Why Anthony Richardson Should be the Gators New Starting Quarterback

The Florida football program has been dealing with the potential transfer of their starting quarterback Emory Jones. While he has not transferred as of yet, he told ESPN in December this past season that he would be entering the transfer portal, despite not entering to this day. With this, the Florida Gators have had to figure out what their future looks like without Emory to prepare for his departure. This comes down to Anthony Richardson, a rising sophomore in 2022 who started against Georgia for the Gators in 2021, and newly acquired transfer QB Jack Miller.

Odds are as long as Richardson looks good in the practices and camps prior to the 2022 season, he will be the starter this coming season, due to a variety of reasons.
