So none of you guys wanna talk about Franks? The guy that actually played in highscool.

All I can say is I hope Franks is better than when I saw him in the U.S Army All-American Bowl. He was...

No, no, no. Franks and every other QB wasnt great in the Army AllStar game and Trash did a smoking job in his last 7th grade game, so its obvious who is the real elite QB here.

Thats it, this is the real content we should be discussing. The real meat.

 

[GatorJ]

I'm not getting on a linebacker because he can't cover a receiver one on one. I'd ask why he is in man on a WR in the first place.

You want to know why?

Lots folk on here have stepped up to defend the Trask-Mac decision = lots of posts trying to deflect
ridicule of our "without blame" kid. Would love to read praise-reports on Felipe -- already a hero-Gator
for leaving LSU, showing that recruits need to consider UF as more attractive than LSU.

UF's CFB history is replete with incoming unproven college QBs who turned out excellent.
None of those greats proved themselves before they stepped into real-game playing and did it right.
So, no posters here can prove or disprove any untried QB's worthiness.

I think this is an extremely fair question. The only showing that most of us saw was pretty bad. He's been a non--story through spring. Shouldn't we be bashing him for not living up to his rating just as much as we bash Trask for not being a HS starter?

Off the top of my head I can't think of any names that didn't involve SOS. But, Mac is the first potential QB whisperer that we've had since the HBC.

Kerwin Bell. Just thought of one.

Exactly. He's a complete bust

Trask for Heisman!

 

[maheo30]

Nobody has been talking about Franks because he's at the bottom of the depth chart. If he had Trask's talent maybe he'd get a little more pub. :cool:

No, we shouldn't be trashing any incoming freshmen players, period.

If we're as strong and deep as we ought to be, none of them should have a whiff of getting on the field at all, except possibly on special teams or in mop-up time five minutes after the start of the second half.

 

[GatorStud]

We just need a functional QB not necessarily outstanding... I mean we're a consistent timing pattern completion and point of contact broken tackle away from being real good. Come on Gators, get up and GO!

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Very pleased that Franks excelled. Bodes well for the future. Unless, of course, the future is now.

Yes. If the future is now, that doesn't bode well for the present.

 

[ATXGator]

Yes. If the future is now, that doesn't bode well for the present.

You get an automatic like for the Spaceballs gif. "we're at now, now..."

Not sure I understand. Spurrier was highly recruited. Always suspicious that his preacher Dad received a call to the Gainesville area.

 

[rogdochar]

Yes. If the future is now, that doesn't bode well for the present.

To me the long accepted quote:
"History repeats itself." Begs my corollary,
"If history repeats itself, then the future repeats itself"

 

[NCOGator]

Kerwin Bell.

Do you mean our next OC Kerwin Bell?

 

[maheo30]

This is in a free section so I assume it is ok to post. Trask outperforming Franks?

https://florida.n.rivals.com/news/trask-proving-he-belongs-at-uf-with-strong-spring-camp-performance

Highlights from the article:

1. Trask might be the backup and not Appleby.
2. He gets guys open with his eyes. I saw this on his tape. That tells me he is very advanced for his age.
3. As Tabor said, can he do it when the bullets start flying?
