I assume you mean that he is not really good enough to be playing at Florida? If so, yep. Never in question. The point that is in question...? Is he any better this year? Will he get better through the season?
No he is not good enough. Too inconsistent! I would give my left nut for a better QB and better OL!

That Pierce run was outstanding. He has to get more carries and earlier in the game. It's clear he's a playmaker and he's got some speed.

Yeah, this offense is painful to watch. Surely Franks will read faster as he gains experience, won't he? Won't he? Won't he? Please say he will.
Call me crazy, but he’s already vastly improved from last year. I know that ain’t saying much, but improvement is there.

Glad you can see it. For some reason I can't. Loved seeing functioning ST, but the offense is more frustrating to me than Butter's.

It’s still not good, but it’s better that Butter’s. I think the OL isn’t the biggest issue by far. We aren’t going to see good QB play until it’s fixed...which is at least a year away if not more.

I celebrate the veritable plethora of looong lost hustle plays ST executed we haven’t seen in one game since a double blue moon.

Defense shutdown a high powered O.

We executed in all phases to give us a Close-Enough-For-Govt-Work Half A Hundred win!

Today: Mission accomplished. I am of good cheer!

Well done men!

Whatever tomorrow brings, Bring it!

And our fav Cover2 must’ve been grinning ear to ear. He’s been telling us about Pierce for 5 years it seems. Looking forward to Cover’s takes.

It's the same old drill from the past... transition. The jury says the O-line is abysmal and inherited from Coach Shark Lubricant. I'm not holding DM responsible to the point of proclaiming guaranteed failure at Florida. We agree a bad O-line pretty much does guarantee a cluster **** of inconsistency on most plays. This line has no bad a$$ attitude characters, a few fat Pillsbury dough boys... D, jesus, I don't even know what a linebacker looks like anymore. My eye is on DM and recruiting now for his guys that can play his comfort calls and what he starts doing with EJ, as that kid is going to have to start his QB style lineage, most likely. If no growth in O-line skills and overall winning attitude doesn't happen noticeably between now and next season. I'll bring the tar and feathers, someone grab a buck board. Go Gators!

The plays have been there to be made but the players aren't making the plays. First two drives we had a drop from Scarlett when he was wide open with plenty of room to run on our first 3rd down play...a mix of a poor throw and Scarlett just dropping a ball that hits him in the hands. Then Lewis drops a ball in the endzone that was contested but it hit his hands and could have easily been caught. On Franks' INT if he throws that ball on time like he should of instead of 5 seconds too late instead of a INT it's a TD easily. Franks is god awful and this offense will never take off under him.

MSU under Mullen is what you get when DM recruits his guys. If what you are hoping for is 4 SEC loses a year, Mullen will get you that. It will get him fired here after 3-4 years here.

My conclusions from the game:

1. We need to limit the carries to two people: Perine and Pierce
2. I hope we can get Heggie and McCoy back. Our running game will thank us.
3. Franks is who is. Inconsistent, slow to read the field, slow to let go of the ball. My recipe is to limit the RPOs. Give him a set play, pass or run. Give him lot of playmakers as dump offs, Massey, Toney, Pierce
4. Our defense was playing hard in the first half. We need to sustain
5. Thank god for ST. Keep doing what you're doing guys.
6. #21 on defense is not ready for prime time yet. He needs help by the safeties.

Good Lord..... It's embarrassing how full of hate you Dumpers are..........


Can't allow anyone to enjoy a 30+ point win because you are miserable.

News flash! It doesn't matter how much you moan and groan, Mullen is here for 3 years minimum, our OL sucks and our QB's are terrible and yet we just won a game by over 30 points....... Get over yourselves and enjoy the win. :headslap:
