I like Franks and think he has gotten better every year at Florida, but tbh I didn’t realize this was even a question. I’ve seen Franks ranked anywhere from 5th to 8th best QB in the SEC, whereas Burrow is always either 3rd or 4th (I saw one where he was second but I’m not delusional so we won’t count that)

If I’m being 100% honest as much as I respect Franks’ growth, I think if he was on any team not coached by Dan Mullen he would be either a backup QB or just not a great starter. Since you said I can pick either with any coaching combo I wanted I would go with Burrow. I also think he is probably the more coachable player, although like I said I respect Franks’ growth.

I know Florida fans will point to the UF/LSU game. But anyone who does that is being a bit disingenuous to themselves. I’ve already seen one say Burrow is a sack waiting to happen, and with our 2018 o-line he was. First off more people played in that UF/LSU game than 2 QBs. Second off, LSU’s offensive line had maybe their worst game of the entire year (it is between that game and the Bama game) against Florida.

I would take Burrow in a heartbeat. I also think he is a better leader and despite the size difference, I think he is tougher.
