I explained myself more than once, and you're stuck in your opinion. I'm walking away. You should too
Franks or Trask may start the bowl game

Nothing of importance, but dinoboy is hell bent on fighting about something.

Nebraska sure as hell won't be better than Bama, Michigan, or FSU. Probably not better than LSU. You think our W-L record is hollow? Theirs is a damn cavern.

Well played sir.Appleby has thrown 2 ints on 140 pass attempts this season in game play.
Franks threw 4 ints in shared time in a spring game against back ups.
Btw, this isn't an endorsement of Appleby, just giving the stats.

Yes yes, blow an entire year of eligibility because a guy wasn't ready three weeks ago, but now he's had three whole weeks of practice WITH THE 2'S and suddenly he's ready to start.
You moron ;)
I specifically said that he would not be ready to start vs Alabama. I mention that Franks has had the 2nd team snaps to point out that he hasn't been sharing them with Trask and therefore is the more prepared of the two. If the staff has deemed Franks #2 and thinks he may be able to play in the bowl then I would suspect that he will get the next three weeks of first team snaps. I'm assuming a lot here. Namely that Franks has showed progress, is the future, and will be ready by the bowl game but not sooner.
I don't give a **** about the RS and neither should anybody else. If Franks can give us three seasons as a starter that puts him in very rarefied air as a Gator QB.

We'll make a bet, Franks isn't playing this season unless injuries force him to.

A recurring theme in this thread is that if a (our) QB is "any good", he'll be a three and done.
Conventional wisdom (as I understand it) is that college football players should only leave early if they're going to be drafted in the first three rounds. Of course, whether they will will actually get drafted that high if they do leave early is speculative for most.
Let's look at some data.
Last year in 7 rounds, NFL teams drafted 15 QBs. Only 6 of those 15 were in the top three rounds.
Round 1 #1 - Goff from California. He was an EE and then played three years.
Round 1 #2 - Wentz from North Dakota State. A 5th year senior.
Round 1 #26 - Lynch from Memphis - Redshirted, then played 3 years. A fourth year junior.
Round 2 #51 - Hackenberg from Penn State - a three year player.
Round 3 #91 - somebody from North Carolina State - a 5th year senior.
Round 3 #93 - Kessler from USC - a 5th year senior.
Conclusion: you have to be a huge amount better than just "good" to successfully leave college as a QB after three years and be drafted high in the NFL. Half of the serious money drafted QBs this year were in fact 5th year seniors. Only 2 QBs from SEC teams were drafted at all.
The "somebody" from NCSU was of course Jacoby Brissett. I'm sure some of you were furiously pounding "future NFL" about him on your keyboards when he was here, and it's just my shoddy memory that doesn't remember.
And the 14th of the 15 drafted QBs was Jeff Driskel. You/we didn't love him too much either.
(Of course, we have to acknowledge that both Brisset and Driskel were here under Muschamp.)

I wouldn't bet a nickel on whether or not he plays now or ever. My comments are mostly about not giving a damn about the RS.We'll make a bet, Franks isn't playing this season unless injuries force him to.
