    UF should have zero trouble finding an elite QB. I thought Franks was getting better?

    A bit but he is still inconsistent. His problem is he cant make good decisions under pressure.

    If they beat UGA, they have a chance to get up to 5 or 6, imo. Franks needs to play smart and not give the football away.

    You know it’s Bama’s to lose. They’re head and shoulders above the rest. LSU is a legit threat, but I think Bama beats them by 15.

    Part of the problem is that the offensive line needs work and Franks panics under pressure. Im not sure he knows how to play smart. They guy throws the ball away more than any other QB ive seen.

    I married into an Oklahoma Sooners Family. I like to cheer for them or Oklahoma State. I really love the Philadelphia Eagles, that's where i'm originally from.

    Football is a funny sport. They can look bad one week, and look like the 1985 Bears the next week.

    I don’t see anyone in the SEC beating Bama.

    Yea, they are stinkin' it up. Giving away all their good players lol. Eagles aren't doing much better, though.

    Mack was asking for way too much $. You don’t pay DE/OLB QB $. Plus, they have a lot of $ tied up in Derek Carr. I didn’t want him when we drafted him. He’s scared to pass the ball downfield. Look at his college tape at FSU. Most of it was dump offs. He looked good in 2015 and 2016 under Bill Musgrave when he was OC. They didn’t re-sign him, and Carr is back to the rookie Derek Carr. If they can get a 1st out of him, I hope they ship him out.

    I liked Cooper, but he’s uber inconsistent. I think he tanked to get out of Oakland. Carr didn’t do him any favors, either. Against the Dolts(nickname for the Chargers), he had 1 target, 1 catch, for 10 yards. Carr threw to him ONCE. I’d want to leave too, if I had Carr for my QB.

    The Bears could afford to overpay Mack. Their QB is still on the rookie deal. I expect a long lockout when the CBA expires. Players got hosed by Maurice Smith.

    Well, UK is 7-1 with a nail biter W over Mizzou. The true litmus test will be a home game vs UGA this coming Saturday, with the winner having the upper hand in the SEC East. In other words, they have the best chance of getting torn to doll rags vs Bama in the SEC championship game.
