2180989, Driskel is so far away from being a NFL quarterback

he shouldn't even be listed right now.

here's an example: 3rd and long against LSU, Florida is in an empty shotgun set. horrible down for the Gators, but they play it safe and call for receiver screens on both sides. LSU shows an overload pre-snap, and run a simple 4-on-3 blitz.

so with a free man coming, all Driskel has to do is make the easy throw to either screen (LSU corners are playing off). Driskel drops back, sees Minter coming unblocked, looks to his right and ignores the wide open receiver, looks to the left and ignores the *other* wide open receiver, then gets sacked.

everybody has bad reads, bad throws, bad decisions, but plays like that make me question whether Driskel has ever read a playbook longer than five pages. Troy Aikman?
