UL has a great QB. UF doesn't.

That is the difference.
Why can't UF get a better QB than Driskel? I don't know whether to blame Driskel, or the OC, but Driskel just looks awful, and has for a long time.

I'm not going to lie. It's slightly depressing seeing the difference between Bridgewater and Driskel. Weis apparently ignored Driskel and Brissett their freshman years to best fix Brantley. We're seeing that year difference in development...Driskel's got tools, but he still can't make full field reads nor does he anticipate throws that well.

I don't recall Driskell being a passer in high school. He was exactly what he is now, best I recall.
As if it were unimaginable, Driskell is a worse passer than Tebow.....let that sink in.

Driskel was the number one dual threat QB in the nation and showed out in every camp including the Elite 11. At his HS, he was asked to do everything bc they had no one else. He's not horrible, he under-developed.
TB, on the other hand, is the real deal.

What about UF is appealing to a QB?

Maybe after Tennessee bc he made plays in both that game and A&M to win. But he was horrible against LSU. We beat them with power run game.

It might not have been right after LSU, but it was early in the season.
Florida should still be alright though. Obviously Teddy is balling on your team tonight, but I expect UF to still have awesome defenses in the future. UF is always loaded with talent.

Coaches have to sell the new pro offense.
Hard to get a kid after an offensive transition when they see crap like this.

Driskel looks terrible, no way I'd go to UF if I'm a top QB. There are so many better options out there.

It is absolutely shocking that the University of Florida can't field a QB that is worth a damn.. Driskell is the best they can put on the field? Come on. Absolutely shocking this is the best they can get at the QB position.
