Barkley has played against starters in his career, yet never showed any promise he could run an offense to be successful.
Driskell has never played against a starting defense in preseason that I know of, let alone in a regular season game. It's on thing to put up nice numbers against scrubs that will most likely be cut in a vanilla defense, it's another against a defense that has prepared for him while running their full playbook. Not to mention the skill and speed of a starting defense is a big notch up over third & fourth stringers.
Maybe Driskell can be serviceable filling in for Andy for a game or two, maybe even for a lengthy time. I have no idea. There is very little to go on for me to think he can. Only way to know is to see him get playing time with the ones.
It is the only way to know but AJM played decent in regular season games and last year sucked against scrubs
way more than Driskel did. Would like to see how Driskel plays against starters for sure. I am not scared having
him out there against 1's unless he gets hurt again, he seems to be our only chance if Dalton goes down.
But lets be honest, if Dalton goes down there isn't much of a chance no matter who we got backing him up.
Bridgewater could be here and i would still be on my toes, he hasn't been that great in the NFL.

Hope so, don't understand how he is always the 3rd string QB when he clearly looks better than the 2nd.
If we see him move up to the 2nd spot we will have one more sign things have changed around here for the better.
