Interceptions

[GatorTom85]

If there was ever any doubt that the Donkey will be openly rooting against Trask, those doubts have been dashed. I don't understand it, I really don't. We're actually stretching the field like he's wanted for years and he's still unhappy.

Thus why I think he should be referred to as Swamp Douchekey until he stops acting like one...

Only on this board do I find it weird that our QB has to be defended from other Gators. Sometimes I feel like I'm reading opponent boards reading about Trask. I was never a pumper for Franks being our starting QB. But I sure as hell never trashed him. Good god....

I know, right? This kid has done nothing but demonstrate what it means to be a dedicated Gator! First he's stayed here through some pretty tough times, even though he's already graduated, just because he really wants to be a Gator. Then, when he finally gets his chance, he leads us back from an almost certain loss to a victory over UK. After that, on his first start in 7 years mind you, he has a solid game overall leading us to the biggest win over UT since 2007! Admittedly he hasn't played like the best QB we've ever had at this point, but he's played pretty darn good overall for a guy who has only had a game and a half as a starter!!

This kid has shown a level of dedication to the team we all theoretically say we love that is almost incomprehensible in these days of the transfer portal and to literally trash his name is utterly despicable! Swamp Douchekey and all those like him can totally f--k off as far as I'm concerned! Maybe they'd all be happier as FSU clown fans since that world certainly seems to fit them better...

Arm strength seems to have been the deciding factor in Dans choice for a starter at the beginning of the year. I think stretching the field with long throws was the way they wanted to attack the better defenses in the league. Elite defensive backfields will always be trying to pounce on everything they can keep in front of them. Mullen might have felt he had a couple turnover machines in Franks and Trask and just wanted to go over the top.

Trask doesn’t heave it as far or fast as Franks but has better natural touch. And if you look at guys like Pitts, Jefferson, Swain and Copeland you’ve got real weapons in the 10-30 yard range, Cleveland and Hammond for longer patterns 30+ yards downfield, Toney and Perine for LOS throws, and they seem to benefit right now from the accuracy and consistency of Trask over the strength of Franks. So far.....

The remaining questions now concern whether this mini revival of fun and gun works under elite pressure while throwing into the teeth of some very good defensive backfields, something Mullen did not really want to do with the QBs currently on site, but now HAS to do despite the fact that both Franks and Trask have thrown some howlers and fumbled under pressure behind a raw OL.

What semblance of running can we come up with?
How far can we ride this one dimensional wave?
And if Jones is a factor to alleviate it how much can Dan channel the earlier two headed monster of Leak and Tebow?
Can our guys keep making plays and hauling it in under tighter coverage?
Just how far can the Trask Train travel before it derails?
Will it?

All this hand wringing over what 1 poster writes on a board that is intensely loyal, but overall minute in the overall Gator fandom (sorry Ox, it’s just truth)? Just because SD posts 30+ times a day doesn’t make him a Florida beat writer. Who the F really cares what one guy calls the Gator QB? You all need to move on more than the legal ass needs to change 1 letter.

It’s a sports bar-esque board. Suck it up, Trask isn’t reading our bullish!t.

Plus, one guy has to be Norm (Clearly the Donk) and one has to be Cliff Claven (Ltraz). Though they are both my favorite posters, or at least in the top 20, or at least top 30, I think.

Btw sofla is definitely Frazier.

I got a "Woody" from just reading that. Good post SEC14. I was gonna say that has gone full blown T**** (cant say it cause its POlitical)
doubling and tripling down even when he knows he is wrong now. But you are right. In the grand scheme of this board, him calling the QB names is just loose gray hair on the barber shop floor.

Law has mocked anyone on this board over the last two years who even suggested that Trask get a shot. It’s now payback time.

He had to escape to his "safe place" after an ugly win. He almost gave up on life. His wittle emotions were hurt. Now Trask is making him look like a total idiot. Sit back and enjoy folks. This is epic.

So.... actually the whole thread was in response to people bytching about two interceptions, and me sayingnthe dont matter. Literally that is what tue thread is titled and the first point made. Literally.

Some people would rather not score and punt.... just to avoid the possibility of touchdowns throufh the air and the occasional interception... bc Woody Hayes, Chump and Crete say interceptions are da devil.

You could probably add Meyer to that list earlier in his career. Herman and Day helped bring him out of his shell.

Hard for a tug boat to turn an ocean liner around, but sometimes they do. Good luck.
P. S. Remember the Warren mistake. She could have gotten out from under Pocohontas with a simple apology when the test results blew the narrative out of the water.

Fascinating. Law has been compared to Trump and Warren within 5 posts. 2020 here we come!

FTR, I like the idea of calling him pocohontas going forward.

Donkey, how can you give me a "Drunk" on this post? Are you suggesting it isn't true? Even you don't have that much gall.

I've always told you I don't care about you mixing it up and sparring and insulting people all day long, but when you turn out to be wrong, I'm going to enjoy watching you get it back your way.

You've been all in on Trask being a disaster and an embarrassment, and now it's time to pay the piper.

I haven't said a thing. Attack away. Im here for this. Im wearing my big boy pants.

You were all in for Frank's three years ago too. We were going to blowout Meatchikn and win an NC. We will see how long you last.

But you know the rules about bytching about thumbs down ratings.

 

[UFHealthGator]

Nothing wrong with chucking the ball downfield. It's long overdue. However, absent improvement in the running game, we become just another Pac-12 freak show.

The running game HAS to get better if we are to reach our goals.

To be a PAC-12 team, you have to keep your "Defense" on the sidelines every time the other team gets the ball. I don't think our defense is that terrible, even with 3rd and Grantham.

Unfortunately after that I saw him play.

This isn't speculation, Trask has played in 2 games now. He looks better than Franks ever did. Do you have even the slightest bit of credit to give him?

Yes.

But that doesnt change the fact that the Univerity of Florida should NEVER be taking kids who didnt play in HS. We shouldnt be reduced to taking projects that most Div 3 schools wouldnt gamble on.

We should be landing one or two all.americans each year, not raiding Houston Baptist's backup plan.

You were the one who madel the thread mocking Butters for "landing" a HS backup. You were right then also.

Its cause he can't stand the fact that Trask is a 2* prospect and is having success. He also has to have all bases covered so that he can say I told you so if Trask were to falter and crash and burn.

Great point. I think his disdain for Trask is rooted in something simpler - @Swamp Donkey does not want guys like @Ancient Reptile to have any evidence that stars do not matter. It is a long simmering feud.

It must be tough to have to type all your whiny, name calling rants one handed while holding up your pants with the other...
