The fact Driskel noticed the way Smith adjusts plays, makes the most of run opportunities and the rest of the things cited in the article, tells me he is paying attention to the details that make a good QB. Smart kid.

with Driskel and Blaine, we have two real Americans. And Chip does wonders with them.

Don't forget that he also watches Rodgers so hopefully that takes the "safe" s**tty Smith out of his game.

It was like thy Lord created Blaine, then made a copy and called the copy Driskel

Blaine: 6'4", 235lbs, hand size: 10", 40yds: 4.61 sec.
Driskel: 6'4", 234lbs, hand size: 9 3/4", 40yds: 4.56 sec.
We are talking about QBs though.

I think they'll RG3 Kap and make Driskel the primary backup to Blaine, when all is said and done. No inside info, just my gut.

Funny, Smith actually wants to reach the level Driskel is at

If by Smith, you mean Akili Smith, I guess you are correct.

Do you not remember the Vernon Post (The Catch III) and Alex's run.

He had 2 great years under Harbaugh. He's done well at KC.
took him ten years to do 3 plays, wow.

playing peewee football is KC is pretty amazing

At this point, Alex would be a nice backup for Blaine, with Driskel waiting and learning.

Alex a backup to Blaine? Lol! Yea ok...
What has Blaine accomplished ahead of smith?
And yet we all know what you get with smith.
You get dink and dunk and hoping the defense bails you out.

I know that's Blaines nickname but what does that even mean?

Is that signing bonus in kine with 6th round picks? Or is it a sign that they think he sticks on the 53?

Never occurred to me, but that would be an interesting development.

It's part of the rookie scale, each pick gets a designated amount that they can get from the team, usually teams give them the max.
