Pretty much what most people here have been saying

Bryant still struggles throwing across the middle no matter the depth though. His accuracy is much better outside (and looked improved on screens) but the lack of velocity and/or the high arc due to his elongated delivery scare me. Against capable corners in press coverage, his easiest throw (the out) isn’t as safe as it seemed Saturday.

If you ask who I think should start, I’m still on the fence...for September. Bryant looked crisp and has improved his mental game. But the physical deficiencies (meaning his arm mechanics) still handicap the offense; corners and go routes are the only deep routes he throws with any sort of success, thereby pruning half the route tree. But his unquestioned grasp make me even more confident Clemson should go 13-0 no matter who plays quarterback.

But any wins beyond that, meaning the College Football Playoff? Bryant can (and likely will) get us there, but I don’t see Clemson winning it without Lawrence. My lasting impression from the spring remains: if Lawrence is the quarterback in the postseason, Clemson will win the national championship.

Don’t mistake this for dumping on Bryant; his performance showed me he may be able to fend off Lawrence longer than most expect, and his praise is not lip service from the coaching staff. But by November, if Lawrence isn’t taking the majority of the snaps (ideally, in my mind, he will relegate Bryant to a short yardage/red zone QB package like Tim Tebow in 2006) then I fear 2018’s ceiling is the same as 2017’s: a flameout against a good defense which won’t allow efficient drives.

Bryant simply doesn’t have the skillset to take the top off the defense consistently, whereas Lawrence was already manipulating safeties with his eyes and obliterating them with his arm this spring. The staff knows this, and it’s why I expect Lawrence to siphon more and more snaps throughout September and October to prepare him for the heroics Clemson will surely need against elite defenses in the postseason.
