Trask!

[Swamp Donkey]

He's probably our 3rd string QB at this point.

Keep telling yourself that. Even if it is written on paper at some point, like when Chris Stephens was 3rd string behind Brock Berlin and Palmer while Grossman was with the scout team. If it really got down to it, they would pull the redshirt off Feleipe (same with Grossman) but it's best for him to get as many reps as possible in he meantime. It doesn't matter if Trash gets only 10% of the reps as the 3rd stringer because everyone, including him, knows he will never be anything but a thinly disguised walkon (and less talented than the walkons we are used to landing around here).

Here's why Kyle Trask will be great:

1. He wore 18 in high school. Peyton Manning wore 18 in the NFL.

2. He is listed as 6'5 by many services. Manning is listed as 6'5.

3. Trask threw a TD in high school. So did Manning.

4. Trask has a big forehead. Manning has a big forehead.

5. Trask played football in Texas. Manning played the Texans in Houston.

I could go on. Clearly this is destiny. Trask has greatness in him.

But what is coach Mc gonna do when he jams his junk in one of the female trainers faces?

I never said that what you are saying is wrong, but yeah, on paper, he'll be the 3rd string. I wouldn't be surprised if he passes Franks, because he did look like trash. Trask may not be a 5*, but Franks may not even be worth a 3rd star.

Let's just say I'm pretty comfortable sitting here on the side of all the scouts, the people who pick the All American teams, and all the power 5 coaching staffs from across the south.

You can stand over there with Trash's middle school coach.

How bout this Law (since you're so confident), if Trask ever starts one game here, you'll buy me a customized Trask jersey? Deal?

 

[CaribGator]

I think our 3rd stringer this year probably has a better upside than our starter at the end of last year.

What will LDR think of this bet?

 

[Yankeetown]

It's really pointless to run down our players, especially when most of us have never seen some of the newcomers play (as Gators). Just relax, hope or trust that the coaching staff can help each of them improve, and then wait and see who wins out.

I can only imagine what some of you would have said, had internet forums been around then, about a skinny 5th string QB who became the Gator's starter with a fair degree of success, and then drew an NFL paycheck for 14 years. A kid named Shane Matthews.

If he ever becomes the starter, I will pay with my own money to buy you a Trask jersey so you can post a pic of you wearing it here on the site.

I get that you're not anticipating great things from Trask and you think Mac wasted a scholarship on him. However, I don't understand the venom. Did a 2* QB shoot your dog and steal your girlfriend back in college?

You want to compare Shane Matthews, a guy WHO WAS ALLSTATE IN MISSISSIPPI, to a hunk of Trash that hasnt started since SEVENTH GRADE??

Yes, we once had champions lined up 5 or 6 deep, we are FLORIDA. Now we are lucky to steal players from FIU or from Div 3 schools and you morons want to act like everything is going well.

Keep chugging that Swag Juice.

Geez Law, we are the Gatorchatter team here, talk about a team being better
without Treon's dour influences.??

 

[gatormandan]

I think Trask banged laws girlfriend or boyfriend?

No, he shot my girlfriend and stole my dog!

Okay, if Shane had too much rep when he arrived, then maybe Kerwin Bell will explode your head. A walk-on who started as 8th string. Also had great success as a Gator QB, then played pro ball in the NFL, WAFL, and CFL for 14 years.

But that's really not the point, is it? This wasn't really about that the PLAYERS bring to the game. It's about what what we Gator FANS bring to the discussion. And disparaging the players here, where they can't defend themselves, is the particular brand of forum behavior that I am calling out. There's no upside to it, it's unpleasant, it demeans the conversation, etc. Find a better way to vent your frustrations with the Gator team.

Next you will expect common sense and decorum in presidential elections.
