Brandon LaFell, if he were not on another team and on IR would easily be our best WR right now, by miles and miles. I really have no idea why the team and LaFell decided to part ways, he sure would have been a welcome target all year long.

All of that said, you do have a point. Driskel is not as good as Andy Dalton, but he's what we have.

I think you get what I was saying. Sure, Dalton has rarely had receivers THIS bad (save for the end of 2014), but he's dealt with terrible pass blocking for 4 years out of 8. He's never had a run game this good, save for this year and 2014. He's always had poor coaching that is stuck in a 1980's mindset offensively. 

And fwiw, Brandon LaFell is not a good WR. He has 12 catches for 135 yards this year, playing for a WR needy Raiders team.
