Chris Leak was maligned in a similar way

"Franks will bounce back." When?

I said last year when he started over Luke Del Rio, wait.

I was right then.

I told people to chill out with the expectations this year.

I told people not to take Franks' early success out of context.

People were talking about how he was almost tied with TD passes with Tua, I said wait.

I was right. People told me I didn't know what I was talking about, trust Dan Mullen, he knows more than I do -- and I agree. He is much better at identifying and developing Quarterbacks than I ever will be, no matter how much time I put into it. I have more of a chance at being a Rock Star than I do of even being worthy enough to be on Dan Mullen's staff.

That being said: That doesn't mean Dan Mullen can't be arrogant, it doesn't mean that he can't play favorites, it doesn't mean that his own hubris can blind him to what's obvious to many people -- former Quarterbacks, former coaches, former players in general, those who were on the team with Feleipe (there were multiple).

So here's the thing: When I predict Trask is a better downfield passer than Franks and it happens, that's not luck. When I predict that Franks is going to get absolutely shut down by year's end because he is far too easy to gameplan, that's not luck. When I say that Trask will eventually take over for Franks, that's not luck.

I put in a lot of time and effort into reading into Florida Quarterbacks. That's why when Driskel got stomped into the ground on this forum I stood up for him, I knew he was talented, but wasn't in the right system.

It's not luck that I called out Trask being over his star rating three fricking years ago.

One of the biggest positives I had about Trask was his accuracy and ability to throw downfield. It's not luck.

So please, stop calling me out with threads. Stop pretending like I literally didn't predict these things with great accuracy. Literally, the only way I could have made my predictions more accurate is telling you which game Kyle would have taken over in.

If your point is just that "back-up QB is always the most popular player," sure. But Leak was a good QB with less-than-average physical traits and Franks is a bad QB with above-average physical traits. They're pretty much opposites

shite I even forgot Leak leading a 21-3 come back against Kentucky in Lexington on the road.
