Thursday open thread: Is Jeff Driskel the Lions’ solution at backup quarterback?

I’ve got to admit, I’ve been impressed with Jeff Driskel. I wasn’t expecting much, but he’s done more than enough to keep the Lions competitive in the past two games without Matthew Stafford.

Let’s take a look at what Driskel has done the past two weeks:

  • 58.3 completion percentage
  • 478 passing yards
  • 3 touchdowns
  • 1 interception
  • 86.5 quarterback rating

That’s not bad at all for a guy who has been on the roster since the middle of September.
