You must have not watched Brisset's on the field performance.

Driskel was solid for the most part and the correct choice imo. won 11 games = enough said

He didn't turn the ball over which was the biggest thing, IMO.

U are wrong. I thought the same thing at the start of the season.

UF's Oline could not pass block to save their QB life. Brissett would have been a sitting duck. Driskel could at least make a play with his feet.

This is what I saw. Granted I don't know all the dynamics of your situation, but IMO Brissett progressed through his reads and threw much better WHEN given the time. I understand Muschamp going with Driskel because of needing his running ability.

I was Brissett fan, but I don't think he was that much better than Driskel. Brissett could not hit a deep ball to save his life even when he had time. Even if Brissett could hit a deep ball and becomes the next Brady at NC St, he would not have time with our Oline. Muschamp was right to pick Driskel IMO.

Matt Elam should talk less, in general. Just my opinion.

I fear Elam might be right... But he needs to shut his pie-hole.

Jacoby is a better traditional QB. Driskel is more of a threat overall to defenses. UF has a fine track record of sticking with the wrong QB. Berlin, Cam "Laptop" Newton, and now... I just hope I'm wrong.

This is hilarious, I don't like to play the woulda, coulda, shoulda game, but If Brissett had the starting job with our O-line and receivers last year we loose at least 2 more games.


I agree. Driskel didn't make too many costly turnovers and occasionally made a good pass or two. Brissett would throw it as hard and as far as he could... kid was reckless in the pocket (and it wasn't often he even got a 'pocket')
