Ouch!
Ouch!
quote:
But anything is possible with this collection of willing but hamstrung Gators. Once again, their quarterback self-destructed and this one was a doozy. In the final game of the season, Feleipe Franks showed that he has not grown as a decision-maker even a little bit and that the next Florida coach doesn’t have much to work with at the quarterback position.
quote:
“It doesn’t matter what I say,” Franks said of the turnovers. “You’ll find a way to twist it around.”

Honestly, there isn't a team in the country who would take Franks as a quarterback. I knew in the beginning of the year he wasn't the answer, but we didn't have an alternative.
If I were Franks, I'd stay away from social media because he probably had the worst game of any Florida team in multiple decades. 3 direct touchdowns from turnovers.

Yeah but his o-line could not block water from a water hose
I get the pick six was all his fault but running for your life the whole game not his fault and his horrible coaches in high school not his fault his horrible coaching here not his fault bad division making his fault though
Hopefully another coach can get him right but if we lose out on corral and he transfers we are in deep deep trouble next season

I like how we haven’t turned on him yet like we did driskel.

Franks' failure is not the o-line, Franks' failure is being a bad quarterback. I defended Driskel to the hilt, because I knew he was actually decent -- he just had no offense to speak of around him.
Problem with Franks is he's had, now, two years in this system and he doesn't look any better at all.
He led to FSU having 24 points. He is a turnover machine. He had 4 by himself, two pick sixes and an overthrown ball that got tipped along with an unlucky fumble.
If we would have ran it every play and punted it, we might have been able to squeeze out that game.
This is literally the third game this season that he has lost all by himself, and it would have been the fourth if Luke Del Rio didn't save him in the Kentucky game.
Franks is an awful quarterback in every facet of the game -- especially when it comes to reading the defense. He gets sacked and picked off consistently because he can't even see an obvious blitz.

Albino you might want to actually watch the games. Franks had decent protection...not perfect...but what OL is? His problem is that he panics and moves his feet around (almost instantly)...a sure sign of being scared.
He usually gets sacked because of his bone headed decisions and running right into a pass rusher. He made one really good pass yesterday where he planted his feet and threw accurately. When a gangly skinny almost 6'6" tall r/s frosh QB tries to throw while running it usually doesn't turn out well. He stared down WRs yesterday so many times and that's a recipe for disaster. He needs to bulk up and hit the weight room.

Straws has turned on him every chance he gets . Franks has a lot of raw talent but hasn’t been taught anything the hole time he has been at UF. Nuss refuses to change the play calling to give him easier plays that fit his talents. We never call any plays to keep the defense on its heels . So the defense is just coming got Franks and the RB every play . We have the plainest offensive in the country . It’s going to be nice to have a new OC .

I don’t often dislike a player. And it’s not Franks personally I dislike. But some players have “it” and some don”t. Franks inability to even begin to understand what a defense is bringing as well as his reliance on starring down his primary receivers is just beyond coaching at this point. Fillipe Franks will never be a good quarterback regardless of who coaches him. I just prey Corrall is ready to play.

He really did. Since there wasn't anything else to do by the end, Dad and I were rewinding back and watching plays after I noted that Franks is at his best when he just passes the ball and at his worst when he doesn't trust the route, scrambles, and then tries to make something happen.
Case in point was a series in the second half right after one of Powell's big catches. Powell ran back across the middle on a quick pass play and was wide open. ESPN even paused it to show that Franks was not being pressured, the play was clearly designed for Powell to get open, he was, yet Franks didn't pass the ball. If you watch the back half, Powell is desperately waving through almost the whole play, but Franks had already blown the play when he didn't get the ball off quickly.
He does lock onto players. If it's obvious to me, a guy who is very bad at Xs and Os, then I can only imagine how obvious it is to guys who have been playing football since grade school. I think he is successful on quick plays because they happen quicker than his starring a player down matters. However, he very often doesn't trust the route and just doesn't pass, so the ball isn't there when the receiver is.
The line has usually been adequate in their part of the job on those plays.

How can he know what to do with no teaching? Nuss and Mac are some of the worst coaches we've ever had.

We agree on that, TJ. He definitely didn't have the coaching, but he's never had the coaching -- from high school until now. Dan Mullen might be able to help a lot with that, but he is easy two years out from being able to compete in the SEC and be better than 6th or 7th.
