The Gators have been struggling since 2009 to get production at the quarterback position. John Walter Brantley IV has been the most productive. Jeff Driskel showed promise, and he doubled his four-year Florida production in only one year at Louisiana Tech. Will Grier was on the path to greatness at Florida, as shown by his Heisman-worthy numbers at West Virginia.
Feleipe Franks is the most improved of the bunch, although it is still early in the season. His passer rating this year through game 4 is 155.7. The Gators have not had a passer rating over 140 since Will Grier, and before that, Tim Tebow. Franks should surpass Driskel in overall production since Tebow by year's end, and he has a shot at having the second-most efficient season since Tebow, behind Grier.
