He's been "learning" for going on 6 fkn years now and still looks as lost as he did as a true freshman.
Driskel is in for Niners
- Thread starter TN G8tr
- Start date
I read a few minutes ago the 49ers have signed Christian Ponder to a 1 year deal also. Talk about scraping the barrel.

Driskel may get a courtesy 1 year on the roster but I will be really surprised if he is around after that. He just doesnt understand the position upstairs.
No one loves them some Drisky like Dougie.
I think Driskell has a great future.... on a fishing show. He'd be great. Seriously, he's a nice kid and is pretty well known in the south already. All the fans from opposing school have great memories of him. Well, except Tinerc, but they can't afford those premium channel packages anyway.

The quarterback closing out the game is more often than not somebody that will inspire irrational excitement in the fans. Jeff Driskel is that guy this year, so might as well have a Driskel update. He was great scrambling, rushing for 61 yards. The Texans brought a lot of pressure, and Driskel did a good job diagnosing it and scrambling. At the same time, his passing performance was not particularly good. He was mainly throwing short, and even then couldn’t get much done. He finished the game 4-of-12 for 20 hards. But the running was at least entertaining.

Fwiw I believe they just signed Ponder off the Home Depot part time shift. So they either are gonna cut JD or stash him on the practice squad.

Did that coach carry 2 or 3 active QBs on the roster last season in Philly? I forgot when watching the Tebow stuff play out. If he only carries 2 no way in hell does Driskel get signed for anything but the practice squad. I think that 3rd QB that got hobbled in the preseason game knows the system already also so that doesn't help Driskel making the game day roster either unless the injury is bad.
He carried 3 last year in Philly.
^This more than anything, he will be on the roster for at least this year, mostly likely as a roster (non dress) or practice squad guy. Just on the athletic talent alone.

The Will Muschamp/Jeff Driskel way....

Seems like a HC who runs his QB, i.e. puts his QB at risk against head hunting NFL linebackers, would almost HAVE to carry a 3rd QB.

Well he did catch a break - Thad Lewis who already knows the system tore his ACL and is out for the season so he just has to beat Ponder out for the 3rd spot and Ponder hasn't played in the system before.
