Driskel

    Once he has a good game throwing again, people like this will be singing how great he his and how they knew he was going to break out.

    Yep, I watched the UT game last night and remembered what kind of potential we have. If he progresses this summer, and the new "toys" work out, we'll see a drastic change. We have a 6'5" 240 lb QB with a laser rocket arm, and 4.5 speed. We could be in a much worse position!! He also had like 3-4 comebacks this year, which means it was on him and the Offense more than just the D. He's a winner, and has elite talent, we just need to continue and mold him. Everybody can't be Johnny Manziel, and we certainly didn't have the weapons A&M had, either.

    Thank you...again it's just my opinion. I'm just stating that when I saw Burton/Reed & others blow him off that's a bad sign. I don't understand why people think I am hating on Driskel? Brissett was the main reason all of this occurred & I think a couple...couple players blew of JD bc he is goofy. I think this year we won't see any of those people blowing him off bc he won us 11 games.

    I keep telling you guys if you bash JD they will put your head on a platter. Keep on posting because your opinion is just as important than everyone else. Fight the power.

    What are you talking about? Post less, you're not a Gator if you can't even back our starting QB. Jacoby is gone and I'm glad he is, so we can move on!!

    Nah, man. Chill. They can post whatever they want as long as it's within the rules. Don't discourage people from posting bc they having a differing opinion. That's weak. And it's weak to call someone less of a Gator bc of it too. It wasn't too long ago when people were tryna get you to post less. You stayed but I'm sure you didn't appreciate that.

    Othello and Fly Jr are good. They can post all they want. They're grown and know what they're stepping into.

  • the downvotes for this topic are a bit excessive. as an avid JD supporter from the start of the QB competition, its hard to deny that a lot of the players were in favor of Jacoby. if you dont think that is the truth then look at Matt Elams tweets last night about Jacoby and NC State. the competition understandably created sides. does that mean Driskel cant get it done and lead the team after a 11 win season and hopefully a big off season this year? absolutely not.
    just win baby

    I get that man, but I NEVER bashed a player on our team like that. We need to support our QB, and move on. He even used the word "BASH", which tells me that is what he wanted to do. You're right on differing opinions though, as I'm the biggest homer of anybody. It just makes me mad to see people not back our leaders.

    You do realize that Jacoby was Matt's QB in High school, right? That's just blind favoritism, and to be so arrogant that he thinks he knows more than the HC, and the same OC that taught Kellen Moore, is laughable. JMO.

    i belong to this site. i understand both of them went to dwyer. there is a difference between supporting the leaders of our team and recognizing that JD needs work both on the field and leading this team for him to be as successful as we want him to be.

    Yep people get crazy with the downvotes. Don't agree with him but doesn't make it a bad post.

    Of course he does, and what QB after only one year as the starting guy, and also in the offense, wouldn't? Taking Matt Elam's word over our coaches though, is just stupid, IMO.

    Your wrong man I used the phrase "Not bashing him" bc if I didn't I knew people like you would say that I was bashing him. For the 10th time I love Driskel. Someone made a point that JB was Elams HS QB. IMO there was a rift in the locker room over Brissett & Driskel. My main point: it's not like Driskel was the clear cut favorite. Remember coming into the year we had a QB battle. Driskel won so I think some who wanted/liked JB were upset. Again it's annoying seeing people calling me a Driskel hater. A hater is people coming on here after the Louisville game crying that Driskel played horrible. It's a TEAM game. The ultimate team game. He played bad bc he didn't even have a second to throw. His future is bright. If I was bashing him like you say I would be saying how horrible he is. You guys just dont understand my logic I guess? This is an OPINION not a fact. My opinon is just as good as yours. Unless you were in the locker room. Driskel > Brissett/Brantley. Fair? Driskel will do big things once our OL learns to pass block.

    The backup QB at every program is the people's champ. I trust the staff but I'm sure an AA DB knows more than most about QB play. Just a bad time to put it out there imo but I'll always support Matt and every other Gator.

  • This thread has gotten ridiculous. We are all Gators fans here we can discuss this kind of stuff "in house". Now if a Nole, Dawg, Vol etc. said something about JD aww hell naw the gloves are coming off

    GatorTech

  • The OP is commenting on the fact that possibly there was a divide in the locker. He is on JD's side if any. He isn't bashing JD at all. It's silly to downvote him, just put out a reasoned response and others will see your point or not; don't bash the OP for making an observation.

  • I'm just confused with the "goofy" argument. "Goofy" QBs don't rush for 170+ yds in a football game, looking more athletic than any of our damn WRs in the process, especially at 6'4" 235.

    What the hell is "goofy?"

    His personality...if I was talking AB what your saying I would have said un-coordinated. He is very coordinated. Have you seen an interview of his? Probably not...goofy. Damn you can't even critique your QB now a days w/o someone saying you hate them. Guess Denver fans think Peyton is horrible. And I don't want to hear a Tebow remark leave him out of this. You can critique any player on the team. I have critiqued JD's awareness. Never have said he sucks & we should have put it JB. That's you guys putting words into my mouth. If Jacoby was better he wouldn't be in Raleigh right now. Truth
