Driskel ranked 7th out of SEC QBs

There is no clear-cut, elite QB in the SEC this year. Driskel can distance himself from the pack in the first three games by the Gators not holding back against Idaho, Eastern Michigan, and Kentucky. Unlike years past, the Gators cannot afford to hold anything back in the hopes of magically turning it on during the heart of the schedule. Driskel needs to gamble a bit in the first couple games, make some mistakes there, and then learn from them in time to upset Alabama. Imagine the emotional high the Gators can ride through September and October if they can beat Bama in Tuscaloosa, or, at the very least, keep it interesting.

"No clear-cut, elite QB..." None yet, anyway. No way to fairly or accurately rate a healthy Driskel in a Roper-coached and designed offense, and almost zero post-injury data either. And I even more strongly agree with your caveat regarding any kind of play-it-safe, phase-it-in "measured" approach that might have once characterized Muschamp's general views on implementing it...This type of offense wasn't even in his plans in the first place: Neither the time nor the place for half-measures; indeed, he hasn't the time nor the room to find out what "just enough success" is, or how it might be achieved. Let's not kid ourselves: It's all out, balls-to-the-wall from the start, for every reason you can name or imagine. Worry about "subtlety" later. Plenty of opportunities for wrinkles and modifications once you show everyone, not just opponents but (maybe even more importantly at the start) the players themselves--and oh, by-the-way, the fans--that it can work, that we can win and win BIG, on the field, from Day 1.
