fukk what people say. This is a good pickup considering they lost Winston and if puts them right back in a position to compete again for a title. They can figure out there long term QB when the time comes. But with the chance to get someone like Gholston who is more then credible QB I don't blame them for going after him.

Cook is a beast. But the true freshman is a monster. Jacques Patrick will see no redshirt. How did we get bomb true freshmen two years in a row? :wow:

I expect to see Mario Pender to see limited action again. He is always hurt and didn't do much when he did play:francis:

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
IS FSU A PLAYOFF TEAM NOW WITH GOLSON????

http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/82206/is-florida-state-a-playoff-contender-with-everett-golson
With the news Tuesday that Everett Golson is joining Florida State, the question becomes: How much better are the Seminoles with the Notre Dame transfer? Florida State is reeling from the turnover that affects every program, but will Golson help make up for the losses?

Jimbo Fisher voiced his concern about the new playoff system creating unrealistic annual expectations for the top-tier programs, but in this new era of playoff appearances will be the new measure when evaluating coaches and programs.

With that said, does Golson make Florida State a contender? ACC writers Andrea Adelson and Jared Shanker debate.

Shanker says Florida State is a contender.

Regardless of who plays quarterback, the Seminoles will not be anywhere near as good in 2015 as they have been the past three seasons. Florida State has lost 29 players to the NFL draft the past three seasons, including the No. 1 pick (Jameis Winston) in the most recent draft. The starting lineup on both sides will be unrecognizable come September.

Sean Maguire. The redshirt junior Maguire understands the offense and has the arm strength most signal-callers covet. Golson is the more physically talented player, though, and if the belief is he will have a smooth transition into Fisher’s offense -- Golson’s football acuity will be tested -- he likely gives Florida State the best chance to win. And then those perceived losses on the schedule don’t look so definite.

There are not always going to be four easily identifiable playoff teams. It’s hard to envision at any point Florida State being one of the four best teams, but if 2015 is one of those years without a clear delineation between playoff-worthy teams and the rest, Florida State will at least have its name tossed around if it wins the conference.

That clears the contender threshold. Now, don’t ask me whether I’d wager any money on the Seminoles, AA.

Adelson calls the Seminoles pretenders.

If Florida State was one player away from competing for a third straight national championship run, then the addition of Everett Golson would catapult the Seminoles into the College Football Playoff conversation.

Unfortunately, the Seminoles must replace more than Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jameis Winston. That is only one reason among several why signing Golson won’t change Florida State’s fortunes much this season.

To start, Florida State must replace seven starters on offense. Dalvin Cook is a menace in the backfield, but here is what will impact Golson more: four new starters on the offensive line and no proven go-to receiver (or tight end, for that matter).

That receiver group drew Fisher’s ire at various points during the spring because it was too inconsistent. It also is an inescapable fact that Golson was sacked 27 times last year, and that should be cause for concern.

Golson simply will not have the same supporting cast Winston did a year ago. That leads to the next issue: turnovers. Golson had 22 a year ago -- 14 interceptions (four were returned for touchdowns) and eight lost fumbles. Winston had his fair share -- 20 to be exact. But Winston had an ability to make big plays almost as soon as he made his mistakes, rallying Florida State to one comeback victory after another.

Florida State was probably installing more stuff per day [this spring] than we do.”

To be sure, Fisher will call plays that only Golson can handle, but he will expect his quarterback to take a deep dive into the playbook and know its ins and outs, the same expectations he has for the other quarterbacks on his roster.

Golson has dealt with similar expectations from Brian Kelly, another demanding, offensive-minded head coach. But Golson was a redshirt freshman when he started his first game for the Irish. While he has game experience now, he will have been in the Florida State system for three months before opening day, with more pressure on him to succeed immediately and take the Noles back to the playoffs.

The schedule sets up nicely for that to happen, but there are too many holes around him for Golson to make that happen.

I don't think FSU makes the playoffs. Too much bias from the wack college playoff committee and their schedule.

For any remote chance we do make the playoffs Clemson and GA Tech would have to have awesome seasons and be ranked fairly. Both teams beat SEC teams last season and still probably get jerked in the poll.

FSU just doesn't have any team on the schedule besides those two. Maybe Louisville but meh. This is why they put ol miss and Bama on the schedule in the future.
