Franks is a clumsy QB. He just accidentally stepped on EJ's foot and broke it. Man, he's clumsy.
WRONG. I heard on the interwebs that his maternal aunt was from the Northwest and was a good ice skater in the 90s. She taught him a thing or two about getting your job back.

Not directed to just you J, but why the hell is LDR being quoted in so many threads. Regardless of the Franks mess, this year has been more enjoyable than the last few for simply not having to discuss or read about LDR. FFS, please let his Gator connection be long forgotten.
Because he has a podcast. That make him part of the "media". He now can tell us who should play QB, who we should vote for and what we should eat for dinner...

At this point, I'll take Hurts, Bryant, or any other dual-threat QB with a pulse that wants to come here.

Once the season is over and Mullen evaluates things, this is pretty much where we stand:

- Franks - out (can't run the offense)
- Trask - out (injury prone, can't run the offense)
- EJ - in (inexperienced, needs to add size, learn the playbook)
- Jalon - in (inexperienced, needs to learn the playbook)

So, that gives us two freshman QBs (if EJ redshirts). We need a grad transfer.

Depth chart should look like:

1. Bryant/Hurts (or other grad transfer)
2A/2B.EJ/Jalon
3. Trask (if he's still on the roster)
4. Franks (if he's still on the roster)

We should go after Bryant....he would provide that stop gap that we would need to get the Jones boys acclimated to efficient productivity

Trey only called the play not line protections. The center called the line protections.
“Called the play AT the line for Jordan Reed”

What part of that implies that he called out line protections for the center? :lol:

Reed had a notoriously bad football iq when it came to the playbook. That’s why he’s a tight end now.

Our QBs are getting hurt by bunches. It does not Hurts to have a few more on the rooster. We are afterall TQBU. Ours leave and make it big elsewhere and sucky ones come here and stink it up. Need to get many and we might find a Diamond in the the rut.
I had to double check to see if this was Rog or Mohammed.

We really should just ride or die with EJ at this point. Give him the plays he can run and tell him to go run it. The kid is elusive with the ball in his hands. We’re playing Muschamp, EJ won’t have to throw much, just option them into submission.

If you were Bryant would you come to the Gators?

Pros:
1. Scheme fit - it fully utilizes your skillset
2. Receivers - Good amount of talent there
3. RBs - Assuming that Perine does not go to the NFL and that we get Wright, that is a good RB room
4. Coaching - Mullen is a good QB coach and decent play caller
5. QB competition - No worries there, you will win the job, period

Cons:

1. OL - Unknown how good the OL will be next year. With another year under their belt under Savage and another year under Hevesy, they should be better.
2. Scheme - Are you really an NFL QB talent wise? If so, coming into a spread option scheme might not be your best bet although Mullen has had a few QBs drafted into the NFL.

Good points on Bryant. The knock on him at Clemson was his inability to throw downfield - which is why the freshman took over, as he has opened up Clemson's downfield passing attack. At this point, I'd take any QB that can complete a pass 10-15 yards beyond the LOS.

Agreed. To be fair, the guy Bryant lost his job to would probably do the same to most QBs in the country, regardless of their current roster. Barring significant regression, I would be shocked if Lawrence is not a top 5 pick the moment he declares for the draft.

That said, I think Bryant would be a perfect fit for Mullen’s offense. He is much more capable than any QB we’ve landed in a decade, aside from Grier. Concerns about his arm are overblown in my opinion. He is not perfect, but his experience is a tremendous asset and it will be invaluable for an offense that has been devoid of real leadership for some time now.

I hope Mullen at least shoots his shot and goes after him. He’s an ideal player for The Joneses to learn under.

He has a 65% completion rate behind a not necessarily great Clemson OL. I agree with you. Concerns about his arm are overblown. Lawrence's passes are little too soft for my liking and I can see an experienced db jumping the route.

Granted these highlights are pretty limited but I like the way that Bryant steps up in the pocket and avoids the rush. Those who think that he cannot throw it accurately and long watch some of his downfield throws:


After watching the highlights, my first thought is, their current QB must be pretty dam good if this guy is riding the bench.

this kid is a quitter-am . not wanting him in Hogtown

His transferring shows instead of quitting, he is reactivating. Reactivating to have a better chance at extending his playing into more years in the NFL. Mullen needs this Bryant next year. The only guy to get mad would be Franks - let Franks transfer to Valdosta State University. Let him become Bell's project. Solid test for Kerwin.

Since Tebow, we've only had one QB in Kelly Bryant's league in Grier and we chased him away.
