Most SEC qbs don't really excel until junior years and guess what? Driskel is a junior this year. Experience is everything when it comes to being a qb unless you have great talent or or have great talent surround you. Tebow is one of the few who did manage to excel as a true soph, but he talent around him and the physical build of a TE and heart of a lion.

Driskel will be fine this year...he now has the snaps and lessons under his belt and the kid can run like a deer and has heightbuild to shake tackles. I honestly think SEC defenses will be hard press to defend us this year with better wrs and exp qb in a favorable system.

That really makes no difference -- there have been tons of juniors who have sucked so that's no reason to think he'll be good this year.

I think he will be -- and I like Driskel, but sometimes I wonder if our fanbase shook him up a little too much. The biggest problem is that he can't make a mistake, which ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy. He's going to be so worried about throwing a pick that he may make other terrible mistakes because of it.

We seriously need to support Driskel this year -any way we can- to make sure he's not a headcase.
