FF made some clutch throws and runs today to help us win, I didn't boo Franks so Im pretty sure his antics wasn't aimed at me probably just the assh0les that booed him.

Another overstatement. The fact that you considered that "well" says all we need about the level of QB play over the last 8 years.
We can't throw the ball downfield. At all.
Bravo, Ancient. I dare say he put a Tebow licking on the kid who got initially flagged for targeting (the call was overturned). That kind of intensity is not lost on your teammates. Franks came to play today.If you guys had your eyes open, you saw a hesitant, tepid, barely willing runner become someone who wanted the ball. Did he "put the team on his shoulders"? He did in the sense that he wanted the ball and he got it and delivered when we most needed a fourth down TD while trailing. Did he deserve the booing? Yes. Was he entitled to give it back when he succeeded? Yes he was. The "fans" can stick a thumb up their collective derriere.
Will he now have a better mental grasp of the game? No. Will his passing be more accurate? Probably not. But will he be a better QB? Yes he will.
And what can UF fans do? Carp and complain. Hmmmm. Maybe all UF fans are millenials.
That's the first time in 35 years of watching sports that I have seen a player tell his OWN CROWD to shut up.
I've come to the conclusion that not only can he not reign it in, he doesn't want to.
FF plays his best when he imagines it being him against the world. I think he manufactures this stuff to motivate himself.
Some athletes are that way.
Grown men boo college kids and then whine when they get shushed.
What fangs? I enjoyed the hell out of the comeback. There are things I like about Franks, including his willingness to play hard. However, I'm embarrassed by the way he acts a lot of the time. Taking swipes at your own fans didn't work for LDR, and it isn't going to work for Franks. It doesn't work for ANYONE. Make a statement with your play and win the fans back.In real life, Ox is such a kind and gentle soul. You should read the stuff his wife and friends write about him on FB. You'd think he was Mr. Rodgers or something by the way they gush over his compassionate ways.
For some alien reason, the fangs come out here.
The quote was that I EXPECTED EJ to win the job by now.I don't know. EJ has played about less than a dozen plays this year and has either fumbled or looked shaky as a leaf on most of them and that's not a knock on him as he's still a first year player. I'm no Franks fan by any means BUT he may be the best option in Mullen's offense as long as he keeps running more often....if he plays and win vs. the Clowns I'm not gonna b!tch about him being out there even if it's not pretty...
QB whisperin'.Just a reminder. Mac was a couple hours late to the pivotal meeting with Grier and his dad because he was out selling FF on Florida.
The guy just isn't terribly bright. Love the win, but his constant punk-ass antics really annoyed me.
You're the quarterback of the Florida Gators. Grow up.
Discuss.
That's a compelling acquittal of your feelings about Franks.What fangs? I enjoyed the hell out of the comeback. There are things I like about Franks, including his willingness to play hard.

Even Mullen agreed in his conference that Franks shouldn't have done it.
We still have no passing game with Franks and I'd like to see him on the bench as a result.
I meant what I said. PE doesn't care if we're 4-8 or 12-0, as long as everyone had a good time. After all, he lived through 0-10-1 so things could always be worse.That's a compelling acquittal of your feelings about Franks.
I was referring to your post about PE.
If that actually made sense, it may have been an intriguing comment.As a friend of mine pointed out after the game, Franks was just following the lead of his coach.
Meyer's attitude about freshmen apparently rubbed off on him. I too figured EJ would be starting by now. What Mullen has done with Franks, for all his inadequacies, is nothing short of impressive. He's brought us from behind three times now. It's allowed Mullen to bring Jones along more slowly.The quote was that I EXPECTED EJ to win the job by now.
Id agree he has looked shaky but everyone looks shaky at first.
I have no faith innthis staff's ability to assess talent though. It is as easy as looking at Toney, DB decisions (29 and 13 playing over 31) and the TEs to see they dont know what the fvkk they are doing and/or play favorites with seniors or kids they like better.
Neither Grier nor anyone else was going to save Butters from being Butters.Besides that, if he did good here, Butters would still be the HC here. Adios cokehead.
