Seems we weren't the only ones intrigued by Driskel's play in pre season game 1.

Its what I predicted to happen.... He gets the 1st string OL for at least a series or 2 after Dalton and some of the WRs leave the field.

First game just strengthened my confusion as to why Barkley was ever brought in. I'm not saying Driskel is an elite backup, but I do know that Barkley was proven to be total poop prior to joining the Bengals.

Driskel and Barkley both suck, but Driskel at least has some spunk. He's more entertaining to watch, for whatever that's worth.

I'm not totally convinced Driskel does suck. I want to see him with the ones and see what he can actually do. We may all be shocked.

This.  He has made some magic happen in preseason.....be interesting to see him with the ones and against the opponent's ones.  At the very least, I think he's a decent option at backup.

I'm ready to declare this a bonerfide QB controversy!

You’re that excited about it? [emoji848]

You can't win Superbowls with decent QBs.
We can't even win playoff games with elite players.

I'm sending this thread right to the hard hitting bastion of truth about the Bengals, ESPN.. You know they'd defend Andy to their dying days.  

Driskell looked better than AJM last year but hardly nobody would admit it.

But think giving him the stage is to see if they really need to bring in another back up or not.

Believe they realize Barkley is not the guy.

Liked Driskell before so, but "Freds thread" about him really highlighted how much of an athlete the kid really is. Did not even realize until reading.

Maybe we need a "Freds Threads" forum. It would be interesting to say the least.

Ah c'mon, the Eagles just did....

Well, we can certainly rely on one writer to sing the praises of anyone that team chooses to play in any circumstance.  Ladies and gentlemen we have a choice and it's Hobsons choice ..A tyanical owner who refuses to budge and up and coming family members who want to move on.....
Oh heck , just watch the movie and see if you see any similarities .. This one is the 1920's silent version ,but still pretty good..

 .....I'd like to get Bridgewater.....but that ain't happenin'.  Driskel seems better than Barkley, and everyone loved some AJM, but I think Driskel has more potential than he did.

Exactly,

I don't think anyone believes Driskel is the 2nd coming of Dan Marino but I believe he may become a decent back up ? And that's all you can hope for, somebody who can hold the fort down for a couple games if need be., and give you somewhat of a chance to win a game.

I'd love to have Bridgewater as a back up or Joe Montana while we're at it but that's not happening ! Backup's are backup's for a reason. I just don't have any faith Barkley is anything other than what he's shown thus far. Five teams or whatever have let him go in six seasons or something like that. I doubt he's all the sudden going to become good. Like the Leonardleap says it's kinda confusing why they brought him in to begin with ? Connection to Lazor I guess ?

Agree,

I'm not saying he's Nick Foles jr. but he just may do ? 

Barkley is crapola granola, Driskel is at least interesting, Woodside reminds me of a Pinto station wagon, Bridgewater ain't coming here unless we send a draft pick to NYC, AJ McCarron might be available eventually.


I want Driskel to start. When he throws a pick I'll convince myself people aren't saying BOOOOOOOO, they're saying Drisk-OOOOOOOOOOOOL!



Who would you rather have as your QB...Jeff Driskel or Steve Urkel?

Here's hoping Barkley is cut. I'm never for a man losing his job, but I just don't see it.

How cool would that be?  Every time he completed a pass, they could blast his trademark "tee hee hee, snort" over the public address.
