As it stands now, I would say number one Malik Zaire, then Toney and who knows who Mullen brings in or develops from within (Trask, Allen, Franks).
bingo. People complain on both sides but you can't have it that way. They say its the coaches and QBs fault well well which is it? Seriously haven't had a good QB since Tebow so I'm thinking it's coaching and I'm giving Franks one more shot next year.So, did we have bad coaching or not?
I'm very confused.
All year I've heard nearly every poster b!tch and complain about how horrible Mac and Nuss were doing at their respective jobs. And if you subscribe to that notion, how then can you turn and be so harsh towards the QB? I understand that Franks looked pretty bad, but doesn't poor coaching affects a player's ability to perform? Especially a Freshman playing in his first collegiate games.
I'm not saying that Franks will grow into an NFL caliber player, but I'm willing to hold off on passing judgement until I see what he looks like with proper coaching. I feel like that about all the players. Mac failed these kids. Let's see what Mullen can get out of them.
Dak was a borderline 3 star prospect IF even that.
I think toney's the only one on the roster that has that "it" factor or mental make up to play qb at this level. Durability is the biggest concern with him. I wouldn't expect to hear anything about him changing positions till spring though.Trask & Allen seems poorly suited for Mullen. He was able (with Tebow) to work with Leak but it clearly wasn’t ideal.
If Mullen decides he can work with Franks I’ll wait and see what comes of that. He has a great arm. Simplified reads might suit him a lot better. His long, loping stride looks awkward but he covers a lot of ground quickly.
Toney has “it”. I think t was Swonkey, maybe Instigator, that noted Toney’s HS completion percentage was actually more indicative of success at this level than Franks. He can really run and seems to read/react very efficiently.
Zaire doesn’t have “it”. He’s ok as a backup.
Driskeling, Google coaches, and EABOD. I've been on here less than two months and y'all have expanded my vocabulary by three terms.We are going to end up with Franks Driskeling again out there.

We're seriously screwed - pending unforeseeable developments. Maybe Mullen pulls a rabbit out of his hat, but I'm not holding my breath. When everybody DM offered said no thanks, losing Corral became a huge concern. Too bad, but facts are facts and we don't have anyone on campus with the physical tools AND the mental wherewithal to run that offense. Corral wasn't a perfect fit by any means, but he's far more talented than anyone currently on the roster. If he has real character issues, that are documented by someone who doesn't have an axe to grind, then fine, maybe we are better off without him. But the fact remains, we don't have jack at QB. Prepare yourselves for a long, difficult path back to respectability. I hope I'm wrong, but I really don't think so.
