This team is better off with a healthy Franklin, and it's not even close. It's not even close to being close.

I don't think Berkstresser showed anything that would move him into more PT with a healthy James Franklin around. It wasn't an ideal situation for a first-time starter, but Berk was not overly accurate, and his YPA were disappointingly low.
If Franklin is healthy and can go, he's the starter. He's got 20+ games left as the starter at QB for Mizzou. And that's a good thing. His dual-threat blend makes Missouri's offense more efficient, in my opinion, than with a stone-footed guy back there (Berk, Gabbert). If Berkstresser had lit up ASU, it might be different. But a game where he merely "was OK" isn't going to change the picture.

Franklin completed 64 percent of his throws a year ago. Smith only reach that mark one time and was almost 10 points worse over the course of his career.

I fear that Clowney is going to clown our tackles. It's more of a reality than a fear.

He's a different challenge than Jarvis Jones. Will be interesting to see if they can do a better job of playing around a traditional end.

Healthly Franklin is good - I'm just worried that this shoulder injury will be an ongoing problem.
And also, with regard to Berk, the offensive line didn't exactly give him great protection. Tough to judge him based on that one game. |

I believe the coaches said the lapses in blocking scheme the past two weeks were due to guys "not getting the calls correctly". That's at home - with zero crowd noise. I fear for James, and his patched up shoulder, taking the middle of that line between the hedges. Also, I feel like we'd be better served going with Britt, Boehm, McNulty, Meiners, Morse on the OL. I think McNulty is actually a better snapper and I think Max Copeland, while a nice story and an "effort" guy, is in way over his head. Obviously not a coach, but I'd think the right side of the line would be better having Meiners and Morse over there vs Copeland and Meiners. |

He was OK. Just not much more than that (which is what he would need to be to earn more PT). I'd take Franklin at 85-90 percent over the kid at this point.

You still believe this? I re-editerate, I still think the more Playing time Berk gets, the better he will get and in my humble opinion...I think he should start.

Franklin is not cut out, mentally or physically, to play against top-flight SEC competition.
