re: By the numbers: Mac Jones vs. Kyle Trask

Can’t argue the stats.

Jones is the better QB. Period.

I agree, Trask should come back next year for his best chance to win the Heisman.

Both are playing extremely well. I’d take either.

UF is just as Talented at WR and TE. Mac lost his best receiver and is still putting up big numbers

I gotta say the narrative certainly has changed.

In the preseason, UFs biggest question mark on this board was the skill players because they lost 4 WRs to the NFL.

Now everyone’s saying they’re just as good as Bama’s

Seems like Trask has a lot to do with that.

I think the running argument goes both ways. The lack of a running game means Trask gets a chance to pad stats. On the other hand, teams have to respect Bama’s run game while Trask throws against teams dropping into coverage.

Agree - all in all both are doing exactly what they are asked and are doing it to near perfection.

And I also agree with the above - I'm not convinced the national media is gonna sell either of them with Fields and Lawrence out there.

Their numbers are a reflection of the offenses they play in and the skill players around them.

Jones: doesn’t have as many passing TDs because Alabama has a superior red zone running game and they don’t have a red zone cheat code like Kyle Pitts. He has more yards per attempt because Alabama has/had perimeter burners like Smith and Waddle.

Trask: Florida doesn’t have the perimeter speed of Alabama, which sounds weird to say but it’s true. Toney is elusive as they come but if he and healthy Waddle were to race, it would be over almost immediately. Instead we have a bunch of big, tall receivers with enormous catch radiuses like Pitts (6’6), Grimes (6’5), Shorter (6’5), Henderson (6’3), etc. That’s part of why he doesn’t have the YPA of Jones.

They’re both playing at a very high level. I’d take Trask because 1) I’m a fricking homer and 2) Trask is just a gamer. He’s been effective playing from behind and with a lead. He usually plays his best in big games (LSU last year, Georgia/A&M this year, and has done all of it the last two years with a horrible (2019) and average (2020) running game.

Yep, and the different number of games and general weirdness of the season will lead to a whole lot of "well stats can't really be compared", which will then lead to the obvious conclusion of "insert reason why Lawrence/Fields actually had the best season".

By the numbers:

Kyle Trask - 28 TDs in 6 games
Snot Nose Jones - 16 TDs in 6 games

Kyle Trask - 0 crying mugshots
Snot Nose Jones -

Tua got robbed. Known fact
