re: Luke Del Rio's opinion on the Franks vs Trask fiasco...

We would not have lost a game this year outside of Georgia (maybe) if Del Rio was still here.

ALL we've needed is a decent game manager who can throw downfield. That's it. Just a guy who can hit those passes.

Trask hit 7 of his 8 passes from intermediate range, two were drops, one was a throw away but it hit his receivers hands both times, and if the receivers had fought more they might have been able to catch them.

All we need is a guy to hit open receivers and not turn the ball over. He can do that, Franks can't. Even when Franks isn't pressured he doesn't hit targets.

Trask is good if he steps into his throws. Leads his target perfectly.

When he fades away from pressure or does not step into his throw, it is shite. Allows the DB to make a play on the ball or make a quick tackle.

I thought that during the game and a rewatch of Trask's throws confirms that observation. The only exception was the TD pass, that 10 makes a great diving catch.

Trask did spark the offense however he needs to step into his throws. Maybe he is worried about his foot.

No that isn’t all we need. We need a true winner. We aren’t beating Bama with a manager. I want titles. I don’t want feel good ten win seasons. I want Florida to be scary. I don’t see Trask ever being more than good. You can’t win titles with good at QB now. Not with that Bama monster. So while I support Trask if he comes in, my long hope is Emory because I think he could be very, very scary. There is a reason Urban, Saban, etc wanted this kid. He is a very good prospect.

Trask for the rest of the year I’m absolutely cool with. But if he or Franks is the starter next year...I don’t think we are taking that second year step most championship level coaches take with either.
