Normally live game reps help with reading defenses and decision making, but accuracy you either have or you don't. It is pretty commonly held that if you come into the league inaccurate you won't make huge strides to fix it unless it's a slight mechanics issue. That was never the case with Driskel it has been that he simply doesn't have the accuracy. Everyone wants Tom Brady, but the reality is the number of even average QB's in the league after the 3rd or 4th round is minimal because normally that is where a lot of the guys with accuracy issues end up....like Driskel. 

You aren't going to take a year and build an offense around a 3rd year player who was a 6th round pick because he can run a little. Guys like him really are a dime a dozen and there are more of them in this class this year. Shea Patterson out of Michigan is basically Jeff Driskel if he comes out in the draft this year. Being enamored with running QB's is nothing new but time has shown they simply don't last when they run as a read versus out of need, so the idea we tailor some sort of offense that has him running is a short sighted approach to the teams future. 

So again, "all of us in the back" hear you we just don't think he is anymore than a back up. I'd send a 4th out to San Fran for Mullens, their third string QB, who has played far better before I'd start Driskel next season.

Exactly ! I don't know what guys don't get about this ? The chances Driskel just suddenly morphs into an accurate QB at the NFL level are like 3%.
