Still a learning curve coming as a r/s frosh....just hope he has really put on good weight and muscle tone. His arm strength is definitely above average...but its the mental part.
The really good news? He has been practicing a lot against elite defensive players on our team every day usually. So he could be a quick study.

If he can be decent. 18TD and 8 INT, we will be in very good shape next season. I think it's obvious Mac wants a fun n gun style offense where we throw the ball 40 times and run it 25 times a game. If we can get some good production from our quarterback next year, the offense will take off. The talent around him is there and it's just going to be up to him to take care of his end.
We have two questions going into this offseason. Will we be okay at DB after losing more guys to the draft? And Is Franks the answer at QB?
The answer to the first question is probably going to be yes, we're in good hands going forward there.
The answer about Franks is to be determined, and it won't be determined until the night we play Michigan in nine months.

Didn't seem to be that hard for Jalen Hurts or Jacob Eason.

According to some on this board, stars don't matter, so....?
And Eason was...
204/370
2430 passing yds
16 TDs
8 ints
Not bad for a team that went 8-5.

That release needs to be tightened up.

He's definitely got some work ahead of him, but after the time he's had he should look better than most quarterbacks that we've had.
If not, it's time to hit the panic button and go triple option wild cat.

His recruiting ranking was based off of the physical gifts he possessed. He has all the tools. 6'6 frame, 220 lb, athletic and mobile enough to be a threat running, cannon for an arm. Mac has to be able to develop those traits into a solid quarterback. He was brought to develop a quarterback, and now is the time to put up or shut up for Mac.

I don't know why UF fans like to think Eason is terrible.
He was a true freshman on a mediocre Georgia team and put up much better numbers than anything UF had at the position this year.
That being said no comparisons need to be made to Alabama. That is NFL lite right there. It is a machine.

I'm really at the point where I'm excited for UF, but not College Football in general.
Alabama is the best team every year, and when they lose, they beat themselves.
It sucks, but its the truth until Saban retires.

In 2018 Eason will be an elite QB.
Hurts makes a LOT of mistakes but has the nations best defense as an eraser and Hurts best attribute is that he can run well.
Finch...watch more football for crying out loud.
I watched UGA quite a bit and Eason has look just like a true frosh...which I knew would happen and Smart threw away this year to get him experience. He may be gone after 2018 anyway. But Eason still isnt developed yet and 2017 will still be a learning experience with ups and downs.
The most gifted QB in the SEC next year will be Ole Miss's prodigy Shea Patterson...but it will be wasted since OM has so many gaps and holes....especially on defense.
And NO, Mac does not want to throw the ball 40 times and run 25 times....thats insane. You win by out rushing your opponent and its usually the sign of the dominant team. If you throw 40+ times you are probably losing and trying to catch up.

Mac throwing the ball as much as we seemed to at times this year despite quarterback deficiencies leads me to think that he wants to throw the ball to help open up the run game. I remember people complaining at times about how much we throw. Which makes sense considering the shitshow at quarterback. But when you got guys running open all game, a competent quarterback can complete 26 out of 40 passes for 280+ yards with a couple of TDs and an INT. I truly think that Mac wants to throw the ball effectively, make the defense have to spread out to defend the pass, and hit them with the run game once we've loosened them up. Then when we're successful running the ball, that will open the play action game, and all of a sudden, you got a potent offense.
Hopefully for us Franks can run it

Eason was good for a true frosh and will be elite in a few years but he's not a good example if you're trying to make the argument that the learning curve for young QBs isn't huge at this level. He definitely had his struggles. If Franks plays like he did this year I'm sure there will be a few here calling for his head.

I like that when Franks senses danger, he starts to move. He gets out of the pocket when he needs to, and that means that we might actually be able to help our offensive line because our last quarterbacks have been complete stonefeet, never wanting to scramble. Once we have more guys in the QB depth, I think we'll see more movement at the QB position.

I'm not sure I can agree with this- look at this season- our biggest “?“ was QB and we had average to above average RBs but we were a pass first team- in terms of ypg this is the worst rushing Florida team in a decade or more.
Posted on 1/6/17 at 11:35 am to montanagator
YPC wasn't the worst, but the total rushing yards was the worst at Florida in at least 10 years. Really really really just awful.
UF also had fewer carries than any year going back to the Zook era though, so that is part of it.
Mac likes to throw the ball. Period.

Right, ypc they weren't anything super but they were also pretty good relative to the last few years.
I'm not sure we have a top flight RB yet (Scarlett might be but its really hard to tell with the odd "spin the wheel" approach we seem to have to carries) I think we have a collection of above average backs- guys who could develop into Kelvin's (fringe all-conference) not Fred's (All-American quality).
