Ranking SEC QBs Week 1

[Zambo]

 

[Durty South Swamp]

I mean, just 18 months ago or so we were trying to convince ourselves we loved Franks, and Trask was an injury-prone high-school-backup joke that was an afterthought. Even bringing up his name brought scorn and mocking upon you.

Now Trask is the best QB in the SEC and Franks is the worst. Who on Earth would have believed this?

for the first time in 13 years we finally got rid of the bad one and kept the good one.

I'm a bandwagon fan. I've always admitted it.

I think I'm safe to assume that if he starts sucking again I'll be quick to change my position.

Damn Lesbians....

We have running backs for running the ball. It's a sign of a schitty coach that tries to beat a square peg in a round hole. A good coach works within the capabilities of his personnel. Yea Trask can run it occasionally to keep the defense honest, but he needs to be in passing the ball.

Most all of the last national championship winning teams (and the playoff loser too btw) did so with mobile QBs who could reliably scramble or offer a credible rushing threat:

Burrow in 2019 (Lawrence was the loser)
Lawrence in 2018 (Tua was the loser)
Tua/Hurts in 2017 (Fromm was the loser)
Watson in 2016 (Hurts was the loser)
---Coker won in 2015, but Watson was the loser
Jones in 2014 (Mariota was the loser).

That's 11 of 13 QBs in the playoff era who were counted on to be able to run.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

able to run is not the same thing as we use him for our third and one or fourth and one fullback.

none of those guys were run like Mullins QB/FB.

True, but then again, I never made either claim.

Having a mobile QB who offers the threat of running is increasingly impt for college football success.

I think your hopes are clouding your logic. I want a vertical passing game, but Mullen is Mullen.

I can definitely see some more vertical passing game when AR takes over . Just going off of what little we seen last year. Delrio looks like more of a pocket guy than a runner to me aswell if I remember correctly.

Looking at the wrong side of the equation, AR from what I understand has the arm talent. But he isn't the one that makes the game plan.

Mullen didn’t have Dak throwing sideways. Why would that change now? We threw sideways for one reason only. Franks.

We’ll be throwing vertical the remainder of the season. Now, if we can get the running game going and not make the same number of mental mistakes on defense, we could have something here.

 

[gatormandan]

and not make the same number of mental mistakes on defense

Yeah, about that...

Mullen has thrown sideways from the day he became an OC.

 

[Spurdog98]

18 months ago Trask was an injury prone, he was knocked out for the season two of three years.

Michael Jordan got cut from his HS varsity team but it's joked about when people bring it up.

This explains why Tebow holds the Sugar Bowl passing record to this day.

Yes, one game they actually let him throw.

The other game they kind of opened up was OSU 1996.

Wasn't that Addozio at OC?

don't stop him now, he's on a roll.

What does that have to do with a kid that was knocked out for the season his Red Shirt Freshman and Sophomore years of college ball? You are injury prone until you prove you are not injury prone. 18 months ago he was injury prone, then he completed a full year without injury. You can bet it is on draft profile as well.

The story of Michael Jordan is more like being a back up in HS and being the back up to Franks. Not the fact he couldn't stay healthy.

[GatorRaz]

Franks as qb is equivalent to Charles Barkley as a golfer!
