Driskel should be starter next year
In fact, let's go here in respect to Passer rating

2011 - Dalton 80.4, NFL Average 84.3
2012 - Dalton 87.4, NFL Average 85.6
2013 - Dalton 88.8, NFL Average 86.0
2014 - Dalton 83.5, NFL Average 88.9
2015 - Dalton 106.2, NFL Average 90.2
2016 - Dalton 91.8, NFL Average 89.3
2017 - Dalton 86.6, NFL Average 89.8
2018 - Dalton 89.6, NFL Average 93.8

4 years above average. 4 years below average. About as average as one can get.

In 2.5 games Driskel's rating is 89.8, .2 better than Dalton this year, though he has played no games with AJ Green.
Driskel also brings better escapability and adds a running threat which passer rating doesn't factor in to the rating number.

But this kid is garbage as so many want to say? He threw for less than 200 yards blah blah blah. News flash, your beloved Dalton threw for less than 200 yards 9 times as a rookie in 2011. This kid has played 2.5 games. He has the size, arm strength, and athleticism to give defenses problems. Measurables aren't everything, but they certainly do matter.

If after 8 years of Dalton you don't know what you are going to get from him, then I don't know what to tell you. You're going to get AVERAGE, and I am sick of that around here. This team is going to have to take a step back to go forward. Let Driskel play next year and see if you can develop him. He has the tools.
