gators • USF Bulls Sep 08 '26

Yep, didn’t see anything new, flashes of some great throws followed by absolute bone headed mistakes like the throw behind the receiver on the 2 pt

He did have what appeared to be a pretty legit ankle injury, fwiw. Wasn't able to watch most of the game but I saw just before halftime, he had two linemen helping him limp to the locker room.

And he wouldn't be the first (or second, or third) QB to improve after leaving UF

Speaking of leaving Florida and subsequently thriving under Spav, I wonder how Will Grier's doing.

u/onrocketfalls Florida Gators • Sickos Sep 08 '26

I don't know if I can actually trust Google anymore, but it says he's on the Cowboys roster, which is a pleasant surprise

Yup. That was the hardest part to watch. For every 3-5 horrible throws he’d throw one where you are like “no one else could’ve made that throw”

It just wasn’t worth it
