Del Rio - Del Rio is nice but nothing special when it comes to throwing the ball. He isn't going to blow you away.
Appleby - is a head case due to the situation at Purdue.
Franks - Most gift physically of the quarterbacks but his footwork is atrocious.
Trask - He wasn't filler. Filler offers don't happen months before signing day. He has legit talent. Much of the video on him I can't find any more. You could tell from that video what Mac saw in him. It is the mechanics. Because they are so flawless, it allows him to put the ball where he wants it again and again. I also read a couple of articles (I'll see if I can find them again) from people who had watched him play. They said he had real touch. In the tape, he reminded me of Danny and his perfect fade throws. Now all that is nice. The fact is he didn't play much because his team ran a spread-option. I live in Jacksonville. Blaine Gabbert was practice king, electrifying people with how he played in practice. In games however, he sucked. We'll see. Trask will get a shot.
I agree Trask will get a shot. Hopefully, Del Rio or Appleby turn out to be good game managers, and his shot is next year and not this year. No matter how much raw talent Trask may have he needs a good year of practice, being coached up, and SEC side-line experience before being ready to play. That said, I am more excited about the prospect of coaching up a talented player as compared with trying to make an untalented player adequate. That certainly didn't work out well with Treon.
