re: Hello anybody have thoughts on the spring game????

You are assuming that if Del Rio starts we will not be successful.

What has Del Rio shown that would make you think he'd be successful against good defenses?

quote:

---

From what I have seen, when healthy, I trust him more than a red shirt Freshman that hasn't played a down in the regular season.

---

So basically this statement is based on games vs. UMass, Kentucky, and North Texas?

Comon man...

I hate it for him but let's be honest. He wasn't going to play this fall.

quote:

So you are going to base Franks chance of success on his 2 spring games?
2016 - 3 picks
2017 - 8-14 passing

Double comon man, back at you!

Look if Coach says that Franks is the best chance to win games, I'm 100% in support. Just don't throw Del Rio out with the bathwater yet because he may be our QB in 2017, if so, I'll support that decision also.

Go Gators!

If Del Rio is starting I am going to be hyper critical of every mistake and miss throw. He makes throws that his arm can not make and that leads to 8 INTs.

I take the spring game with a very small grain of salt. Much of Franks development will come with him working on his mechanics, command of the playbook, getting chemistry with the wide receivers, and studying film over this summer.

Thats bullshite BST, so...if you dont get what YOU want...you will lead the jeering section? Ok...got it.

And if Franks starts you and others will be screaming to the sky when he throws multiple picks too ? I know which one of the two would be more prone to throwing picks and his initials are FF.

He fires fastballs when the receiver is 8 feet away...he is just too pumped up and cant seem to understand what he is being taught. Cannon for an arm and so far a derringer for a brain. It will take time for him to develop, WTF do you think a QB who has no snaps at all in a real game will do? He shits his pants in spring games for crying out loud. He will be a great QB....but doubt it is in 2017.

Del Rio is calm and can make the throws necessary when its intermediate...and remember man...we will have a potent run game to help. We cant finish last in the SEC every damn year running the ball...its a tribute to our stout defense we won the east two yrs in a row.

Exactly. When a defense KNOWS that your QB can't beat them, you aren't going to be able to run the ball. Hopefully Franks creates some fear for defensive coordinators so they think twice about loading up the box without running the risk of Franks throwing a 50 yard bomb over their heads.

FSU has done this better than any team we've played. They've stacked the box and blitzed the shite out of the last two years and dared our QB to make plays. Treon had wide open receivers all game, and so did Appleby. FSU knew that they couldn't exploit it, so that's the result. If Franks can make teams pay for loading up the box and blitzing every play, it will open so many other doors for our offense and it's productivity.

I think we have a minimum of 9 wins and a max of 11 in the regular season.

I think we will win every game except for three toss ups: LSU, Michigan, and FSU.

I don't buy the UGA hype and I don't think we will lose more than 2 home games

We got pulverized at Arkansas last year after UGA

---

Big time failure on our coaching department but Arkansas is known to do strangely amazing -- we just hobbled into that game. Hurt defense, they hadn't had time to adjust all too well.

Arkansas goes out and destroys us, then gets beaten by fricking Mizzou who got outright dominated in the East, so I think we just 1. caught them at an unfortunate time of the year, 2. came in uninspired and 3. had a bad gameplan.

quote:

---

Tennessee beat UF by double digits, @ South Carolina is never easy, TAMU at home will be a challenge and is certainly not a give me. UF is also @ Kentucky, a place where they barely won 2 years ago with a similar QB situation. Assuming Georgia is a win and not a toss up seems overconfident to me, but whatever, UF has destroyed them three years running now.

I see the floor at 7 wins, and the ceiling at 10 in the regular season.

The good news is that, total, we really only have 3 Away games the entire year. The other 2 are ''Neutral Games''.

We play the three worst East teams on the road in Kentucky, Missouri and South Carolina (Vandy finished worse than Kentucky, but sue me, I think they'll be better this year).

So we have all of our hard games at home, and if you ask me...there will be no better year to tune our offense than this one. None of those road games look that vicious, and from September 9th to October 28th we leave the state of Florida one time.

I don't see us losing four games, we should at least keep it at three against LSU, FSU and Michigan.

There are some toss-ups, but Georgia looked fricking bad. I don't know if Smart has what it takes to coach -- they literally recruited top ten almost every year beforehand and they looked like hot dogshit.

Outside of Georgia, in the East? There really is no other team outside of Tennessee which is barely holding its program together and pulled a miracle comeback last year against a broken offense.
