Bentely would be our starting QB this year.


May 27, 2017, 1:28 PM

I'm not suggesting the guy is some all-star, and it's easy to poke fun at his idiotic comments. However, there's also very little doubt in my mind that he would be our starter game 1 against Kent St.

Potentially Hunter Johnson would win the job later in the season. Honestly, Bentely would probably be pretty good QB in our system with our OL. SCar's OL may be worst than Wake Forest.

Yeah, not a fan of delusional guys that quit halfway through a game though. He has some talent, he's just not surrounded by a strong supporting cast...and probably won't be anytime soon.

I'm searching to find where this so called talent is. They miraculously beat Tennessee and he had a good game against a horrendous South Florida defense. No mobility and not quick at reacting in the pocket. I'm amazed by the hype he is getting

No he wouldn't. He can't complete downfield passes consistently and his mobility is very limited. He had two games against quality defenses last year and...well need I say more?

May 27, 2017, 9:48 PM [ in reply to Re: Bentely would be our starting QB this year. ]

2-4 yd quick hitters, and short yardage passes to the tight end.....packages designed to mask downfield incapability due to poor OL play and poor QB passing skills.....face it, on the occasions he moved around enough to give himself time, Bentley usually overthrew or underthrew and rarely lead receivers properly. He even overthrew and underthrew a significant percentage of the short ydg packages.

He may develop into a serviceable QB eventually, but he's shown very little so far that would lead one to believe he's "the answer".....and don't see what usuck's QB recruiting in the last few classes would lead ANYONE to believe otherwise

Fact: This article was written after THREE GAMES..

that he started as QB, against terrible Missouri and Massachusetts teams, and a beat up Tennessee.
Fact: he had not faced Florida or Clemson with ranked defenses yet.
Fact: He was not responsible for a single TD pass in his last THREE regular season games(Florida, Western Carolina, Clemson).
Fact: The article was a bit premature given his later performances against better teams.

of our QBs. He would not have been 2nd string here last year; as a true freshman he still would have been behind Schuessler and probably behind an experienced Kelly Bryant. Therefore he would not have had the benefit of a year as a starter that he got in Cootlumbia. Even if he'd been able to transfer here after last season, go through spring practice and have immediate eligibility, he'd still be battling with the rest of our QBs, in my opinion, and I'm not sure at all he could beat out any of them this year.

Either you're not really a football fan, or you're a coot. Bentley would not see the field at Clemson. He had to run back and forth to the sidelines just to get plays. This is after starting the previous 5 games for them and I don't remember him having to that before. He lead his team to a 35 point deficit in the first half and was thankful he didn't have to go back out there. No, he doesn't have the talent level of Bryant, Johnson, Cooper OR Israel.

Often forgotten fact: Hunter Johnson was the #1 ranked QB for the year. J. Bentley was in the same class when someone decided that 15 years was enough to spend before graduation, and he enrolled about the same time daddy got a new job. I believe JB was ranked about 5-6 in the QB class. I used to feel bad that he had been pimped out by his dad for a job, until he opened the hole beneath that gigantic forehead. So no. Lil Bentley would not start for us imo. We got the best guy in his class, a better one the year before, and a better one coming next year. We are good!

That's about it. The fact he started at USuCk last year is a testament to the fact his daddy is a coach on the staff. They have no offensive line again this year. Their star wide receiver finally caught his first TD pass in the bowl game (let that sink in. Your #1 receiver has 1 TD catch).

I don't want to spend much time defending Jake Bentley, but


May 28, 2017, 1:11 PM

no, he wasn't terrible. He completed 66% of his passes at 7.5 YPA over 7 starts. There was some bad competition in there, but he also faced 2 top 6 S&P+ defenses (Florida and Clemson) so it's not he played all chumps.

Football is the ultimate team sport. There are 21 other starters out there that all play a role in whether or not a team wins a game. QB might be the single most important position, but you can't place all of the blame on a QB for losing a game. The entire SC team was terrible against us. Their OL was atrocious.

And don't forget that we also made JT Barrett and Jalen Hurts look stupid in the playoffs. Both of those guys were 1st team all-conference QBs last year in their respective leagues and neither could throw on us.

Daddy should have stuck with FBS coaching! And Jake should have went to Bama or LSU and rode the pine splinters!

Remember Scott was with him a year at PC,quit and went to coaching high school to get away from him ? He was asked to leave before lawsuits from coed's families started coming.

Re: Bentely would be our starting QB this year.

I agree with you. Bentley would start the opening game this year for Clemson just based off of his experience. Zerrick Cooper is likely just as talented as Bentley, we'll have to wait and see what he does on the field. Hunter Johnson is probably more talented than Bentley, but like Zerrick, we've just haven't seen him take a meaningful snap.

Bentley is kind of an old school QB, and that is not necessarily a good thing.

He's all swagger and bravado but quite frankly he got in over his head and was totally shelled against Clemson.

He's not a statue in the pocket the way, say, Conner Mitch (who I corrected predicted would last maybe two games before he wound up in traction) was...but he also cannot really extend plays with his feet like Connor Show or certainly Deshaun Watson can.

He's a gunslinger but he doesn't have quite the arm strength of a Chad Kelly.

If he was a more measured, cerebral guy I'd say Bentley had the ingredients to be a good game-manager, the sort of QB that Saban plugged in for his first eight years or so at Alabama before he switched to this mobile-QB thing he's clearly still not comfortable with. The problem is that Jake Bentley isn't really grounded enough to be that sort of QB and will take chances - sometimes huge chances - which Nick Saban would absolutely not be enthusiastic about.

I don't really know where Bentley fits on the college football map. Honestly being a big fish in a small pond like South Carolina. The big schools passed on him because he's just not talented enough to play for any of them, but he's just talented enough - and cocky enough - to make a splash at a place like South Carolina, as long as they don't adjust the lenses on their expectations too greatly.

He more than kind of reminds me of a Steve Taneyhill. A little limited athletically, more than a bit country, thinks a ton of himself. Good thrower, not a great thrower.

He would not start at Clemson. Period. I just don't think he has the work ethic, the grounded nature, the humility, or the ability to compete and improve you gotta have to be successful at Clemson. At Clemson, there's always 2-3 guys around you as good as you, so you'd better learn, improve, and develop. At South Carolina...I think with a lot of guys what you see is pretty much what you get. They aren't being pressed, so why improve?

Agree with your disagree. We run our QB, have for years. Bentley hasn't shown any scramblingability. Stands tall in the pocket, but top tier d lines eat that **** up, batted balls, high throws. Mobile QB creates space & guns or runs. D4 was an artist at it. So was Woody D & Homer Jordan, works like a charm in College ball. Woodrow was the original spread QB, would love love love to see him run this modern day spread. Stats for days.

I think he would because I go back to Cole Stoudt...


May 29, 2017, 8:18 AM [ in reply to Re: disagree ]

Coaches started Stoudt over the greatest QB to ever play at Clemson for Games 1, 2, and 3. Cole freaking Stoudt.

The gap between Watson and Stoudt was enormous, but Stoudt had a little experience.

Bentley had 6 games of experience. That's why I think he would start Game 1. And that's also why I think Kelly Bryant starts Game 1.

If DW4 couldn't do it, then no true freshman can.

What's the deal with the Bentley hate?

You guys clearly are going to be a much better team than we will be next year. What's with the need to deny his actual talent?
