You can try to justify your bullshyt statement all day. It doesn't make it correct.

Get over it. You'll have to deal with being called out on BS in your own way.

It does make it correct until you can show me Smith and Prescott were named the starters prior to the other QB getting injured or that the QB stats didn't improve when they took over.

I don't know anything about Smith. Neither do you. You weren't there & weren't the judge of who had the best skill set at the time.
I WAS there for the Prescott years & I DO know he wasn't sitting at any time he was better than someone who started before him. He developed into a better player as he got more experience. That's how it usually happens with most all players.

Your comment about Dan Mullen having a history of sitting better players simply because they're not a senior is total and complete bullshyt. Get the fk over it.

We played like crap both times but won luckily (I will take the wins any way I can get them) but anyone thinking we can win the east over GA with no rushing game needs to see a professional imo.
With someone who can pass and players that actually get excited about their QB, the running game is going to pick up. 300+ yards rushing against the Vols.

Not sure if you are predicting this seriously or just trying for a chuckle, but I am not sure this team could rush for 200+ yards behind this O-Line going against air.

Two headed monster? That's crap. Let's roll with the guy who actually ran the passing offense last night. Sure, he's not a game breaking runner, but neither was Franks! FF always seemed to hand it off, and his successes on designed QB runs (not broken plays) were relatively rare.

going with the hot hand is exactly what he decided to do once he saw Kyle carving their depleted secondary up.

But long term, Trask has proven fragile and using Emory effectively in the run game gets him valuable playing time and preserves Trask from some of the pounding Mullen qbs take.

Third-set fatigue injury. Went way wide to my left for a two-fisted backhand and came down awkward. I knew instantly something bad had happened.

That it happened as you described makes it worse. I thought maybe a dubs partner barreled into you or you stepped on a ball. The force of stopping my momentum is something I’ve thought about on hard courts. Maybe a good reason to play on clay.

Brutal. He’ll likely deal with recurring issues from that for the rest of his life.
No way that's his ankle. And he can definitely make a full recovery.

I had a similar injury in January 2013. Dislocation and break, including the orbit. I had the dislocation reduced and the break surgically repaired a few days later. They couldn't operate right after the injury, it swelled up too much and they had to ice it and reduce swelling. My surgeon was the Miami Dolphins ankle guy. I had a bunch of screws and plates. My ankle required 3 surgeries but I made a full recovery, but it did take a year.

I think Franks is done as a Gator. He will need a lot of time to come back. Not sure if he will transfer or simply try to make the NFL but he's going to need a lot of time and rehab to come back. I feel bad for him.

LOL...yeah that looks bad.

How about Leak & Tebow? (Tebow's Freshman year)
Leak was polished & the better QB then, but Tim had heart & mental toughness to spare. I think I've only met a possible handful of people that thought Tebow was a better choice for starter that year though.

No...I ment using both Trask and Jones.

If Trask is it ...Jones will need some playing time.
