Here is my concern about our QB situation (long)
Apr 19, 2018, 11:32 AM

To start with I believe KB is very talented and I appreciate all that he has done, but the offense has to be designed around his style of play. It’s a very limited style too and as we all know a good defense knew what was coming next before KB did.
Our Wide receivers are not taken advantage of at all with this type of play calling either and when they do get an attempt it seems to be so poorly thrown it puts them in danger (remember the shot Higgins took attempting to catch a poorly thrown ball?)
I just hope that our coaches will have the good sense to have TL in the mix early in the season and the ability to flip to a fast pace pro style offense on a dime when (not if) KB goes to multiple 3 and outs at T&M and overthrows our receivers. If that is the case then fine, start KB and let this thing play out and I will have no concern at all.

If the defense knew what kb was doing before kb

How did clemson win 11 games, the acc title, and make it to the playoffs?
How do you know what KB'S style is?
Why do you think clemson's coaches have bad sense?
Why do you automaticlly kick Hunter to the curb in game2?

KB 2107 Stats for 75% of the Season
KB 200 yards or less passing games:
181 yards 0 TD 0 int 140 yards 0 TD 2 int 186 yards 1 TD 0 int 200 yards 1 TD 1 int 116 yards 0 TD 0 int 191 yards 1 TD 1 int 151 yards 0 TD 0 int 124 yards 0 TD 2 int
He threw for 3 TD and 6 int over the course of 8 games last year. He is the reason why we couldn’t beat Bama in the Sugar Bowl. They kept a spy on him to keep him from running and forced him to win with his arm and he could not produce.

None of those stats answer any of my questions.

But ill wander off topic with you. Do you honestly believe 1 person can beat 22? That 1 person can win or lose a game?
Watson also lost to bama the 1st time they played. I don't want to look back to your old posts, but were you saying watson should be benched and KB, tucker should be the QB in 2016?
I don't know what game you watched, but bama didn't need a spy on the qb vs clemson in 2018. Their front 5 was enough with well timed blitzes.

Watson lost a close game, and it was a great Bama squad going up against us. Watson wasn't 3TD and 6 Interceptions in the course of 8 games during regular season either. Watson could complete a forward pass to an open receiver. KB not so much.

Again, 3 TD Passes and 6 INTs over the course of 8 games last season. He threw for less than 200 yards during 8 games. That is anemic for a QB at Clemson.

to complete a forward pass. Of those 8 games, 5 were against top 36 pass defenses. In another, he was injured late as the defense wore down. The next week, he started hurt and had to leave the game.
Raw stats don't tell the whole story.

Why take a chance? Put the best guy in that gives us the best chance to win. That would be TL, not KB.

Clemson still has a good defense and talent. Guess they don't need to change anything.

And the fact that we out-talent essentially everyone on our schedule.
So are you suggesting that we play KB all season long against weaker opponents and put TL in the game during the playoffs when he has no experience and hope for the best? It's better to get the young man some experience if we are going to rely on him to win the Championship for us. You place a spy on KB, and cover the receivers in basic man coverage and you shut down KB instantly.

No, my argument is against KB not for him.

FSU lost their quarterback in game 1, team quit on their coach, and they became a 2-6 team instead of their normal selves... That's one way how.

For the most part, I agree with you. But KB did throw some passes in the 'Bama game that were dropped. And on the pick six, Cain was outfought for the ball. However, the growing evidence certainly seems to indicate that KB is not the type of dynamic passer Clemson needs in a spread offense. Either he improves or someone else gets the nod. Plain and simple.

So KB belongs in this discussion and HJ does not?

I'm glad we don't have the same definition of the word "long"

How to best handle it. It is fun to talk about and consider. It is a very exciting time to be a Tiger fan!
