Does Trask start next week?

[CGgater]

Lol ppl are acting like he almost brought us back.

Uh, no.

 

[NOLAGATOR]

We scored 7 pts in a qtr n 5 min. Lol ppl are acting like he almost brought us back. I agree he should start but he wasnt anything soectacular. Nearly threw a pic6 and the Toney catch n run inflates his numbers over Franks. If not for that, they had pretty close ypc’s.

Were you watching the same game?

It was clear, Franks was way off his game the last several games.

Funny, Mick Hubert and Lee McGriff saw it the way I saw it.

All I know is what I see. Every O&B and last week where Franks and Trask BOTH played, Trask looks more accurate.

I know SOS would not have a problem pulling FRANKS.

It was prevent, until the redzone. However, let's face it, FF hasnt completed passes against prevent and wouldnt have hit that pass to #10.

The one guy who can provide information on Trask is LDR. He's seen him more than anyone else. On his recent podcast, he spoke at length about Franks and Trask. Here is the rundown,

1. The reports about Franks laughing about being pulled could be true. LDR said that it would be like him.

2. Trask is as hard a worker as there is on the team. He keeps his head down and is the same whether in front of the cameras or not.

3. Franks arm strength is in the Mahomes territory. On a scale of 1-10, Franks is a 10. By comparison, Trask is an 8-9.

4. Trask would have had multiple starts last year but was at no point healthy.

5. Unlike Franks, accuracy is one of Trask's strengths.

6. In his opinion, Trask is a tad faster than Franks.

7. The downside? LDR said, "He is raw. Fans will need to be patient." He said he did what a lot of inexperienced QBs do. He is fine in practice and is the prototypical dropback passer. When playing in front of others, he began running around and became a different QB.

8. In practice, he was every bit as good as Franks. Franks won the job because had starts under his belt. If 2 guys are basically even, why go with the guy with much less experience. However, Trask has done everything necessary to earn a chance to start. He deserves it.

Yes, I know people don't like Del Taco. But, he can provide insight no one else can.

I have to agree with LDR for once...He's a better coach than QB.

But if EJ was developing, it might be time. He should at least play a half against ID

Exactly, Missouri was playing off coverage, giving up the short stuff. Also cycling in backups... we don't know what we really have in Trask, but Franks has been a disaster since teams have had enough film to know how to attack him in this offense (not that he was really lighting it up before hand). Blame Butters for this mess.

 

[Gator Fever]

The Back Nine: Franks still most ready at QB lol

Fever, that might be quiet true...

 

[Swamp Donkey]

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.

And Del Rio's arm strength was in the middle-school girls' flag football territory at 1-2.

you forgot to put the negative symbol before those numbers.

With what you hear about him I think he might become a distraction next year if he is still on the team. It wouldn't bother me a lot if he was yanked again and moved on to another school.

All the inexperience with Trask and he is still a better passer. Polish him up and he might just shine. If not, you haven't lost anything. We aren't winning with Franks.

He said he was a 5. I call bs.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He can throw the ball 700 yards.

 

[gatormandan]

He can throw the ball 700 yards.

Yep, it takes him 100 throws to do it but he can get it done.

 

[GatorJB]

Was he talking about his throwing arm or something else?

Agree strongly with this. Teams don't have a ton of film on Trask and going with him for the remainder of the season could spark our offense by virtue of having someone different in there that defenses aren't dialed-in on how to defend. The knock on him has been Franks is supposedly more "mobile"...but he's been underwhelming as a runner all season, so do we really lose that much by putting Trask back there?

Trask is the type of 3 star that ends up starring at smaller schools precisely because someone took time to develop them and be patient taking the inexperienced throws in years 1 and 2.

 

[NOLAGATOR]

At least Trask can see the open receiver.

But after hearing Mullen, he attributes Frank's poor play to the line.

My thoughts are, its line we've got so why would Frank's get any better?

Try Trask...Get the accuracy and run the ball.

 

[TheDouglas78]

Yep, it takes him 1000 throws to do it but he can get it done.

Fixed it for you
