Driskel should be starter next year
#56
I saw just as much bad from Driskel as I saw good on Sunday.

He missed wide open targets, threw into triple coverage multiple times, took multiple unnecessary sacks, he seemed indecisive and was easy to read by the defense (the announcers commented on how the defense was reading his eyes several times during the game). Despite his athleticism he didn't appear to be slippery in the pocket and actually looked like an Eli Manning Level statue on a few of those sacks.

He has a gun for an arm and, when accurate, he made some very pretty throws. He's also pretty athletic (although not great at the read option for some reason) and can run for first downs and touchdowns on occasion.

We've not yet seen him throw it deep. Granted, we never saw Andy throw it deep this year either, which continues to vex me...

All said, he seems like a downgrade to Andy in virtually every way except maybe his athleticism to run (but not evade in the pocket).

I see no real reason to make him the starter next season.

If Andy is healthy, he's the guy.
