I have to agree. Better line with better receivers will be huge. The biggest improvement will be the game slowing down for him.

I'm sorry did I miss something??? Where did all this 'Give up on Jeff' stuff come from? 11-2 for the 2012 season and that was only with Reed receiving. He's built like Tebow and can run out of trouble.

[geauxgator1]

I don't think anyone has given up on him except for maybe a few malcontents.
It was his first year for crying out loud as a starter. His potential is really limitless if he can continue to learn. He may have taken a step back in the Sugar Bowl, but that happens with a young Qb's learning the position.

we should be so fortunate to have a 19 year old first year starter who has 1st round NFL physical tools helping us to a 11-2 record against a schedule that included what 5 top 10 teams.

c'mon

perspective people and then we wonder why we lose a coach like Urban Meyer to stress. some of you are unreal in your expectations.


this is JDs most important growth year. Jeff made huge strides from freshman to sophomore season. this is the year he has to take himself from a credible SEC starting QB (which he already is) to an elite nationally recognized top talent.

yes, he has a ton of room to grow. but THAT is where the excitement lies. The physical tools and the talent is obvious. Where can he go from here?

we could all be in for a real treat next year!

Jeff driskels lack of skill goes beyond the louisville game my friend

Football Starts in the trenches,ask ND,OSU,LSU, when they played Bama, we should be much better also the WRs will have a large improvment ,with the Joker teaching them,how to get open and coming back to there QB when he is in trouble, I thnk most important is LT, we had a big hole there last year,Go Gators,if we are not in the top 30 in offense by the 4th game this year something is wrong.

[Swampmaster]

Alabama's QB, Mccarron is going for his third straight national title in 2013. He won his first as a sophomore and made huge plays in the title game against lsu and again last year. Big difference with alabama--maybe the best Oline in college football in 10 years, NFL first round RBs every year and very good wide receivers.

[AFCyberGator]

I would not give up on JD, but I would expect him to grow, improve upon the all-too-mentioned habits, and take advantage of the new offense (now featuring athletic WRs and an OL not at all recruited for the Meyer offense).

Gonna be a long off-season.
