re: What's obvious...

Muschamp may decide to split qb'ing against LSU if he and the staff don't feel 100% confident about Treon yet...the last thing you want is to ruin the kids confidence and have him in front of 90,000 laying an egg.

We can beat LSU and Treon will learn from every game and every snap in practice. The situational learning of the game is what is sometimes the toughest for young qbs...hell even older qbs. The qb needs to understand the complete rules of the game and what to avoid doing and what he needs to do. Nothing that cant be taught...but true frosh have only high school as a point of reference til they grow into college.

And if Treon God forbid goes south on us by 2nd qt? Folks will be wanting Driskel and Muschamp is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt.

Grier is not ready....he is slight of build and needs the redshirt....so its the Driskel/Harris show.

Take this fwiw...

Yesterday I was at Wal Mart in Gainesville on Archer shopping for a few things, and I had to return an item I bought 2 weeks ago.

A big guy was talking to the Wal Mart employee handling returns, and I overheard some of the end of the conversation...

Employee : "Tell Muschamp to let Treon start"
Big guy (looked like a football player, but I couldn't recognize him) : "Hes got too or he'll be fired."

Again, could be nothing, and could be flat out BS. But if that guy was on the team, it just shows how much pressure Muschamp is under right now to allow Treon a legitimate shot to win the job.

We're also in agreement on this. I don't want to sound like a parrot but: The team likes Treon more, or just feel that Driskel isn't a leader and it's crucial.

Muschamp has a really hard decision to make (for him), but any strategist would say it's facile. Let him start. Give people what they want -- if he falls hard, he can come back and say: "Now do you see why I didn't play him?", and blame external pressures.

Really though Driskel is a terrible leader who has consistently folded under pressure and failed to make big plays throughout his career.

How quickly we forget the Kentucky game. If only people would give him proportional credit for when he succeeds as when he fails we could possibly make some progress in this conversation so we could have some objectivity.

The team responds differently when Treon is on the field, what those reasons are for are up for debate (although it's already been lucidly talked about here regarding the team feeling salty over Tyler Murphy).

Say what you'd like, but the team has certainly not been playing as hard as they could be for Driskel -- and there have been adequate reasons for why this could be.

You can't have upwards of 5 drops in one game and look like a world beater.

Welp, Auburn gonna get a new quarterback and NC.
