In one breath you bring up UGA injuries at QB...but totally skip over Trask's injuries early in his career.
Arik Gilbert to UF!!
- Thread starter PacoGator19
- Start date
I’d guess bc it’s a nice point to make about a possible time Mullen made a coaching mistake. We don’t know that’s why Frank’s won the job. You never know how guys practice, and Franks did have better measurables and a lot of upside. He was also really popular with his teammates and seemed like a really good kid, and maybe all things together he gave Mullen more options on the field. The better question might be how many 2* backup QBs have ever become heisman finalists? Mullen was able to change the approach and lean into what Trask was able to do. Not many coaches are willing or able to do that.
I'm sure Mullen gave the initial edge to the kid that could handle the running aspects of the playbook and had a year's experience as a starter over another kid that hadn't hardly seen the field in 5+ years and showed little running ability. Only after Franks proved that he couldn't handle the mental aspect, and also that he could not be coached to handle it, was a change contemplated.
I think it is a tribute to Mullen that he was open-minded enough to see the positives in Trask's game and be willing to adjust his play calling for him when Franks was hurt. We also forget that Emory Jones was on the roster and able to run the entire playbook. It would have been much easier for Mullen to put the kid in and let him run the same playbook and learn on the fly, rather than going through the adjustment that putting Trask in required. But Mullen saw the potential in Trask and took the more difficult route.
You nailed it. In fact I was very surprised when Coach Mullen called on Trask rather than EJ.
The new HC kept the previous years starter as the starter.
I didn't agree and said so at the time, but I understood why he did it, which you either don't, or you're just trolling.
However, both Franks (Falcons) and Trask (Bucs) are now both in the NFL....
And btw, are you still claiming to speak for everyone in the conference, or just for yourself?
Asking for a friend.....

you understood?
you heavily implied that there was some sort of Frank's mafia that was influencing Mullen not to put Trask in.
I think Mullen is hard headed sometimes on that stuff but fate stepped in and allowed Trask to show what he could do. It was clear at least the year he finally took over he should have been the starter game 1 of that season. Franks almost cost us the Miami game also with all that Driskeling.
Taught us a lesson: Do not steal QB recruits from LSU.
Yes, I know they had Burrow, but he was a transfer.
Tell the truth...the year Trask took over...I remember a guy named Fever saying we should go ahead and insert Emory and take whatever bumps and bruises happen. 😂
Yep I never expected that but I wanted Franks out at all costs and just assumed it would be better to give Jones the experience.
And now, back to the thread topic,,, just for a change....
Would a Gator fan really want to trade any of the Gator TE's for xfer Arik?
I think that Arik backed off coming to UF after he took a good look at the Gator TE's.

My guess is Gilbert became defiant towards The Bowl Cut Kirbs in a profanity laced tirade.

Fake news InstaFool….. everybody that’s been on this board for longer than a handful of years knows you count and post more recruit stars than all the other posters on this site….. maybe on the entire Yahoo platform…..
in other words, you’ve been full of fodder your entire posting career
We know he's over 80, maybe he honestly doesn't remember his 10,000+ posts where all he talked was recruiting stars.
And the subtleties of my postings have always escaped your dumb azz observations.

Speaking of players on profanity laced tirades, I sure hope Mullinz seriously considers the pOSU LB who quit on them. We could use a little attitude in Gainesville ourselves.
Ohio State LB leaves field, curses out school on Twitter after heated sideline moment
It’s probably safe to say that K’Vaughan Pope won’t be seen in an Ohio State uniform any time soon.
You played Clemson and scored nothing. Some on here, maybe you, maybe not you, stated that there were a bunch of guys out for that game. Ok, I'll buy that. But your last three games have been against trash. Stats from those games don't mean much.
But you now get Arky, the nation's surprise team. They look legit. Not elite, mind you, but legit. They blew up TAMU, but they have some issues on offense this year. So I'm looking forward to the game. I think we can get a real, actual barometer reading on your team. If you beat them by 30, you might actually be as good as you think you are.
LOL. Bowers is going to be an AA.
Washington should be back for Arky this weekend.
We weren't full strength on offense for Clemson... even JT Daniels was hurt going into Clemson (oblique), and we haven't been full strength on offense yet this year. We cover against Arky Saturday.
If that Washington kid has some quicks and good hands he's got the size to be special. Bowers is just a WR too slow to play the position. Justin Shorter plays WR for us and he is 6-5 228.
Bowers had the 2nd highest speed in the country week 2 on his 89 yard td. Nothing about him is slow.
