Bucs coaches excited about "impressive" Kyle Trask

[Spurdog98]

Dont' be surprised if his arm strength doesn't get better. Pro strength coaches know their shyt.

I am pulling hard for Trask to succeed. I hope he becomes the next GOAT.

 

[Gator By Marriage]

Remember, Trask has the least playing-time experience of any past or present NFL QB.??

There have been several with even less experience. Kyler Murray only started one year in college and had thrown a total of 90 passes in college before that. Kurt Warner started one season at Northern Iowa and was pretty much a scrub before that season. But the most remarkable QB of all has to be Matt Cassell. He never started a game at USC (at QB), where he backed up first Carson Palmer and then Matt Leinart. He threw a total of 33 passes with zero TDs. Despite this, he had a long NFL career where he played all or part of 14 seasons and started 81 games.

I have to think there are others.

Matt Jones in this same draft class had the same number of starts as Trask. The Bears former quarterback Turbiksy only started 13 games. Usually if you start less than 22 games in college the chances of truly being successful long term aren't in your favor. Not to say it can't happen, but it's the exception not the rule.

I’m pulling for him to succeed and really hope he reaches his goal. It won’t be easy though. There just can’t be that many female midgets in the world.

More than you might think.

This is a good poll question: What Gator QB had the best NFL career? What about Spurrier?

Grossman. By far.

Cam. If you count him. But I don’t.

Grossman
Matthews(for longevity)
Johnson(see above)
Spurrier
DW(could’ve been higher if he’d wanted to)

That would be my order.

Assuming we’re not counting Newton,
Brissett, or Driskel.

Shaq can be a female midget if he, err, if SHE feels like a female midget today. Theoretically, EVERYBODY could be a female midget.

Would put Spurrier and DW above Johnson.

Little surprised that former Iggles quarterback John Reeves didn't make your list. Also would be in the mix with Spurrier and DW in placement, was in the league 9 years.

Honestly, I’m going strictly off stories when it comes to Spurrier. I think I’ve seen one play from him in the league. Also, I do agree that DW could’ve been higher. No reason he couldn’t have stuck around much longer than he did, which may have overtaken everyone I listed minus Rex. He just had other priorities.

On Reeves, like Steve, I don’t remember him at all. RC was my first QB. As a 41 year old, I don’t get to say things like “way before my time” very often, so I’m taking advantage of it.

Agree on Wuerfell, he had multiple offers to stay in the league (not just the skins) when he walked away. We are in the same age group, but I remember hearing my dad and his drinking buddies talk about Reeves before games in the 80s. His son was our quarterback for a season in high school, before John took the job as South Carolina's OC in the 90s.

Not to be a heretic, especially given my avatar, but I don't typically associate Good Gator QB in the NFL with SOS/HBC.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the stats don't look that great.

He mainly sat behind Brodie and then ran for his life at Tampa Bay.
Might have been a really great QB under different circumstances, but given the stats, it doesn't look good.

Two things that stuck out:
Rex and SOS threw the same number of INTs: 60
Danny's middle name is Carl.

Thanks for sharing. Another factoid I found interesting, none of those three Gator QBs completely bailed on a southeast-Asian country "just because". I respect that. Shows character.

You ever seen Joe Namath's career stats? 173 TD's and 220 interceptions.

In his defense, I think he was generally pretty hammered.

yikes... oh, and a Super Bowl ring with a pre-game Win Guarantee.

Bloomington, Indiana is the real deal...you are thinking Bloomington, Illinois.
