What does he do well? He looks athletic and seems like he will run the option well. What throws should we expect to see more? The back shoulder to dgb is one I think Franklin doesn't make. But that has a lot to do with timing and Mauk and dgb are pretty close from what I'm told. I think dgb will get more looks. The running game will become more important. What y'all think?

I think Mauk will give a little bit of good and a little bit of bad. I went back to his high school tape and here are some things I noticed.
Pros
- Has an arm, highlights show at least 2 or 3 throws of 35 yards or more. Good zip and a tight spiral
- Athletic, dude has wheels and can break a few tackles.
- Extends plays while keeping his eyes down field allowing WRs to get open. Throws well on the run.
Cons
- Extends plays. Wait? Why did he list that twice? Well, he seems indecisive at times and runs around in the backfield regularly (See these highlights) which can lead to sacks or bad decisions (Like throwing across your body to the other side of the field)when he throws. Will occasionally will throw off back foot or off balance.
- Has a bit of gun slinger in him. Trusts his arm and throws in tight windows.
- Takes hits on scrambles with great regularity.
So to sum it up, I don't think the offense has to change the playbook much since Mauk can do everything Franklin can as well, or in some cases better. You will still see down field throws and option plays which is good. However, he will also make some bad decisions due to his inexperience. He will also make some good plays because of his athletic ability. Expect some INTs against a tough Florida defense. However if the running game keeps churning out yards like it has been, Mauk's job get a lot easier.

If Mauk is successful I see it being with his arm primarily.
I really hope he can read the different layers of coverage and find receivers. That will be the key, can he read coverage and anticipate the routes. Remember that pass JFrank made to L'Wash this weekend when the pass was out before Wash turned around. I wonder if he'll be able to have that kind of confidence in knowing the routes.
I've been down on Mauk, but I'll rally for him. Let's see if he can get the ball in the hands of the receivers and let them do work. Maybe we'll even have a more dangerous deep ball game with Mauk.
With that said, I have no idea how some of you are saying his athleticism is a strength. He's not fast. He's not strong. He has chicken legs. He's undersized. He's not really athletic, he's a gun slinger.

OMG, really? Again? Not an athlete?
Here is what alittle research on the web will tell you about Mauk. It's all I need to know at this point. It's something you should consider before "weighing in" fairly.
A blog report on Mauk from an MU website....enjoy.

It's a wait an see. It may not be pretty next week. He's going to go through the same transitions Franklin went through when he moved to the #1 spot. He'll thow picks, he'll make bad decissions. It's part of the growing process at QB at the next level. Franklin still made questionable decissions, but had experience and chemistry with his recievers. This is what Mauk will need to develop through the next few games. I think the coaching staff will have to tweak the offense to fit his style of play. So to me, they will probably be conservative at first, much like the end of the Georgia game. I think they will stick with intermediate passes until the defenses shut it down. More run plays. Yes, when DGB and Mauk were in camp they hooked up and complimented each other well. I think Mauk is lucky to have the recieving corp he has as they are all big recievers and physical. But this is all conjecture at this point. results are what speak the loudest. JMO

What is up with his throwing style? It seems like if he got nailed at the beginning of his throw his arm could be ripped off.

Mauk was recruited specifically because Pinkel identified him as a QB who would thrive in the spread. He was made to play this offense. I think he'll surprise people.
And say what you will about Gary Pinkel, but he's demonstrated an ability to look for specific skills in underrated players and develop them to their fullest potential. Mauk is in good hands.

My concern isn't with the underlying skill sets. My biggest concern for Mauk is that the game hasn't slowed down for him yet. Maybe with more preparation/reps with the 1st team, we'll see a difference but the speed of the game is my biggest concern.
Posted on 10/13/13 at 3:49 pm to reedus23
Oh, no doubt, he's going to have an adjustment period. I think he's going to be okay, though.
Posted on 10/13/13 at 4:25 pm to hissingprigs77
If he can handle the speed, I do think he can be more explosive than Franklin. Gawd, would it be amazing if he comes in and lights it up this weekend? Full support for Maty here.

Maty Mauk is the future for Mizzou...and with Franklin's injury, the future is now.
Let's hope he can manage the game well and get a few more wins.

I'm aware of this. Was a college athlete myself at only 5'11 185. DB's are awesome athletes and they're small. Lot's of unreal athletes are in that type of frame.
But Mauk is different. He was a good HS athlete. In college, especially the SEC, he's just a gun slinger, an arm, he's not an athletic athlete that is going to be a serious duel threat. He may slip away from guys here and there, but he's just not a pure athlete, he's a thrower.
Now go have an aneurysm bc I think he's not very athletic.

Doesn't matter what kind of athlete he is. What matters is if he's a playmaker. Period.
Everything I've heard from observers is that one of his strengths is making plays with his feet when things breaks down. With the talent we have on offense, the biggest thing needed is a distributer. If he can distribute and take care of the ball, we'll keep right on chugging along.

This fall that was reported a weakness. The word was that he couldn't read the layers of coverage and would scramble too much. He also fumbled a good amount.

Which is why I'm saying it's his arm, and only his arm that will determine his success. He'll slip out of trouble, get some yards on his feet when it's given to him.. but he's too frail and unathletic to be a true duel threat qb.

That is a great sign. I trust killz gut about these things - and his precognition.
