Sad part if Will Grier decided to stay he probably could have started a game or two this year and had a chance to start the 2017 season (instead of sitting on his @$$ until the seventh game of the season at WVU). Now going to 2017 they have LDR, Franks, and Trask. I guessing LDR has the edge with his experience but we're hopefully Franks will pull it out. Doesn't help that the Gators are playing those chokers at Michigan in Jerry's place.

They need a quarterback
- Thread starter Leakfan12
- Start date
Couldn't agree more.
...And I'd add one more thing:
IF one of the freshmen (Franks, by rep, but ANYONE--including a true freshman they somehow grab in the coming class) DOESN'T step up and seize the QB role, and we end up with LDR in there again to start 2017, then I just don't see NEXT season looking a whole lot different from this one.
UNACCEPTABLE, and that will put and early end to the Mac-era...an unfortunate thing, I truly believe (I think we can still take THAT much away from the LSU game: This guy can coach...)--but that probably will be lost by the end of another season like this one. This fan base has been too frustrated for too long.
No, Coach must know: He has GOT to somehow go out and get a FEW more pieces on offense, then hope for at least a little better luck healthwise among those he's already got on BOTH sides of the ball--then win 2 or 3 more games than he managed somehow to eke out THIS time, AND LOOK A WHOLE LOT BETTER DOING IT!
I just don't believe "moderate, incremental progress" will be enough: They have somehow got to make a clear and dramatic move UP in the overall play of the offense. Believe me, I don't WANNA see us try and start all over AGAIN with someone else. But all it'd take is another 1/2 season or so of futile offense and a promising "young up'n'coming coach-of-the-moment" with rumored interest in the UF job, and I think that might do it.
(...oh--and once again I found myself thinking along the same lines bout Grier by the 2nd qrtr in last night's game, too. I mean, What GOOD did that move do him, really? He sure showed more than either of these transfers--and still had more long range potential for personal AND team success on a national scale AFTER the middle of this season, had he hung in, taken his punishment then returned to the depth chart here a few games back. I still don't get much of all that...Still think we MUST be missing some vital piece(s) of info re that whole mess.)
