I don't think you can study accuracy.

You can study it and become more studied in accuracy as well as more studied in spotting the wide-open receiver in the end zone wildly waving his arms while you run out of bounds with the ball tucked away oblivious of the fact.

After awhile, you become a professional student.

You don't understand the first iota of what his job is. And what the football field looks like looking throw a six inch wide gap in a helmet throw a bunch of moving 300 pounders.

He doesnt just scan the field left to right as fast as he cans. He is taught to read the defense, and from that defensive look at certain routes in a certain order, and timed in a very specific way (with when the receivers are making their breaks and actually just before it).

There's always some moron screaming about seeing someone open on a cross field throw to the backside. Don't be that moron.

The nine-volt on your sarcasm meter obviously went out this evening.

Toney was wide open right in front of him against Kentucky in game 2 and Michigan in game 13. Franks never saw him either time. Dude is who he is. I don't expect any significant improvement this year.

My bad.

I was firmly planted on the Ox Bandwagon indubitably believing EJ would literally and figuratively pass FF in Spring. Alas and alack, not to be. FF has shown quite the committment and resolve therefore I am honorbound to give him his props due. How high he climbs the elite QB ladder this year is more dependent on OL play (double duh) than his perceived lack of field vision carryover from early last year. 65% comp/4K yds/30 tds is not an insurmountable bar.

But, then again, wtf do I know since I was abducted by aliens 10 years ago and did on me sum o' them thar sexshal thangs that left me hung like a Tijuana Show Donk (no relation).

Don't agree. We don't need our QB seeing ghosts. Also need run lanes. Gotta have time for plays to develop. Need Oline.

Yep we better hope our running game doesn't regress where it isn't respected as much. That was the big improvement in 2018 I think yardage wise.

However, utilizing the weapons will require quick thinking and decisive actions by the QB. Something that Franks struggles with.

Actually I want to say Will Miles wrote an article before last season on Franks and said he was actually more accurate on throws when he made a quick decision. That he was actually more inaccurate when he had time to think in the pocket.

I'm pretty sure that a$$holes sarcasm meter requires a 24volt system.

Yeah, we dont want him thinking too much back there.

Luckily most of Mullinz offense is one or two reads.

He’s got what it takes. 2019 looking like a big year for us

My thoughts are...he improves...based on 2018 Spring Game vs 2019 spring Game.

But there is Serviceable/Good and there is Top Tier.

Many on here are far better at coaching and analyzing talent then me. Can you really coach Field Presence?

I know what see I on the field and IMHO, FF can be very good but not elite or great.

I heard he is expected to finish second in the Heisman balloting, behind Jeff Dipshyt.

Mullen completes Franks.....that's all we can expect.

Franks stats:

When playing teams .500 or better (Missouri, Georgia, Michigan, LSU, MSU, Kentucky, South Carolina)

101 of 183, 55.2% completions, 1,135 yards, 6.2 yards per pass, 6 TD 4 Int, Rating 75.74

When playing teams under .500 or lower division teams

87 of 139, 62.6% completions , 1,322 yards, 9.5 yards per pass, 18 TD 2 Int, Rating 127.45
------------------------

If these numbers are true and the totals seem to be correct that is a stark contrast and much more of a difference than most QBs when comparing playing better teams to weaker teams/lower division teams.

I bet most QBs ratings follow the same trend. What I see is room for improvement and if the game slows down for him his rating against the good teams goes up a bit.

Id have to see some other comparisons to believe that. Actually, Id expect the 55% to 62% number to be wider.

Luckily, scUM sucks so we should expect the performance w saw vs Meatchikn and Clowntown.

Can Feleipe Franks be a top-tier QB in 2019?
