Not at all what I said. I said Trask is incapable of running between the tackles, which is key to making Mullen’s running scheme click.
Who starts at QB next year?

It doesn't seem like it. You, the owner of the largest Gator sports forum should not posting things like "Wouldn't totally shock me if Mullen sets up some kind of Nancy Kerrigan-esque assault on Trask's knee so he can justify not playing him."

It was called hyperbole to make a point. No one other than you would take it seriously. I thought it was rather amusing myself.
And boy, I wish we were the largest. Maybe someday.

Track is in grad school and has 1 year eligibility left. I think he comes back.

I think a lot of people were surprised at EJ's throwing ability. He definitely needs more in-game work.

I don't think Trask is nearly as much of a detriment to our run game as our OLine is. Just saying. If the OLine gets stronger and better with their techniques so we can have a half way decent run game, Trask is the man.

My point is some of these players probably read this trash we write here. As a group we shouldn't be advocating for the coach to Kerrigan them.
I live in South FL. Amy Fisher, the porn star/Long Island Lolita lives one neighborhood over. So does Vanilla Ice's ex wife. Vanilla lives a few blocks away too. Too much violence, we're all pacifists now.

I wasn't advocating anything violent. I was making a point that Mullen would probably be secretly relieved if Trask was not around so he could implement his offense.
I think it would be awesome if the players read Gatorchatter but sadly I don't think they do.

Lol, maybe so. You doubted Mullen being willing to stick with Trask because of it going against his run-first philosophy. I replied that he done just that and that there were still plenty of opportunities for the running game to be productive, yet it wasn’t.
On this last point, Trask being zero threat to run, esp between the tackles, which when it works makes it harder for defenses to protect the outside, we appear to be in agreement.

I think he went with Trask because of necessity, maybe Jones just wasn’t ready. And I don’t think he’s changed his offense, just his playcalling. Same playbook that requires the QB to be a running threat though. I don’t think Mullen can make an offense work efficiently if his QB isn’t straining the defense with his legs.

Can’t disagree with anything there other than labels. Changing the play calling to me is the same as changing the offense.
One only need look to Tim Tebow and Dak Prescott for examples of the prototypical Mullen QB. That ain’t Kyle Trask.

Ok I get it now.
I would be shocked if players didn't read this stuff. I know an SEC player and he reads all the forums constantly.

Why does the running game all of a sudden look decent when Jones is in? Would need someone who understands blocking schemes better to weigh in but is it possible the blocking schemes we use now don’t work because the defense totally disregards the QB as a runner?

Sadly, I don’t think he was. There’s a dark side there that we all just dance around because we like the site and/or have too many Ox bucks to risk. If a comparable forum popped up tomorrow and there was a strict assurance of a smooth transfer, I think several people would come forward with concerns.
