There's something about the way he says, "Do you realize that at 18, you've only lived one-fourth of your life?"

WTF are you talking about? No one wants a fifth string QB. He had no other scholarship offers even two years ago.
We can only hope some D3 team will take him so we can use the scholarship in a productive way. We can easily land a better
QB, someone who at least has experience playing in college, as a walkon. You should never waste a scholly on a guy whose only chance of participating is as the holder.

I would be happy with a good game manager at QB. Alas UF has not played such a player in a long time.

With this coach, the goal will always be a game manager.

Yep. I heard Mac refer to Corral as a "game manager" several times.

Some of you guys kill with your telepathic abilities. Practices have basically been closed so none of you (that means everyone on this board) have any idea how these Qb's are reading the defense and checking into the right play, seeing the field and finding the open receiver, feeling the defensive pressure and moving up in the pocket (assuming we have one this year), getting rid of the ball if nothing is there, hitting their receivers in stride when under pressure and not just throwing against air, displaying the best leaderships skills etc. Unless you have telepathic ability you have no idea who is doing the best job in all of these areas. There is way more to being a QB than just having a strong arm and looking the part when throwing to routes on air (which is all we've seen at this point in fall camp) There is no doubt that Franks has the physical tools that you are looking for in a Qb, but if he is still lacking in many of the areas that I mentioned above and LDR (even though he doesn't have the arm of Franks) is way more advanced in the system and in all these other areas, then it might be smart to start LDR against Michigan and work Franks in over the next few weeks against lesser opponents. Franks was very raw coming out of high school and may not quite be there yet, but some of you guys don't care who gives us the best chance to win this next game, all you care about is being right. You are pretty much the same guys who bash Mac at every turn even though he took over a situation where there were little to no skill players on offense, no decent Qb's on the roster, and an offensive line that didn't even hardly have enough guys to practice, and the ones they did have couldn't have started for the University of Jacksonville much less the Gators, but he somehow managed to win the East his first two years while putting the pieces in place to get Florida back to where we should be. You guys bashed him for his recruiting, and anybody with any knowledge of recruiting in the day and age that we live, knows that these kids start getting recruited at a young and it takes time to build the relationships needed to bring in a top class, but you guys expected him to do it out of the gate, because "hey we're Florida". I am going to go ahead a make a prediction that Mac is going to prove you wrong AGAIN. So just sit back and trust the coaches, you know the ones that have seen every snap, every throw, every read, etc. and trust them to put the guy in there who gives us the best chance to win. And if that is not "your guy" then support Coach Mac and the team anyway instead of getting on the internet and making a fool of yourself once again...
