Didn’t read the whole thread, but...
If DM wants to preserve the redshirt, then don’t play EJ during what will probably be another ref$u game unless necessary. However, I hope EJ’s performance yesterday gives DM the confidence to bench FF much sooner than what we saw vs mizzou. If FF has another bad day like that, DM needs to put EJ in while the game is still within reach.

He better, this game could cause the fan base to either fully embrace him or turn on him. Got to win this one.

I'm pretty sure the plan is to go with Franks as long as possible, through thin and thick, with Jones only seeing the field after they carry FF off it.
The bowl game. That's where EJ gets more meaningful reps.

Interesting how many of you assume Franks will lay an egg simply because of what happened a year ago.
Franks is a better and more confident quarterback now and the guy I want behind center Saturday versus a still-raw freshman. He's far from perfect, but he's led a couple of come-from-behind wins and seems comfortable in pressure situations.

He's still very inaccurate and he choked big time on the big stage in Jax and then followed that up by stinking up the Swamp the following week. I agree, he's our only option to start. But the leash has to be short. He put on one of the worst performances I've ever seen in last years game. Can't give him the opportunity to do the same this year.
This is a win at all cost game. Losing is not an option.

There are only 12 teams in Division 1 with worse pass defenses than FSU's. I expect us to come out firing.

Don't think it was a waste. It was a recruiting message to UGA recruits.
Come here and get to play or go to UGA where the freshman QB doesn't get in the game.

I hope not, Franks is not a guy you want throwing a ton. Safe throws, yes. He doesn't need to turn the ball over in this game. Franks needs to be limited to 20 passes a game, we need to pound the rock. That includes Franks using his big body as well to get tuff yards. I want to see Franks under center and a RB in the backfield like we did in the SC game some. It was a different look and we really gashed SC going under center.

The freshman QB has won the starting position at UGA the last three years. Our coach insists on redshirting no matter what.
It's a poor argument IMO.

Those screen passes aren't particularly safe. If a WR misses a block or a CB gets a great jump it is pick 6 city. High risk low reward unless they are playing soft Zook/Randy Shannon zone.

Well, if they have one of the worst pass defenses like the stats say, then maybe they won't figure it out. Franks can have a field day, never having to throw across the line of scrimmage. LOL

Gotta ask yourself which game is more important, FSU or the Bowl game? Id say FSU.

I had a brainfart and was thinking Fromme was fresh THIS year.
But nevertheless, two of their last three have STARTED.
Its a weak point given that Mullinz has refused to ever start a freshman no matter what.
Im not sure how much hay you think is made by saying "See! EJ played one series innthe Ugaly game!"

We still lost, so what did it matter? Like I’ve said plenty of times, Toney could’ve ran those same couple plays EJ did. EJ got to run a few plays in a big time rival game, will that ultimately have any effect on his development? Honestly, I think Mullen should’ve gave him more plays in that game since he decided to use him, Franks was terrible, except for one throw. EJ was a curveball that UGAy probably wasn’t prepared for. EJ threw a nice ball the one time he was allowed, Mullen should’ve gave him more of an opportunity than he did.

Do you remember all the chatter prior to the game about how little playing time the freshman was getting and some of the UGA faithful was wanting to give him some time to see how he would do?
My guess is Mullen was playing off that with potential recruits. Has nothing to do with From me or other freshman QBs starting.
