I would like to see what our new offense looks like with a player who is not afraid to run it. Harris looked so much more comfortable on the field than Driskel, although I am sure he had butterflies out the you know what. He supplied the evidence today that he should be the starting quarterback. Whoever held the gun to Muschamps head should be given a medal.
Dear NV,Bayern Gator here still without proper punctuation, perhaps Driskel could be a "wildcat" QB, on run situtations, or hold on punts, and we still get some use out of him, or has he seen the field for the last time like Terry Dean?

Dear Bayer Gator. Not sure why you Avatar name is "William Donald Garrett" yet you sign off Bayer Gator. In addition, I know I've already asked you to work on punctuation however that seems to be a glitch in whatever system you use for translation. What do you use, a PC? a Mac? we can fix this together.
As far as Driskel being a wildcat QB,.. not going to happen. He just can't read it that quickly. He should be move to the bench of TE.

Jeff Driskel should not see another meaningful snap for Florida. He's awful, and he is not going to get better. The best thing for him, and Florida, is for him to transfer to another school where he might be able to pick up the pieces of his shattered career as a quarterback. The team and fans are not behind him. The only one who is is Muschamp. He needs to look back at his own predictions for Driskel, like the one he made before this game that Driskel would make everyone proud he is their quarterback. Jeff Driskel is a cancer on he team, he needs to be excised. There is no chance the NFL wants him, but he needs to be somewhere else than Florida in 2015. It's probably too late now, but he needs to see if he has a future in baseball, because he doesn't have one in football. Do us all a favor Jeff. If you love UF and your coach and teammates, just leave!

Frankly, I'm surprised that the chump had the smarts and/or the juevos to make the change. However, he was staring at the abyss and made the switch. My son and I were watching the game together and he was opining during the game that it seemed the chump was actually wanting to get fired. I wasn't sure myself but his deliriously happy interview post game showed that he actually wants to continue on here. However, his continuing to make excuses for JD also indicates that the lesson has not been firmly grasped.Gatoravatara;n69488 said:

Terry Dean never saw the field again because he made the mistake of criticizing SOS publicly. He never played another down, even in mop up duty. The chump has already said that he will play 2 QBs if he has to which indicates that he has still not gotten the picture. And I don't think he is referring to holding for extra points or field goals.William Donald Garrett;n69544 said:

Dude, that's a bit harsh. JD hasn't lived up to his potential. He doesn't have the mojo. But a cancer, he is not. He's been a good kid, stayed out of trouble, went to class and graduated. He tried his best. Save the harsh talk for some punk who shows no appreciation for the opportunity. He's not a good QB. But he's a good Gator.

It's not too harsh to call Jeff Driskel a cancer on the team. I'm not saying that he is reason for a divided team. I seriously doubt there is a clique of teammates that are sorry to see him benched. Normally that would be the case if your leader is removed for any reason. But Jeff Driskel has never been a leader on the team. Have you ever seen him being a leader in any fashion. Contrast him with the guy at the school out West, his teammates would run into a wall for him, while Driskel engenders nothing but sympathy. That's all his teammates feel for Driskel, but they are glad he's been finally benched, even if they don't say so publicly. When you remove a cancer, you have a chance to get better. That's what happened Saturday. The only problem is that the diagnostician, Will Muschamp, is no Dr. House. Even a blind man could see that Driskel needs to go. Just like he did with Brissett and Murphy, Muschamp needs to make it very plain to Driskel that he has no future as a quarterback at Florida. Maybe he can switch to tight end like Oklahpma's quarterback did. Driskel needs to be told bluntly. WE can see from his actions on the football field that he's very slow at processing information. If you just hint that Florida is choosing another path that doesn't include him, he probably will continue to think he's important to the success of Florida, and that would be cruel. Something akin to stealing candy from a baby. Don't be cruel, Will. You've fired coaches because they didn't get the job done, it's time to can Driskel.
