Horrific to the left side of the field.

That's bad mechanics at work.

That's bad mechanics at work.

Could be a lot of things. Can’t set his feet when he turns, can’t throw across his body, doesn’t see that side of the field timely, etc. Let’s hope he gets better with a full year of experience and actual coaching under his belt.

Its more the capt obvious type.

Folks were talking about the lack of deep throws to Harvin. Harvins skillset was closer to the line of scrimmage. While Frank's has a big arm, his skillset doesnt appear to include downfield passing. I'm sure we'd go downfield more if we had a QB who excelled at it. Frank's can definitely improve at it, but it's never going to be a staple of his.

Two thing have changed:

• Franks has an ARM - BIG arm and is learning to read D

• We now have WR who can get open...DEEP

Holy crap. 36% completion percentage under pressure. Now you can see why some of us are crowning him as a world beater yet.

The things you note are mainly mechanics, but I'm not going to claim to know for sure. It's an educated guess.

@Law. About those horizontal passes ...

Harvin on that counter play was probably the quickest I've ever seen a football player move. I loved that crossing route too because no db could keep up with him after those first two steps. But that counter play was sick. He killed South Carolina with that play in that game where he went for 100 rec and 100 rushing. Harvin is in my top 5 Gators ever.

I remember SOS running a pitch counter a lot.

Nothing has changed. Not sure what you think youre proving to yourself.

Did you forget about posts 1030-1032?

Weak. How about an answer versus a teenage response?

Youre well past stoned. Massive amounts of straight cocaine is the only explanation.

You think throwing the ball downfield 40 times in 13 games means it isnt a dink and dunk horizontal offense?

You said all Franks does is throw short stuff. I said thats because that is what Mullinz calls (when he calls a pass at all which is rarely).

You know I love you. Now I have to point out what a dumbass you are by trying to gloss over my point by stating it's a dink and dunk offense.

There were 53 times Feleipe Franks threw 10-19 yards downfield, no doubt most of them critical to the game outcome, and save for throws up the middle he bombed.

He sucks ass on intermediate throws. What about that is so hard for you to understand?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

So.... 53 intermediate ( 4 a game) and 40 downfield (3 a game). Dude, thats one or two series for SOS. It is a dink and dunk offense, always will be.

Yes, Franks was inaccurate, on everything. Ive said that. Repeatedly.

If Franks could complete a downfield pass do you not think more would be called?
When Franks overthrows a wide open receiver on an otherwise beautifully executed flea flicker most coaches* are going to be hesitant.

*Coaches not named Steve.

We seldom call for that throw, it tends to happen in needy circumstances, and yet you're trying to pooh-pooh it as inconsequential.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Maybe a refresher is needed to remind some of the FF haters what kind of throws he made......most of these really tight window throws were on 3rd down and at critical times during these games......enjoy a small preview of next season......

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Who has said inconsequential?

I said he throws dink and dunk bc the coach calls dink and dunk. How confusing is that?

Show me some place that I called Franks anything but inaccurate. At everything.

Can we show him completing 36% of his passes under pressure?

Defenses are going to be watching a lot of film from last year.

You didn't even have time to watch the video.....Barnboy...... and it didn't show .25% of the tight window drive saving passes he made last year......

Why the eff would I need to watch the video? I already saw every play last season.

He made some great plays last year. He made even more bad plays last year. This isn't hate, just reality. I simply think you need to lower your expectations.
