Del Rio literally came in and saved Franks.

Del Rio is a knowledgeable Quarterback, and with the time that we've had, the pass protection we've had, he would absolutely be very successful in this offense.

To say otherwise is likely because you dislike him as a person, but his vision would have probably beaten UGA. Franks is literally responsible for 20 points against UGA, how many points did they beat us by again?

shite, Trask starting against Missouri and we might have had a chance. People underestimate just how bad Franks has been.

del Rio's career passer rating at UF was like 115

He had a good game against Kentucky but did not have a good career

For a "game manager" he had an awful 1:1 TD:INT ratio

He just wasn't good. If he was this stud game manager he probably wouldn't have been a walk-on before UF and wouldn't be running a podcast right now

Del Rio is not a willing runner. That is key to a Mullen offense.

He does not have the arm talent to overcome the lack of running.

He was a shite QB with the only value provided was helping the OL to get into the right run call. There is a reason TJ has not seen the field under Mullen.

shite, TJ and Del Rio do not have the talent to start for a program like UF. They were the best options at the time because Mac sucked.

That is what’s nkt clicking for you here Straws. You seem okay with being good, not great.

The reason Franks had more support was the possibility he had of being elite based on arm strength and size. Clearly he just won’t be so we are ready to move on.

Del Rio is not a great QB. At all. He couldn’t even start at Oregon State. Trask couldn’t even start in high school. Neither is elite.

Emory or Jalon have far more of a chance. You seem okay with being okay and winning ten games sometimes and maybe the East occasionally but not a title. I’m not. I want titles on the wall.

So I’d rather see us take a risk, not go for the safest option to do decently. Jones has more upside than Trask. He does. Trask is a smarter QB, but that isn’t going to make him an elite QB. Emory has a lot to work on, but has the rifle arm and is a dangerous run threat. So he is the better chance at greatness returning.

East titles mean nothing if you can’t compete in Atlanta. I’d rather risk losing five games but chance winning if all on a raw prospect than take the comfy 9-3 route with a guy who won’t do enough to win it all.

End of the day. Till Saban is gone we aren’t beating him with average or good QB play. We must have elite.
