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.

Stepping into his throw and his Pocket Presence Clock is a lot easier to fix than:

Footwork.
Release.
Pocket Presence Clock.
Not drifting into pressure.
Not staring down a receiver once every two or three throws.
Throwing into coverage.
Throwing directly to DBs.
No vision, no 'feel'.
Missing wide open receivers.

I feel like Trask is fixable, I feel like he might be able to be a good Quarterback, maybe even great if he gets the attention he deserves and spends a year in Mullen's tutorship without Franks receiving more than him.
