There was a story published recently wherr Raiders coaches suspected he was not studying film so they have him blank tapes to take home. The next day he showed up at practice and said he had studied blitz packages.The tapes had nothing on them. Russell was also dumber than a rock. 

Driskel is an intelligent kid. Listen to him talk. And by all accounts he works hard. He's the anti-Jamarcus Russell.

Nope...."we're" not.  No more than I was comparing him to AJM.  The point was, lots of physical specimens have flamed out, the worst being Jamarcus Russell, and QBs from college that have "it", have flamed out.

Right now, Dalton gives us our best shot at being competitive while looking for a future QB at the same time.  Unless they ink a FA QB that is better, that is.  He has a very team friendly contract that allows us to pursue improvement at other positions, and still be competitive while we look for a future QB.  I don't think Driskel is that future, nor do I think he's a starting caliber QB at this level.  Agree to disagree, I guess.

That being said, if they keep them both, then I wouldn't mind an open competition for the starter.  I may very well be wrong, but I think you'll find that 14 would be your starter, regardless of HC.
