Yes its true Trask played against soft prevent D, but most of his passes were accurate and hit receivers in stride. They would have been good against tighter coverage as well. Franks could not hit a receiver in stride if his life depended on it. Trask should be getting all the first team reps this week and given a shot. So sick of watching Franks miss pass after pass.

Ahmen Nola. Would Spurrier be paralyzed by this decision?
IMHO, for the rest of the season, I just don't see us getting better, Frankly.

Mullen wants seats filled in the Swamp?

Play Trask and EJ the next two games. Many fans will come just to see what they have.

To me, its about FSU, a Bowl Game and future development

Trask faster than Frank's lolzzzz... Trask might be better at a lot of things, but a foot race isn't one. That dude is slow and uncoordinated.

Frank's probably is most ready. That doesn't mean most effective.

How do you get trash ready? Who knows? It has literally never happened to my knowledge in history. There's never been a kid who hasn't played since middle school playing quarterback, probably in any division.

Maybe some rusty guys coming back from WW2? Were they even eligible then? Leather helmet football was different though. Not nearly as complicated as today.
I'm constantly amused at your bashing of Trask while being inexplicably soft on a guy who is anything but ready. Franks' decisionmaking is consistently bad. Maybe not AS bad as a year ago, but it remains bad. He kills drives.

Spurrier could do something meaningful, if not great, with Trask. I'm pretty sure he'd be regularly tossing the visor over #13.

I think his read and release is faster.

Again, Frank's is not good under pressure and he is incapable of relieving pressure.

When they load a box you throw deeper. That doesn't work if you can't see the receiver.

Watch Drew Brees. He hits guys and hits them fast.

I can not seem to read through this entire thread, but want to add this. I have for years from Zook, to Meyer, to Muschamp, to McElwain to Mullen thought/wondered if a particular QB starting was a condition put on new coach hires by the UAA/AD. If Mullen is not willing to dump Franks, I will consider it more evidence supporting this hypothesis.

If true that the AD/UAA puts such conditions on coaching hires, I consider that the problem this program has had over the last decades more so that facilities, more so than coaching ability etc. Of course it is related to coaching ability as great coaches don't take jobs with strings very often. Hamstringing your coach and making him play someone cause him to lose his team, lose the fan base and sets him up for failure.

the convo is about running ability. I even stated "foot race" in the post. Where you got read and release from that I havent the foggiest. There isn't a person in the stadium that isn't aware of how slow Frank's release is.

I'll take release and timing over arm strength every day of the week.

There are untold stories in NFL history about guys with big arms who went big bust. Bobby Douglass (sigh), Jeff George, Ryan Leaf. I could go on and on. Dime a dozen.

The best passers never had the best arm. They had the best mind.

Certainly many long passes in college are quick passes thrown just as the WR goes by the cover2 CB and before the safety can arrive. That throw is one of the most important ones a QB has to make and often it is released immediately after the snap in anticipation of the receiver getting to where the ball is thrown.

Danny Wuerffel made a living on that. Nobody's putting him in the strong-armed category.

No question. Brings to mind SOS alternating Noah Brindise with Doug Johnson every other play to beat undefeated no. 2 FSU 32-29 in 1997.

But the POST is what?

I'd get your "CONVO" if you were talking EJ but Trask and Frank's are what & what

Trask is more ACCURATE and he seems to read faster.

But I'll give you running is not Task's stength...HAPPY NOW?

SOS was spectacular with QBs, absolutely meticulous over mechanics. Archie Manning made a big mistake not allowing Peyton to be recruited by Spurrier over a silly concern re Spurrier's demanding ways. He'd have squeezed every ounce of ability out of Manning, possibly even another national championship.

Archie looked out for his sons, but he make the wrong call on that move. As a former great quarterback, and 4th in Heisman voting in "69 and "70, he may have felt a little competition on a personal level from Spurrier.

SOS would pull you at the drop of a visor.

That's how Danny W won the job.

Old-school Steve. He demanded perfection from his quarterbacks. Some embraced the challenge, others shrunk from it. It was impossible to not get something positive out of the experience.
