No.

Like you said. Driskel is the starter.

You dont want your starter looking over his shoulder going into the FSU game.

Driskel has been the QB and brought us to 8-1.

Besides one horrible game vs UGA he had been what we needed.

I think that would create controversy.

I don't think it's a bad idea to get him some game reps though. He's a good second stringer to have on hand. He could potentially start on a number of teams, including this one. But Driskel won the job in the eyes of the coaches, and has led us to a 8-1 record. I think it would be a terrible idea for the team to switch things up this late in the year. Driskel is definitely a work in progress, but come next year, he will be a seasoned vet with a brutal stretch of SEC starts under his belt. And you never know how the rest of this year will turn out.

I think Tyler Murphy should get some reps with the first team O

How anyone can suggest Brissett should play at all or get a look with an OL that cannot pass block is beyond me...JD is suoer mobile and still taking a beating, Brissett would get killed

I think we should give JB reps even if we are 100% confident in Driskel. Our backup needs some reps too in case Driskel goes down.

Yes. Second String reps at the end of the game if we are ahead by multiple scores.

I feel like our fans have forgotten hoe a second string QB should be used.

Brisset is a pocket passer...

Driskel is our starting QB and will be it for the remainder of the season barring injury

Today was bad qb play, not just a questionable line. 5 batted balls is on the qb. He was way off a lot today and made similar decisions as UGA. He keeps regressing and we will lose vs FSU, no doubt. Hope he gets it together.

Like I said last week, Driskell is horrible. Can't read defenses and holds the ball too long. They receivers are open. They are open. You have to be at the game to see it. Driskell has not won anything. The defense are why we are winning these games. Offense has done nothing. You guys act like Driskell is better than Brissett. That is not the case. He is just more mobile and the coaches think he gives us a better chance to win. It aint even close to who is the more polished passer. This is an discussion that will go on every week. Don't worry, Brissett will be gone after this season.

Driskell is the guy. He also needs as many snaps as possible.

nothing i did say if we look terrible next week tho lol dont we play some scrub team so if that happens

people will be calling for jacoby i dont see that happening tho i dont think theres a big difference in either passing wise jeff has the speed i think jacoby has more awareness in the pocket tho

Attended the game today, and here are some QB observations:

-The QB play, as you all saw, was spotty at best. As I looked back at previous games I realized it just hasn't been that good period. Hot and cold is a nice way of putting it. The OL could do better. The WRs get open more than I thought, but they don't know how to extend routes well. So the bad plays aren't all on the QB. But the fact is, UF is getting good plays off and off at best from that position. Driskel still lacks a great awareness of when the rush is coming. Still has to get much better at that. From my view, it didn't look as though he sees the whole field well quite honestly. Also, there were several times when he simply threw to the wrong man. Perfect example -- at one point in either the 2nd or 3rd quarter, the pocket collapsed, so he ran straight ahead and threw to a well-covered receiver for a 5 yard gain. Unfortunately for UF it was 3rd and 10. Gave the play not chance whatsoever to achieve its purpose. I don't believe you all have seen a great improvement from him during the course of the season. Doesn't get sacked as much. That's plus. But is he reading defenses better? Does he go through progressions better? Doesn't look like it. The coaches would say I'm full of it. They have to say that. But my eyes and your eyes are probably seeing the same thing. Now, that said, he's the guy. Has to be. Huge upside if/when things really start to click. The real question is this: What kind of progression from Jeff will there from now to 2013? He has a long way to go. That's the harsh truth. Being able to make plays with your feet now and then is nice. But can he be a consistent threat in the passing game? Can he be a guy that will be able to attack a defense? We don't know yet. We just don't. You may says, 'well, he's just a soph.' And that's true. But what's also true is that he hasn't done a whole lot in the passing game at this point.

My gut tells me UF's OL will be MUCH better next year. And I also believe the WRs will be better as well. I think that's when we'll truly see what kind of QB this guy is. Tough kid. Great runner. Great arm. Time will tell if he becomes a great QB.
