Driskel

MF'ing in.

Joking aside: Harris didn't show anything different -- other than producing the exact same awful numbers against good teams.

I think anyone can be a starter at this point, and that Big Mac will probably pick the best going forward. Obviously I think he can start and be a good QB with a retooling and support.

Politically, I think it'd be impossible, although Harris did help out with performing pretty badly in his last couple of games.

We will see in the spring how this shakes out...Grier is prolific passer with quick delivery. Driskel just never developed a quick release and part of it maybe caused by fear of failure. I have an old saying about qbs: think long...think wrong.

I firmly believe we have the talent to compete for the SEC east and to do it we will have to do no worse than spilt our two west division games. The east is not that strong and if Mizzou doesn't pull more DEs outta their azzs that are first round picks...we might have a chance

Pinkel will probably sign some kid who is rated 105th DE in some services and turn out to be a freaking monster.

Anyone think that MacElwain could turn Jeff around and be our starting Quarterback next year.Given the success he has being a Quarterback coach

---

No. Driskel is a lost case.

Id rather see another QB screw up and grow rather than see a QB who cant improve anymore start because hes a "senior" and "looks great in practice".

He has no plans of playing football at UF next year.

Is he focusing on a baseball career with teh Red Sox?

Idk thats why Im asking. I have one more semester here till I graduate, and I haven't heard anything from anyone on campus about Driskel's plans.

Think so...

I think Jeff has become disillusioned with football, or at least those ungrateful a$$ holes of Gator nation that would Boo him in his home stadium.That hurt him. I still can't believe they did that!

He's a mighty fine and classy young man that I would be proud to have in my company.

we werent a very good team all around on offense. our rbs did well at times, but our oline wasnt good half the time(or more) and receiver play was pathetic.

Agree. You should hire him here in a few weeks.

Personal company.

It was pretty bad. Especially at times when in the student section we were encouraging/trying to cheer for him and you could here boos raining down from the other side, yet we always hear from old farts on message boards (not this one) how the students aren't great fans anymore, just there to be there, etc.. He handled it really well though and will definitely do well in life.

Also, Treon was a true non-EE freshmen and not a fourth year junior. Treon didn't turn the ball over as much, and clearly has the potential to get better. Driskel is what he is at this point.

Before I address this: I agree with Lucius -- I think Driskel's head isn't in it anymore because of pretty much uneducated fans who simply weren't watching anything other than Driskel any time things went wrong.

This is akin to blaming the delivery boy for the kitchen's frick up.

Treon didn't turn the ball over as much because he wasn't asked to do as much.

Georgia: 3 for 6 in passing, two of them were bad passes, the running backs did all of the work and he fumbled once, and turned it over.

Vanderbilt: Easiest SEC opponent we had all season. Don't think he turned it over, but, it's Vanderbilt.

SC: 5 of 11, didn't ask him to do much, and he didn't do much.

Eastern Carolina: Driskel crushes Harris in head to head competition 4 of 12 vs. 9 of 11.

3 touchdowns to 2.

FSU: Oh here's some numbers we're accustomed to when having to play in a hostile environment and asked to make a bunch of passes.

13 of 32, 2 interceptions.

I will say it again: Any QB in a system that we just ran would have trouble no matter how good they are.

Our scheme was horrible, and that's why we have a new head coach. We can sit here and say Driskel is bad, but he and Harris when put in similar positions performed just as bad as each other -- although Driskel did do better for the most part.

Alabama, Mizzou, Tennessee, Kentucky and LSU are way worse to start in than Georgia, Vandy, SC and FSU, especially when you have to throw +30 times in terrible situations.
