Seems like all the talk is either about why Del Rio sucks or how Trask and Franks have unlimited/limited potential. What about Appleby? He had a great first half versus Tennessee, and admittedly sucked in the 2nd half and all of the Vandy game. Why not put him next week and see if he has improved? It's not like we have much to lose.
Everybody talking about putting Trask or Franks in this year is wasting breath. Mac is NOT going to burn either redshirt at this stage. I'll be surprised if he starts Appleby, but shocked if he hands over the reins to a true freshman quarterback right now. All that starting Trask or Franks is going to accomplish is seeing more struggle against superior competition (ironically, Presby would probably have been the best game to start Trask/Franks if Mac was so inclined). Appleby at least has experience and enough knowledge of our playbook.
So in conclusion, I have very little faith in Del Rio, but I am faithful that Appleby should start and could improve our offense this year (I wouldn't say the same for our true freshman QBs). I do look forward to the Franks/Trask competition, but not this year.
Name and town if you wish to opine . . .
