Straws Appreciation Thread

You were on my side.

But, I don't hold it against many people. I put in a lot of work to break down the Quarterbacks -- I think the annoying part is that in spite of all of the investigation I did, no one actually looked at it.

All of Franks' problems I parsed from the Spring Game.

All of Trask's successes I parsed from the Spring Game.

A game that "didn't count". Hopefully we just keep the Trask Train a chuggin'. Even if he throws an interception, it's only because he doesn't have a lot of playing time, so I don't hold it against him yet.

That first drive was very good, though.

If Trask starts next week, he will start next year as well. People don't want to listen, but he has hit every target. Every single play except for the throw away his ball has been on target.

He needs a whole game, though. He needs to start getting reps, because he can be very successful.

There is one thing I am rarely incorrect on: Quarterbacks.

I have this weird sixth sense for Quarterbacks, and while I definitely waited way too long to get off of the McEltrain, I could see it from the Spring Game this year and even from some of the high school tape.

Trask came in:

Ice cold.
Only playing with the 2's in practice.
Completed more passes.
Had a better percentage.
Had +42 yards.
More than doubled Franks' QB Rating.

Imagine being the guy who got his lunch eaten by a high school backup 2*.
