Talk to me about Trask


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I actually like him a ton.

He improved his mechanics from last season, reads the field well, decent zip to throw into windows, good ball placement, his mobility is comparable to Teddy's.

Ask me again after the combine. If he remains a QB that's outside of the top 10 I'd actually be all for trading back up to get him. I still like him more than Lancr.

No late first rounds trades anymore, please. I have seen that story with Hurney too many times.

How is his deep ball?  I know I seem to say this all the time but if any QB is limited on his deep ball your setting yourself up for a mediocre offense.  We have the weapons to stretch the field but don't really have a QB to take advantage of it.   We don't need a younger version of TB.

Here is The Draft Network's write up on him post-2019 season, @Jeremy Igo. I believe he has made some corrections to his mechanics, although admittedly I have not watched much UF other than highlights this season.

Quote

Pros (+): After having  never started a game in high school all the way through the beginning stages of the 2019 season, many questioned his motives and why he played the game if he was only going to continue to be a career backup. The same story came to fruition with the Gators as he sat behind Feleipe Franks, but he stayed the course and his regimen remained the same. When his opportunity presented itself, Trask remained ready and flourished as a redshirt junior. Trask is a well filled out and thickly built QB prospect. A physique that holds true to every bit of what his measurables indicate. Containing a clean and directly over the top release, it enables him to get the ball out quickly and in an efficient manner. In the Florida offense, he’s been allowed to throw from various types of platforms (under-center, shotgun, and pistol). His best throws come in the underneath areas when he’s allowed to attack quickly and on schedule. Right now slants, designed quick patterns off of run-pass options, and back shoulder vertical routes is where he experienced the most success. One of his better traits is eye discipline and manipulation. Trask is excellent with looking off safeties and not giving them a beat as to where he wants to go with the ball. He also has the wherewithal of completely leading defenders astray and giving false impressions of where he wants to attack to only work towards the opposite side of the field.

Cons (–): Being that he was a starter for the first time ever in his career during the 2019 season, lots of raw aspects flashed. Trask is consistent with keeping a wide base when delivering throws, but he’s developed a bad habit in his lower half of not stepping with his lead leg (left) into throws. There are rare occurrences of him moving that leg and actually using it in his mechanics. As a result, his accuracy and velocity suffer as a result. It’s highly noticeable that a lot of his passes loft, suddenly die, or taper off during its flight to targets. Possessing a very average arm combined with this fault leads to making life hard on his targets as they’re forced to often make miraculous catches on patterns that should be routine. When operating from the pistol/shotgun, there are many examples of where the designed passing concepts and his drop back urgency hardly ever marry up. The lack of merit leads to him holding onto the ball longer than necessary or his drop back being too fast to where he’s ready to throw well before targets are ready. Trask is a below average athlete with clunky feet that make life outside of the pocket challenging. Comfortable working within the pocket, but when things break down, he drops his eyes and strictly turns into a competitive runner.

The never having started in HS is an interesting factoid. That also means you are going to be getting a guy that is extremely, extremely raw in his development.

If we arent in position to get one of the top 2 QBs we should just fill one of our MANY other needs.

That's pretty much my position if we have a top 10 pick. No reason to reach on a QB. It sounds like the class is loaded with 2nd tier prospects anyway, we can probably get one in the 2nd if we want to bolster depth.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
