I have seen nothing from the guy in any of his starts that lead me to believe he'd make a serviceable stop-gag in the event that Dalton is out for an extended period of time. I don't know where this fascination is coming from with him. I really don't.
The guy scored two touchdowns in garbage time against a team that basically had the win in the bag, and who had not game-planned for him at all. Big whoop. How about the two near picks he threw? How about the fact that a lot of his completions came from receivers making acrobatic plays?
If Dalton is out for the next few weeks, let's see just how well Driskel does when teams spend an entire week game-planning for him. Methinks we're not going to be thrilled with the result.
Can't blame anyone for wanting something different than Dalton. This offense has been bottom third for the past 2 1/2 years. We aren't going to the playoffs this year, and we won't learn anything with Dalton in there. If Driskal fails, it'll be no worse than continually seeing Dalton in there do nothing special.
