Jeff Driskel

[Triple B]

 

 

 

 

 

 

He's no Mike White, but who is?

you're right. he was rated 11 spots lower

why anybody would want the #120th rated passer on our roster to muddle the situation even further is beyond me

I'll go on a limb and say that Alabama and LSU are better than Tulsa and Tulane

 

We didn't even play Tulane. You new here?

 

 

Nowhere near the point of what he was saying. Playing in the SEC vs the AAC is not even close. Driskel could actually be a pretty good QB in a conference like the AAC or Conference USA. He's been awful thus far, but he's going to the minor leagues now.

 

It ABSOLUTELY is his point.  The response was to QB ratings, which are based on WHO HE PLAYED.  Driskel actually DID play LSU & Bama. White didn't play Tulane.  If the point was the level of competition, maybe...but the reality of it is, Driskel stunk it up, and had ALL the chances.  He'll get to abuse CUSA Ds in 2015, and pad his stats. Wonder where he'll rank in 2015 v our best.

 

 

It may have been Bull94's point, but I do not think it was Joe's. Either way it's not important. If anything Joe's "mistake" of saying Tulane (if it was a mistake) makes it look worse. He could've said Tulsa and SMU instead. 

 

Comparing Driskel's QB rating in the SEC to Mike White in the AAC is hogwash. 

 

Why?

[Joe]

Forgive me for the Tulane point, I was just pointing out the differences between the competition.

Ultimately, Driskel's issues always came against the power programs, he looked fine against the bad teams.

I don't know if he'd be better here or not. I don't think he'd be a superstar or anything, but with what we have going into 2015, we're in a lot of trouble. I wouldn't have had an issue grabbing him.

I get you, Joe...and I was just bustin' your chops, but it doesn't always translate on line.

 

I've got mixed feelings.  I don't like the 1 & Done, as it basically shelves your current QBs for a year.  Then again, I see examples (like Wilson at Wiscy) that prove to be excellent moves.  That Wiscy has terrible QBs now may be unrelated to that...but man, they are bad.

Why?

 

Years ago, maybe true, but I agree.  I know it's just a one game example, but ECU's Carden threw for 250 v USF and 427 v UF's very good SEC D.

 

SEC is no longer the 17-14 league, and it's not unusual to see SEC D's give up a ton of yards.

Plus, he was surrounded by SEC players helping him against the SEC D's and still didn't get it done ...

That was pretty much my thoughts on the matter, too. Even if Driskel is a long shot, his potential is a lot better than our reality.

Oh well, back to hoping for a miracle from some other direction...sigh.

You basically watered down your own point by saying ^.

 

Phillip Rivers threw for 284 yards and 3 TDs against Seattle this year, Aaron Rodgers threw for 189 yards and 1 TD against them. Does that make Phillip Rivers better than Aaron Rodgers? No. Does that make them comparable? No. Cherry Picking 1 game is silly even when it is apples to apples like my example.

 

Any way you slice it playing a season against an SEC defense is night and day different than playing a season of AAC defenses. So Carden had a good game against an SEC defense.. cool. You think he'd put up the same numbers he did this year playing in the SEC all year? Ha..

If you really don't see the difference between playing a season against SEC competition and the AAC then I can't help you buddy.

Point is he's playing surrounded by SEC players which levels out the playing field, bringing the focus back on HIS qb skills. If that concept escapes you then I can't help ...
