I think Trask has a huge upside. No way Dan lets him walk. He's been the best Gator QB since Tebow. Imagine what an offseason he will have with the starters. The fix is pretty easy for the offense, bring in a few grad transfer/JUCO offensive linemen and give Trask the time he needs to open stuff up downfield. He could look like Burrow. We already have the skilled talent, just need to give him the blockers. Mullen has got to be all over this like white on rice.
I have. IIRC I liked the hire while you were pining over Chip.
You need to do your homework on Dan Mullen.
Serious response: you think he has enough starts to get drafted? I think he needs another season to get a serious look but I’m also not convinced that Mullen is adaptable enough to change his scheme to fit a guy like Trask.
He's not changing his entire offensive philosophy for Trask. It won't happen. If Trask has NFL aspirations, he'd be smart to leave UF.I have. IIRC I liked the hire while you were pining over Chip.

I’m speaking to the RPOs, etc. that Trask is asked to run but he’s not suited for. Seems like we run best when Trask is under center but we rarely do it. We rarely run sweeps but they’ve been pretty successful. We would have to change up our blocking schemes too. Maybe @ltraz or one of our more knowledgeable posters could do a break down of some of the changes that would need to occur to give Trask the best opportunity to sling it WITH a complementary running game.Huh? He DID change the scheme. He upped the number of passing plays from 40-52%. That left plenty of opportunity for the running game to shine.
You can argue that what he lost was the ability to catch the defense flat footed by throwing the ball. You can also argue the point is moot. The passing game consistently nailed the running game.

Exactly. Mullen has been pretty loyal to success. Hell, he tweaked the O so Chris Leak won a natty.No question Mullen is a run-first thinker. Regardless, he’s not going to just turn the ball over to Jones without seeing noticeable improvement. Trask made very few mistakes. I’m not at all convinced Jones is at that point.

He was forced mid-season to tweak some things due to circumstances. He won't do it leading up to a fresh season. He wants a running QB, period.He did change the offense.
Sorry if the history books offend you.Good Lord I hope you get the help you need.
Wow, the owner of the biggest Gators sports board is calling for the starting QB to be assaulted? Cmon man. Delete these posts and go restore something. I'm shocked to see something like this from you.He was forced mid-season to tweak some things due to circumstances. He won't do it leading up to a fresh season. He wants a running QB, period.
Wouldn't totally shock me if Mullen sets up some kind of Nancy Kerrigan-esque assault on Trask's knee so he can justify not playing him.
You’re all over the place. You say he’s changed the offense then acknowledge that he still makes Trask run up the gut. All he’s done is stop calling as many running plays - that’s not changing the offense, just the execution. My point is that he would have to change the offense to the point where Trask doesn’t need to threaten the defense with his legs at all. Because he has a bunch of offensive assistants that have primarily worked only in his system, I don’t even think he has people on staff who could make a different system work.Moot thinking unless Trask is able to run between the tackles. He can’t.
