Some of us are gonna feel pretty stupid when KB


May 22, 2018, 7:34 AM

Starts and completely destroys people and throws like 6 tds in the first two games. Yeah I know TL is the future but KB will certainly have a chip on his shoulder. He might just come out with something to prove. We all know TL will end up the man but it might be hard to bench KB if he is destroying people. If I was KB I’d be filled with drive about now. Lord what drama we have....

I can see 6 TDs in the first 2 games.


May 22, 2018, 7:38 AM

5 against Furman and 1 against aTm. Makes sense.

After a dismal performance against Bama and spring game Dabo sticks with his man.

Hence HJ saw the writing on the wall. He's not sticking around to be third string.

This coach doesn't do QB competition

Standing by your teams starting QB as a fan is always a good thing, but at the end of the day "dominating against Furman, and the lower ACC schools is not what wins championships.. With the exception of the Miami game, KB just did not perform (passing) against above average defenses.

Auburn ---------- 19-29 / 181 / 0-0
Boston College -- 17-26 / 140 / 0-2
Wake Forest ----- 21-29 / 200 / 1-1
Florida State --- 20-30 / 151 / 0-0
Miami ----------- 23-29 / 252 / 1-0
Alabama --------- 18-36 / 124 / 0-2
----------------- 65% / 174per / 2-5

As opposed to 65% / 219per / 11-3 against the rest of the competition. Won't ever hear me complaining about winning conference championships, but if the real goal is that next level than KB just isn't the answer in my opinion. Understand he is a great runner, but so was Jalen Hurts and look where that got him.. KB probably will start against Furman and he will probably perform just fine, but chances are so will Trevor Lawrence in the 2nd half so what does that prove.

This is our 6 hardest games last season. Not exactly 'elite'

QB stats. I would actually say its below average



A lot of people like to defend him because of rushing TDs but he isn't a Lamar Jackson type of rushing game changer. His rushing TDs could just have easily been scored by ETN or Feaster because they were almost exclusively from inside the 5 yard line. I haven't even taken notes on how many of them were designed pass plays where he 'improvised'.

It got Jalen Hurts a NC ring his fresman year and why wouldn't you include Wake Forest as a lower tier ACC school?
I have no problem with Lawrence starting, I'm just tired of the K.B. bashing.

Nice argument


May 22, 2018, 10:46 AM

But just so you know, Jalen hurts wasn’t the starting qb for Bama when they won the championship. It was Jake Coker. Technically he got a ring, but not as the starter. And if you were referring to last year, then hurts was on his way to getting curb stomped by uga until Saban put Tua in

Well who knows what would have happened if our OL hadn't blocked like a middle-school powder-puff game?

What I think is even funnier is that in 5 years we will look back and say “did we really think kb was better than TL” after Trevor wins another title and a heisman lol
Dude is literally the best QB rivals has ever scouted

My guess is that you will feel pretty stupid


May 22, 2018, 7:53 AM

no matter what happens

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I don't think any of us would expect anything less.


May 22, 2018, 7:54 AM

He is great vs lesser D's. He could throw for 8 TD's vs Furman if we wanted hom to. It all depends how much time we divide among our qbs. He could throw for 4 or 5 vs A&M's D. All 3 of our QB's would more than likely do that if that was our goal.

May 22, 2018, 8:04 AM

I'm curious how stupid some may feel when they realize Texas A&M game might not be as easy as you assume it will be. Several preseason ranks have them in the potential top 25, which means they likely didn't lose a bunch of guys.... And they are in fact 1 of 3 teams, Clemson and UGA being the other 2, that beat Auburn in the regular season last year (even though they fired their coach). I wouldn't exactly assume they will be super easy with a coach that is annually used to how Clemson plays.

I would be more worried if we caught them later in the season. Jimbo

May 22, 2018, 8:11 AM [ in reply to Re: Some of us are gonna feel pretty stupid when KB ]

I agree with you. I think it will be similar to the Auburn game last season. I foresee KB struggling and TL taking over the game. You can't tell me if TL was here last year he wouldn't have taken over the Auburn game.

Not to mention it is against Fisher who has given us fits every single year. FSU has played us close each of the last 3 meetings. We pulled all of them out somehow on defensive performance.

I hope they didn’t lose anybody off that defense lol did u see that bowl game vs wake? Maybe a bad way to gauge their d since it was meaningless and they prob “didn’t wanna be there” like all the other sec teams that lose their bowl games

Re: Some of us are gonna feel pretty stupid when KB


May 22, 2018, 8:14 AM

Coach was going out.... That also factors in during a bowl game. But again, since when did a coach change mean a team continues to look like it did with the previous coach? Sure am glad this still doesn't look like Bowden's team. ;)

Re: Some of us are gonna feel pretty stupid when KB


May 22, 2018, 8:07 AM

Sure he will, against Furman. Thing is you belive in magic I guess and think he will somehow get a lot better. Closer to the truth is the spring game, that is KB as a passer.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Some of us are gonna feel pretty stupid when KB


May 22, 2018, 8:42 AM

If KB throws 6 tds in the first 2 games then TL will have thrown at least 10 and been out of the game by halftime so KB gets extra mop up duty

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

KB will be our starting QB no matter what


May 22, 2018, 11:07 AM

for the start of the season. TL won't be ready to go until he's got all the playbook digested. Mind you he's a true freshman. The key will be mid season to late season. TL will probably be good to go by then and at that point if KB shows any negative output its going to get interesting. FSU will be a win or go home type game. I think they'll be undefeated and a top 10 team and we'll be a fighting for the ACC again at Doak. They gave us fits at death valley last year b/c their Defense is still legit. If they had an offense that was at all reliable they would have beat us. Willie T will have a better offensive gameplan than Jimbo.

Our games will be @FSU and i hate going to Wake and going to BC. Those two are always snoozers and we have in the past liked to play those teams too close. And they're both ready for a shock win. Can't score 19 pts and expect to win those games.

All the other teams we will beat bc we are home or just lights out better than. FSU is close talent wise and one of the Wake/BC away games could prove to be a stinger if we are scoring low with KB.
