Trask or Allen next year as starting QB?

[Frozen Gator]

As it stands now, I would say number one Malik Zaire, then Toney and who knows who Mullen brings in or develops from within (Trask, Allen, Franks).

Toney... see wishbone break

So, did we have bad coaching or not?

I'm very confused.

All year I've heard nearly every poster b!tch and complain about how horrible Mac and Nuss were doing at their respective jobs. And if you subscribe to that notion, how then can you turn and be so harsh towards the QB? I understand that Franks looked pretty bad, but doesn't poor coaching affects a player's ability to perform? Especially a Freshman playing in his first collegiate games.

I'm not saying that Franks will grow into an NFL caliber player, but I'm willing to hold off on passing judgement until I see what he looks like with proper coaching. I feel like that about all the players. Mac failed these kids. Let's see what Mullen can get out of them.

bingo. People complain on both sides but you can't have it that way. They say its the coaches and QBs fault well well which is it? Seriously haven't had a good QB since Tebow so I'm thinking it's coaching and I'm giving Franks one more shot next year.

We're seriously screwed - pending unforeseeable developments. Maybe Mullen pulls a rabbit out of his hat, but I'm not holding my breath. When everybody DM offered said no thanks, losing Corral became a huge concern. Too bad, but facts are facts and we don't have anyone on campus with the physical tools AND the mental wherewithal to run that offense. Corral wasn't a perfect fit by any means, but he's far more talented than anyone currently on the roster. If he has real character issues, that are documented by someone who doesn't have an axe to grind, then fine, maybe we are better off without him. But the fact remains, we don't have jack at QB. Prepare yourselves for a long, difficult path back to respectability. I hope I'm wrong, but I really don't think so.

Get a grip would ya?! Sky is falling for some of you on that ledge. Just see what happens. Trust the process...

Dak was a borderline 3 star prospect IF even that. He was a total project and look what Mullens did with him. We will get a good QB developed no doubt about it baby dolls!!

Trask & Allen seems poorly suited for Mullen. He was able (with Tebow) to work with Leak but it clearly wasn’t ideal.

If Mullen decides he can work with Franks I’ll wait and see what comes of that. He has a great arm. Simplified reads might suit him a lot better. His long, loping stride looks awkward but he covers a lot of ground quickly.

Toney has “it”. I think t was Swonkey, maybe Instigator, that noted Toney’s HS completion percentage was actually more indicative of success at this level than Franks. He can really run and seems to read/react very efficiently.

Zaire doesn’t have “it”. He’s ok as a backup.

Where do you get this idea? In 247 he was ranked 601 and the 3 star prospects ranges from 274 to 1493. In rival he is a 3 star too.

I think toney's the only one on the roster that has that "it" factor or mental make up to play qb at this level. Durability is the biggest concern with him. I wouldn't expect to hear anything about him changing positions till spring though.

We are going to end up with Franks Driskeling again out there.

Driskeling, Google coaches, and EABOD. I've been on here less than two months and y'all have expanded my vocabulary by three terms.

I'm not so worried about Corral now. If he is decommitting for probation laced Ole Piss, then there is more to the story than probably any of us know. Sounds like more Drama. Perhaps the bagman and pot mask are still in Oxford.

Not even gonna try.

Trask has the build and put 15 lbs on Frank's and he's 6'6 240 lbs. If I remember correctly didn't Trask break a few long runs in his first O & B game against the 1st string D? Going to be interesting this off season to see what develops. Franks is probably our best shot as far as game experience goes. No matter how you look at it this is a pretty scary situation we have at QB once again.
Go Gators!!!

I do actually kinda feel like jumping out of a window when I watch Franks play.

It's hilarious to read the "logic" behind some of the posts here. Frankly, we don't have a single quarterback on the roster who's anywhere near ready to run Mullen's offense. I hope the rest of you are ready to adjust your expectations for 2018.
