You saying Jim McMahon was chopped liver?

No, but he handed the ball to Walter Payton and had his mistakes erased by maybe the best defense of all time. He was nowhere near the passer Grossman was. A better leader, to be sure, and an iconic figure - but a game manager.

Agreed. Someone like Akili Smith or Ryan Leaf is a bust. Grossman threw for 10,000 NFL yards. A disappointment perhaps, not a bust.

Right. You want your 1st round QB to be a franchise-leading cornerstone for 10+ years. He wasn’t that, but I’d say his career is better than average even for 1st round picks. And for the Bears the bar is very, very low.

Also, fake news title.

Cowboys spoke with Dipshyt just to tell him how much he sucks and told him to get out.

As a backup, you could do worse. Some of the backups in the NFL I think would literally crap down their pants if they had to take a live snap. Driskel was not great, but I've seen far, far worse.

I have never understood this Driskel hate. Look who he had for coaches at UF!

He looked much better in his one year at LA Tech.

As a backup he is most worthy.

he is getting paid millions.

How many of us are doing that?

There are worse backups in the league than Driskel. I'd be surprised is he wasn't signed by someone. Then again, if you have to rely on your backup for any length of time your season is done.

The sad part about that, if you have seen the Cowboys backup qb's physically he would be the best... the problem is the rocks between his ears.

Not many of those backups like Kurt Warner, Tom Brady, etc.. walking through those doors...

29, which was 4th highest in his draft class... but take that with a grain of salt, Wentz was first at 40 and you see what happened to him.


I'm actually not surprised to see that Driskel is pretty smart. Dude has too much going on in his head. Intelligence isn't always an athlete's best friend IMO. I think it makes it harder to trust your instincts sometimes.

If there was a "freak the F** out" score he would be number 1 in his class. And that is where his problem lies.
