49ers Pick Up Driskel
- Thread starter TNole902
- Start date
I'm happy for him. One of many players that didn't receive good coaching while at UF under Muschamp. He never complained and he's a good kid.
Jacoby Brissett got drafted in the 3rd round.
Jacoby Brissett got drafted in the 3rd round.
His transfer to La Tech was a very smart move on his part. The point was firmly proven long ago on this board that Driskell had skills. It will not surprise any of us if he goes on the have NFL success...and sadgator sincerely hopes he does.
LOL. Physically, Driskel is the most talented QB in the country. He dominated all the physical drills at the combine and yet he was a late 6th round pick and iirc the second to last QB taken. So what does that tell you? After some of you spent all season telling us how his season at LA Tech was proof he was great all along. Being a late 6th round pick proves he's got skills? LMFAO. Apparently NFL teams don't agree. Most of those guys don't even make the team. Meanwhile Brisett went in the 3rd. You Driskilites are weird people, let it go.
If we're lucky, we'll get a Driskel thread update every time he sips some Gatorade in training camp.
But not good enough to beat out Treon Harris who FSU then laid the wood to (twice).
I remember seeing him on the sidelines at the 2014 beating. Was he not on the team then? He didn't play a down. I believe Treon beat him out after the Missouri debacle?

I will graciously accept your apology.
I am sorry. Sorry you are such a dumbass.
In 2013, Skyler Morningwig was the starter in the FSU game. Harris did not play a down in 2013. Mainly because he was not yet on the team.
Lmao, Driskel laid the wood to FSU as much as Maguire laid the wood to UF this year.
Not at all!
even a driskel thread is instantly about fsu fans having to defend getting rocked by him
This is off the top of my head so I may not get the exact amount right. I think Driskel threw for 140 yards in that game.
You consider that good?
He got drafted didn't he? That's pretty good. How many people thought he would ever even get drafted?
Many people on this own board you included said that no way would he even get drafted.
He's going to get an opportunity to play in the NFL. That's a pretty good opportunity I would say.
Lol. You are a bit mixed up. Read my post again and the link. Driskel was benched in 2014 in favor of Treon who we have since twice laid wood to. Do I know Gator history better than a Gator? ROFL
I forgive you my son.
Another thread where the nolies need daddy's approval. Damn you guys are pathetic.
If you are looking for defense of driskel, you knocked on the wrong mans door.
The Seminoles in this thread seem WAY too fixated on "wood."
Yea...no. Go look it up. In all the threads where you guys kept blowing him I said on talent alone he would be drafted late because dumb GM's always think they can fix a guy with raw talent. And that's exactly what happened. Feel free to revisit those threads. You all were convinced he would be a high pick, especially after he blew up the combine.
Well, maybe we'll find out. What I like about the pick, is it could put Driskel in exactly the kind of offense that his supporters around here wanted to see him in. It probably will be tough for him to make the team though. Kaepernick's not going anywhere. He makes too much money. And Gabbert actually played pretty well in the second half of 2015. He's a good enough athlete to run that system. I don't think Kelly kept 3 quarterbacks at Philly. Maybe Driskel ends up on the practice squad though, which would be a pretty good outcome for him, given how god-awful he looked for UF.
Who knows whether he will make it?!? But at least he was smart enough to put himself in a position to give himself a real chance...something he never had under Mustard...so good for him.
That's true. If he can't make the team there he likely won't make it anywhere else, couldn't ask for a better team from that standpoint. He probably won't make the team though unless they trade Kaepernick. But somebody that big and fast you draft late if for no other reason to have the athleticism.
Yep. Their losses to Florida seem to hurt them far more than their wins seem to bolster them
He has the physical skills to make any team. Just like Doug Johnson made the Falcons team and even started a few games for them. But like Johnson, I think the mental issues Driskel had in college will follow him to the pros.
If not, it is another thing we can blame on Muschamp.
Not for this Nole. I forget about the losses but I cherish, honor and revere the wins. They sustain my life force. May it always be so.
6 of 7 this year...the best FSU run in the series. No end in sight as the talent gap continues to widen. We are not that familiar with the losses anymore. The way things are going with recruiting, it would surprise few outside of Gainesville, to see that number go to 9 of 10. How's that for wins bolstering us?
More than one Nole has told me that he/she like it more when Florida loses, no matter against who, than when FSU wins. Again, no matter against who.
We are your everything.
I cannot go along fully with that. While it was truly wonderful when we won our latest championship to end the year while UF had a sports banquet to end their year and lost to a FCS team, the championship was the better event and memory.
I would say that when we win it is the entree with champagne and when UF loses it is the delicious dessert. Not enough to fill you up but definitely has you wanting more.
