The writing's been on the wall since Franks sucked it up against CSU, Georgia then Mizzou and Trask couldn't even get on the field.
Even when he did and outperformed Franks in every category many fans thought that it was still Franks' job to lose.
If he didn't see the writing on the wall then, he's likely not going to see it now. With two broken bones in his feet (potentially the same one), I would be more surprised if he didn't just get his degree and go straight into coaching.
And P.S., you guys are way off on Franks' NFL prospects. He would have to drastically improve his numbers. He's never even had a 300 yard passing game after two years of starting. He still has a ways to go. If he can get two this year and beat a good team with his arm, maybe.
That being said:
Beck or AR15, even if they don't come I'm comfortable with the QB room. We'll need to get a body, but we've got QB1 and QB2 for at least two more years.

College numbers dont mean shite to the Pro scouts.
Ex: I give you joe Flacco.
At Delaware, Flacco was pessimistic about his chances to play in the NFL, and after his junior year asked his coach for permission to play baseball. The coach predicted that he would be selected in the NFL Draft, surprising Flacco.[19] With a solid showing at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, Flacco solidified himself as a top five quarterback in the 2008 NFL Draft.[20] Flacco won the long distance throw competition in ESPN's State Farm College Football All-Star Challenge with a 74-yard throw, beating out Matt Ryan, Colt Brennan, Chad Henne, and John David Booty, later winning the Taco Bell Quarterback Scramble with a time of 15.72 seconds.[21]
Avg college stats. Did well at the combine and was drafted. This was the first off the top of my head but it happens every year where a player noone knew much about, does well in front of the scouts and turns into a pro pick. You only have to impress ONE Coach/GM
Think about it. 32 teams, 64 QBs as just starter and backup, not counting the "project" guys who get picked up. You cant tell me theres not a place on a pro roster for a kid as big and strong as Franks in some capacity. Im not saying he'll have a long pro career, but I believe he will be in a teams camp once he leaves UF.
