The lack of football knowledge in this thread is comical.
Driskel is a 6'4/230 pound freak athlete. He does things on the football field that Dalton simply can't. The play where he avoided the sack and scored the non-TD is a play that Dalton gets sacked on 100 out of 100 times. The kid has posted an 89.8 QB rating in the first ever regular season action in his career. By the way, Dalton's career QB rating is 88.8. Driskel has thrown for 3 TD's and run for 2 more in 2.5 games in an offense not designed for him and with a WR group of Boyd and a bunch of nobodies. Has he been outstanding? No. Is he a young QB that could develop into something good given his physical attributes? Absolutely.
Dalton posted less than a 65 QB rating 3 times this year against bad defenses (Carolona, KC, NO), and posted a 70.4 rating in a half against a terrible Browns defense. The fact that some of you still think he can lead this team to anything other than absolute mediocrity is mind boggling.
This team is going nowhere. They are not going to win next year. The roster is comprised of aging players whose production is slipping and young players who either need time to develop or that have been bad draft picks. I would draft a QB, move on from Dalton, and see what you have in Driskel with an offense designed to fit him. At this point what do you have to lose? Another season of not making the playoffs?
