I've never seen one player single handedly lose a game. Until today.

I can't even blame Yost, this is 100% on James Franklin. This blind faith by the coaching staff needs to end. Put him on the bench for the rest of the season. If we're gonna suck, let's suck with someone else under center.

It was ugly.

Mizzou just doesnt have a QB1 this year.

Hard reality as we have been spoiled for the better part of a decade at that position.

Franklin gives us a better chance to win than Berk does. He played bad today yeah but he also made throws and runs that Berk cant make and keep us in it. Ex. vandy and Kentucky games. Maty doesnt know the offense well enough yet and needs to stay on the bench to redshirt. Franklin is the best option

They need to shut Mr. Franklin down for the year. Let him get healthy and get some confidence back. That performance he had today would not beat the Sisters of the Blind on a bad day for the Sisters.

As bad as Franklin was today, He played played better @ Florida than Berk did vs UK.

No doubt.

Franklin is the better option. He is hurt and it shows. We are in a no win situation really.

I'm tired of hearing this bullshite line. He. fricking. Sucks.

No more excuses, what we watched today was one of the worst qb performances I've ever seen. Berks could not have been worse.

I'm not sure any QB could have played worse if they tried.

Maybe you are but it is still a true statement.

An injured Franklin is still better than a healthy Berkstresser. No need to burn Mauk's redshirt at this point in the season

At least Franklin moved the ball down the field. Berk couldn't do that at home vs fricking Kentucky

I think Franklin is mentally done. He may be hurt, he may not be, but I think he's afraid of getting hurt and afraid of hurting himself.

He's mentally finished.

Let him finish his degree and go to volleyball games. I'll go out on a limb and say I don't think he suits up next year.

Yeah, moral victories. It doesn't matter if you move the ball if you can't score because the qb keeps throwing it to the safety.

Mizzou will be A LOT better next season. Can't expect much from a QB coming off a ACL injury, taking hits on it. Mizzou will be fine next season.

Sorry guys Berk is worse, he plays today we have shitloads of 3 and outs and the D wears down and we get rocked in the 4th qtr. Yost is not without blame either, besides the 2 minute drive we abandoned the run. Yost had him throw 40+ times.

Folks are just being emotional.

Its clear as day that Franklin is the better option. Not saying either one is playing at a level to take this team to a bowl game but the best option to win lies in Franklin taking snaps.

That was one of the most pathetic excuses of a QB performance I've seen in a long time. Right now, as a player, Franklin disgusts me. Unfortunately, it's also true that POS Qb is our best option this year.

I'm so ready to move on from Franklin after this year (wish it was sooner) that if Maty Mauk is even half as good as advertised, he needs to be the man.

I'm so fricking pissed at Franklin right now for just giving the damn game away. You suck arse Franklin!

Well, I've calmed down now.

I think we're just fricked at the QB position for the rest of this season. It is what it is.
