First and foremost, if you're not fond of statistics or talking football and your philosophy is to trust the coach, it might be better to skip this thread because I actually do like going into the details and figuring out what makes successful Quarterbacks, so here we go:

Pass Chart for Feleipe Franks:

Short: 7/10 (70%)
Intermediate: 1/8 (13%)
Long: 1/4 (25%)

Receiver Error?*: 0

Adjusted Passing: 9/22 (41%)

Pass Chart for Kyle Trask:

Short: 3/6 (50%)
Intermediate: 5/8 (62%)
Long: 1/3 (33%)

Receiver Error: 3

Adjusted Passing: 13/18 (72%)

---------------------------------------

How I determine Receiver Error: The ball is on target but the receiver has clearly and obviously run the wrong route, didn't adjust his body or the ball hit him directly in front of him in his hands (if the receiver is splayed out, or sprawling high in the air I don't count it as a receiver error).

Feleipe Franks breakdown: Once again he excelled at the short game (as usual) and made some decent throws underneath and protected the ball this game. Obviously, he didn't have a good game and struggled where I had predicted he would: the intermediate and long ball. He went 2 of 12, and the worst part is that a lot of these passes were early in the game (we had an abysmal time of possession for the first quarter) and it really slowed the momentum of the offense to the point where we ran a lot more than I think we had wanted.

What Franks can do better: Once again, bring it back to shorter passing routes and I think running more often might help him out a lot. There were several plays this game where he had a completely open field in front of him for an easy 5 yards if he wanted them.

Kyle Trask breakdown: What's surprising the most is that he's not as good at throwing short as Franks is. Of his 18 passes, only two were off-target (both in the long range) and he had at least three throwaways. As I predicted gleaning information from the Spring Game: He excelled at intermediate passes which seem to be his best. All three of his passes that he missed at this level were due to receiver error or because of it was a throwaway.

Feleipe Franks' Weaknesses: His worst and most egregious fault, to me, is that he is a very emotional player but in the opposite direction of Tebow. Humor me. When he plays bad, he seems to beat himself up or get frustrated and it bleeds into every throw that he makes. He played angry vs. Missouri and missed some pivotal throws simply by throwing too aggressively. This is one of the worst characteristics a Quarterback can have because you really do need the memory of a goldfish, and you have to be mentally tough to block out angry, rabid fans and just do your job.

Trask's Weaknesses: While I believe Trask played better, there are a lot of problems that he poses if he starts next week vs. South Carolina. The first and most obvious one is that he does not have connections with the first string receivers. He had a very bad long throw that was no where near where the receiver was (granted, he had someone directly in his face). The other big one that I notice (and have talked about) is that he waits far too long in the pocket. However, I feel like this is at least quickly controllable with some gametime snaps and real experience.

Conclusion: Moving forward, if we want to move the ball Franks has to be far more willing to run. If we choose Trask, we need to build the offense around his weaknesses and get him the most first team reps as humanly possible.

The pessimistic conclusion: I don't think Trask has a good enough relationship on or off the field with the first string receivers to be enough use to us the rest of the way, and I feel like he doesn't have enough character or personality to win them over with that alone -- he will have to do it on the field.
