Kelly B will be our starter just like Cole Stoudt the year DW4 took over
Mar 27, 2018, 5:36 PM

I don’t think there is any way for TL to separate himself from the competition in practice or even the spring game ... Practices and spring games are low / no stakes compared to playing time ...
Unfortunately, for both KB and TL fans, KB will have to lose a game and/or perform terribly for TL to get his chance ...
I believe TL is the next big thing . We love KB but it would be very big of him to ride the bench ....

You mean the year that DW4 missed the bulk of Spring practice due to a broken collarbone and we started the year on the road against a pretty good Georgia team?

Sorry. Didn't mean to say that to you, it was meant for the guy who said KB and Cole Stoudt are the same player

Cole also didn't ever play a 2-6 FSU either, FWIW. He was replaced when he played them.

But what about Hunter Johnson? Just gonna skip over him and all the hard work he has put in since he been on campus. There is no way they throw in TL ahead of HJ, think about how that will mess with HJ's head? Chase Brice is a gamer as well.. it's definitely a sticky situation and I'm glad the coaches has to make the decisions lol

I have never liked the "think of all the hard work he has

put in" conversation. Pretty sure all these kids work their tail off trying to get on the field. Superior talent ought to trump "hard work" every time if it gives the team a better chance to win. It's called being outrecruited. Like Dabo said when he finally replaced Stoudt with DW4, it wasn't anything Cole did wrong, it was just a lot of things that Watson did better.
From my perspective, what kept KB as the starter last year was his superior running ability. Now, we are hearing that Lawrence possesses some surprisingly good running skills as well. And, his arm talent is Light years ahead of Bryant. So, it should only be a matter of time and a little experience, he will take over as the starter. If he doesn't, it must mean that Bryant has improved fantastically. Either would be a great problem to have.

IMO KB started last year based on his ability to manage the offense and win games. Running ability was simply a bonus. While HJ has a higher ceiling as does TL my belief is managing the game, protecting the ball thus giving our D a long field to work with will have the biggest weight in terms of who starts.

That worked fine for last year, and will certainly go on to help us win the ACC. However, it's tough to win a national championship with a game manager at QB.
I think KB is above a normal "game manager," but isn't a QB that can win a national championship, at least right now. If he progresses over the off season then sure, but will he be able to is the question.

I have no doubt Dabo will start the QB who does the most good for our team. I'm not stressing over anyone not understanding or believing this for doubt, confusion or contentions from the cheap seats won't stop the show.

Some of you would run a program into the ground. You wouldn't be able to hold Muscoot's jock strap when it comes to coaching and decision making. Let Dabo and co. worry about it. Just sit back and enjoy winning...that's all you have to do.
