And Driskel did it with an offense not designed to use his abilities fully. He has better arm strength than Dalton. He's a better athlete than Dalton, AND he appears to be a smart decision maker while having very little playing time. I think the kid deserves a shot. We KNOW what Dalton is. Good enough at times with all pieces around him to win some games but not consistently good enough to do it, especially when he doesn't have his weapons around him. It's time to try a different direction.

Did you edit that qualifier in there after wolfkaosaun made his reply? 

I don't think Dalton has played a single game where he was (1) on the road, (2) playing a top tier team and was (3) without AJ and (4) without Eifert.

You used to boast about McCarron's passer rating as well. Where is he now?

We're using a limited offense and taking advantage of teams not having much tape on Driskel. Just like McCarron.

The limited "success" (the games haven't even been impressive) will be short lived and Driskel will most likely end up like Mac.

I guess it's okay to be wrong over and over again though. Maybe the next backup will work out.

Palmer struggled at it too.
