Have some friends familiar with Franks and Wakulla. They said he may be a better baseball player than quarterback. But one also said he was pretty sure Franks got kicked off the baseball team because of a prima-donna attitude. Said Frank's would skip practice but was still be far the best player on the baseball team. I say get him on campus and set up a meeting with D-Rob and let him ask D-Rob how not being a team player is working out for him. We need this guy fully invested from the moment he steps on campus.

I'm sure your good at something, but football isn't it. Find it and stick with it.
Treon had "all day" meaning more than 1-1.5 seconds I suppose only when they rushed 3 and dropped 8. Even then the three got pressure on him quickly.

That's exactly what I saw. I'm no football guru by any stretch of the imagination, but all of this "he had all day" and the "the WRs were wide open on every play" stuff isn't what I've seen lately. More like sprints to the QB or 7-8 men in coverage and a spy on the QB.

It's just stupid. It's as stupid as "we need a tall QB" (Wuerffel? Leak? Brees? Flutie?) which followed the previous boardspeak of "we must have running QBs".
Just sit and laugh as the parrots repeat their stupidity.
Mac and every single commentator calls our OL a disaster. Mac has fired two guys in the last two weeks (Riles then Dillard). He is doing the best he can with what he was left. At the moment, it's Treon and freshmen, a guy with a frankenstein shoulder, and a IAA transfer on the OL. Yet people bytch.

Law, I have come to the conclusion that you now defending Treon just for the sport of it.

You do love you some treon. I'm not saying the OL doesn't suck. Clearly they do. Despite that, if it was JD or john Brantley in the exact same position back there you'd be dogging them nonstop.

I don't love Treon. I was the one saying Grier should have been starting last year, regardless of weight, and laughing at your assertions that he enrolled early because he wanted to redshirt. Remember????
Treon is just all we have. If Jacoby, Max Staver, even Mweg (he was accurate) were here, I'd say play them, but they aren't. We have Treon and Vandy's 4th string WR.

If Treon sees/hits open receivers half the time or even 3/4 of the time on Saturday, we have at least 21-28 points. The plays were there several times, and there wasn't a single, solitary time they were executed properly.

This reminds me of how witnesses to an event / crime often report conflicting information. Because there's no way you and Law watched the same game the rest of us watched. Treon was pressured true, but there were plenty of times where he had time to make the play. The OL had one of it's better nights as most people including Mac are saying.

The OL appeared to do OK when they rushed 3 and dropped 8 into coverage. Of course, those were the plays where there was no one open. I'm not not saying there weren't plays to be made here and there, but so many act like we should have just been able to throw it all over the field and that's simply not the case. Treon isn't a good passing QB, but let's not act like the OL is great and the other teams aren't playing defense.

Both sides are right. The OLine sucks, but there were several plays that FSU got pressure with just 4 guys (sometimes 3). We had OTs getting upended by someone 100lbs lighter. I don't want to hear how many yards KT had, unless you are praising his ability. KT got those yards because he worked his ass off. He didn't have any free yards; he fought and worked for all of them.
As for Treon, what am I supposed to say? The OLine haven't helped at all, but the guy just sucks right now. I think Mac wanted to make him a pocket passer and he's not. His confidence is shot. He's making poor decisions and can't hit anything. I wonder if we wouldn't be better just running the wildcat. Yes that's sarcasm, but I bet we could catch Bama off guard for a drive by running a hurry up wildcat. They'd adjust after that drive though.

Thats not at all what coach Mac said or what the analysts are saying. The first thing that will be mentioned again this week is what trash the OL is.
Frankly, most of you just dont know shyt about football. Its why you get surprised when four of our OL last year get jobs in the NFL and when one went first round.
Hell, we have replaced two starters with true freshmen in back to back weeks. That fact alone should tell you how the unit is performing. (Note: its still a remarkeable thing that Mac pieced together an OL that functioned at all and didnt get shutout often this year.)
Now you blame it all on Treon. After you spent the first half of the year barking to each other about how terrible Kelvin is.
The fact that Concerte and T are leading the charge should all you need to know.
But, yes, Treon is shellshocked right now and the game is moving too fast for him.

You can see that Treon often had no time to throw or that no one was open but you can also see that there were plenty of times when it was all there for the taking. That game was two struggling offenses trying desperately to move the ball. One team however was occasionally able to hit a big pass and flip the field, despite a strong rush and mostly good coverage. The other was not.

The red zone failures doomed us.

It was frustrating as hell. Statistically we were outplaying them well into the 4th quarter. More yards, first downs, etc. Missed FGs, missed red zone chances, missed big play opportunities. Eventually you have to make a play if you're gonna win. We didn't need many, just a few and we couldn't get them. That safety was a perfect example.
