Felipe Franks. Only because he is coached by Mullen. If Burrow played for Mullen I would take him.


Joe isn’t as bad as I thought, I watched back the Florida game and on their last drive he put some passes on the money his receivers dropped

I'll take Joe. He has a better head on his shoulders.

Burrow is a sack waiting to happen...I think UF sacked him 5 or 6 times last year....and other teams got to him also.


Franks is a jr this year and 6'6" 245-250....gives him advantage seeing over linemen. He improved quite a bit last year from 2017 and I expect him to be a lot more poised this year.

Franks has more physical talents, no doubt, but when pressured can still get happy feet in the pocket and makes too many mistakes. he made progress last year under Mullen and if he makes similar progress this year, then Florida could have them a pretty good QB.

However, Burrow, while limited physically (maybe just my opinion and not necessarily a fact) he has a great head on his shoulders. he makes good decisions, and the team plays well for him. They respond to him. His intangibles are excellent. He can see plays and knows how to make them. He is a very solid QB and is underrated, imo.


One of these QBs through a walk off pick 6 versus the other QBs team. I'll let you guess which one.

Also, Franks with a 24/6 TD/INT ratio. Burrow at 16/5.

If Burrow was playing for Mullen we would have a really dangerous offense.

If Franks was playing for Orgeron they literally might not win a game.

It really is just the Mullen factor.

Florida fans will choose Franks but lets look at a couple of things.

When LSU played Florida LSU was using it's 6th different starting lineup on the o line because of injuries. Franks played behind an established uninjured o line vs LSU. This season Franks will play behind a mostly new o line and Burrow will play behind a veteran o line.

Remember how late Burrow arrived at LSU. Franks has been at Florida since his frosh year. Burrow had very little time to workout with the wr's. Franks had been around his wr's for a considerably longer period of time. LSU had one of the worst drop rates in college football.

This season will be a more accurate barometer of who is better. I'll take Joe. Especially with an updated offense.

Geez why so many downvotes? Seems like a harmless comparison question.

I’m rolling with Franks

Exactly. Franks has had some really clutch moments.

He asked who I preferred, and I said who I preferred.

All I saw was that franks still has horrible games. (Georgia and Kentucky...the two most important games that could have taken Florida to the SECCG) I never saw Burrow have a horrible game. maybe he did. he sure had a good game against us, though.

No offense was intended to Florida.

You may some good points about your O line, but also leave open things like Franks has been at UF for a few years already, but it was his first with Mullen when he beat LSU.

You talk about injuries to your o line, but UF has some significant injuries to the defensive backfield that would’ve helped Burrows.

He did throw some dynamite balls that LSU’s WRs dropped at the end of the game though.
