If you evaluate a qb the right way you would see that. He has times where hes alright but more often then not hes not. It has little to do with who mccaron is or who driskel is but to try someone else. 

Once again mccaron isnt that good,but he was a game manager. And won because of it. In his game hes not a quick short hard passer like dalton is. That's daltons only strength and why the offense slowed down when McCarron took over. They called plays where he had to scan the field. And he did that better then dalton. McCarron is now gone,so big deal it doesnt matter but I dont hate the guy,he didnt even get a full season here to really get tired of his play. Driskel was the only backup on the roster to look at. And if you look at his history he had a chance to start for a top school. But I forget what happened and he went to a lesser school. His ability to run was intriguing. And he did not get no respect from the refs because his name is driskel. And he even tied some games without green and eifert. I was still done with what I seen out of him at the end. But the guy will not get anymore opportunity because he didnt look great and a very low draft pick. That's the way it is with low draft picks. They dont get much opportunity.  I do agree with you about finley. But you need to put your hate aside for people wanting to try different QBs. Because half the fanbase is tired of watching daltons game. .

We'll agree to disagree.... I've watched Dalton since TCU. He was better than he got credit for. His trajectory from 2011 to 2016 was always moving up. That's progress. From then on, it's been moving down. When you evaluate the big picture, it's easy to see what happened. That's when Zeitler left. The next season it was Whitworth. Andre Smith had declined, and he was gone. Their replacements were not just bad,  they were awful. Dalton is not good enough to play behind a poor line. That's pretty much it.

I don't hate anyone, but I sometimes scratch my head and wonder what people are thinking.

As for Finley, I've seen a good bit of him in the ACC, being a big FSU fan....and following the conference. He was not carried by a bunch of future NFLers. He made things happen. That's why I have hope it will translate at this level to at least adequate play. Dalton owns, or did, a few records at TCU and beat a heavily favored Wisconsin team in the Rose Bowl. He wasn't surrounded by NFL talent either. There was hope, and for a while, he did well here, minus the postseason gaffes.

As for Driskel, he was benched at UF if I remember correctly after tossing a good deal of INTs and left to LaTech or wherever it was.
