re: Mullen Thoughts on Franks

And we can even make this worse for us.

Miami was a neutral site.

LSU played on the road at Auburn.

We got both FBS teams at home.

Not only has Burrow faced steeper competition, he fought them at their stadium and at a neutral site.

Burrow is a better Quarterback than Franks, demonstrably. It's not even a debate. The stats favor Franks because he's faced outrageously bad defenses (and still completed less than 50% of his passes).

We are not a good team, guys, and I hate to be negative, but this is not going to end well for us.

Exactly, Who's under Center isnt going to change anything so why bother bitching about it? I really dgaf who it is, Franks or Trask, I have no delusions of this team competing this season.


Im seeing a 6-7 win season regardless who is taking the snaps

A serviceable Quarterback at Florida would almost guarantee a 9 win season.

Um, no

They arent, Kentucky is undefeated..... lol

Miami has lost 4 straight there bud going back to last season. Should never have sniffed the dumbass pre-season rankings. Which shouldnt even exist due to shite like this.

Auburn has played Wash who has themselves played noone. So at this point we really cant make a case for any team. We can come back in 4 weeks and re-visit this but talking right now, none of these teams have a sample size to say they are really deserving of a top 10 ranking.

Straws doesn't grasp how bad the team is. Bad in trenches. Can't tackle. Soft.

This isn't on Frank's. Trask isn't a world beater or he would be under center

They've given up 5 hurries in over 50 passes, meaning they're allowing one hurry out of every ten passes. That's not terrible pass protection.

In fact, with as much time as Franks has had in the pocket, it's insane that he's still throwing worse than 50%.

The entire team looked improved last week, Franks threw a ridiculously bad interception in the first half.

81 yards in three and a half Quarters, come on, man.

I'm caught up on it because you don't have: images, video, statistics or any tangible metric by which to say he's not impacting how the offense produces.

I have images, I've posted them before: Seven different passes in one game that could have been intercepted.

Five hurries in over 50 passes.

It's unbelievable that you seriously don't think that a different Quarterback would have the same result, it's okay to say Franks played badly, it's not okay to pretend like he's not hurting the offense by being so inconsistent.

He can be incredibly successful if he learns to take the short passes, otherwise we're just going to watch him continue to throw into coverage.

Again, I gotta check out for some time because the delusion on this board is way too high for me. Just going to leave you with a question:

If you had to bet, do you think Franks will do well on the road against UT after his performances against the worst defense in the FBS and Kentucky?

No. But Trask won't either. Back up QB is a back up QB. If he can't start in high school...dude isn't starting at UF and being a hero.

If we pull Frank's. Build the future with Jones. Trask is a waste of time.

Jones couldn't beat out Trask, Trask is a better QB than Franks but a worse leader.

I'm not saying he'll be great, but I think he definitely reads the field better as evidenced by multiple scrimmages.

We don't need a hero Quarterback, we need a guy who won't throw it into coverage when all he needs to do is complete a swing pass.

This is the second staff he couldnt convince to give him a shot... let that sink in.
