The quarterback position for the Florida Gators was somewhat of a train wreck. Redshirt junior Jeff Driskel was supposed to be more than comfortable as the starter in Kurt Roper’s spread offense, but by Nov. 1, the Gators were turning to true freshman Treon Harris.

Although there were several issues keeping the Gators from reaching their potential in 2014, the lack of consistency at quarterback was certainly a significant contributor to a seven-win season.

For 2015, new head coach Jim McElwain has a major challenge ahead of him in determining the starting quarterback moving forward. It could very well be the difference between more of the same or a successful first season as head coach of the Gators.

2014 quarterback: Jeff Driskel, 1,140 yards, 9 TD, 10 INT; Treon Harris, 1,019 yards, 9 TD, 4 INT

2015 favorite: No favorite

Others involved: Will Grier, rising redshirt freshman

Level of concern (1-10): 9 — Florida has yet to find another reliable quarterback since the departure of Tim Tebow in 2009, so it’s hard to believe it’s a position that can be turned around in just one season — no matter the head coach. Even Treon Harris, who was electric at times this season, is still very raw and not accurate consistently enough to be taken seriously as a passer. Will Grier is more of the pocket passer, but with him not taking any collegiate snaps yet, how do you predict what you’ll get out of him, either? Quarterback for the Gators in 2015 is a giant question mark. Harris may have a slight, slight edge because of his starting experience this year, but it appears to be wide open.

When will it be decided: Fall camp. McElwain has expressly said that every position is open going into the offseason. Everyone has a clean sheet. And with Harris not running away with the job during his starting opportunities this season, I expect it to be a battle that carries all the way through the summer and potentially even into the first week of the season.

Biggest ally: Demarcus Robinson. The rising junior emerged as one of Florida’s lone playmaking threats within the offense. At 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, Robinson is a very athletic wide receiver who possesses a great catch radius. For both Harris and Grier, his reliability on the outside will certainly come in handy whether Harris still struggling with his accuracy or if Grier looks a little shaky in his first few collegiate starts. Regardless of who the quarterback is, Robinson will be the guy the starter wants to find downfield.
