We need Kelly even if he isn’t the #1 QB. If TL goes down we need Kelly Bryant. Hope he stays and gets more playing time to better his skills.

I think he should see playing time at other positions. If all goes well we can redshirt him and put him in an another role but have him as an option, in case Something happens to QB1. I think he was given a bunch of options by the coaching staff to get to the Next level.

He is a good Q.B. Losing his starting job and staying at Clemson would end any NFL hope. If he took the rest of the season off and worked on his passing game, he could play somewhere else next year and maybe get in the NFL in late rounds. I don't like the current College system that lets the players do this. Since the system is what it is, I can't blame K.B. if he plays it.
I admire Dabo for not starting him against Cuse and locking him in. It shows how much character Dabo truly has.

N0,Bryant will never get drafted into the NFL as a quarterback. It's already been said that any team considering him would use him in some other capacity such as a wide receiver or special teams player. I'm getting sick of the drama but you know Clemson created it and now they have to deal with it. Look at Hunter Johnson. We brag about getting all these hi * position players but they can't all play. If the other man plays better than you do then he gets the starting job. If Kelly Bryant can't comprehend this, he is not as dedicated to Clemson at Dabo says he is.

Re: KB has NFL talent...


Sep 26, 2018, 9:11 AM

Exactly my thoughts. He's going to need to "Braxton Miller" his way into NFL. And he can start that process in ACC conference play with Clemson. I think I recall Scott or Elliott this summer making a remark that, even if TL16 beat out KB2, he would still see the field in some capacity. I think they have some schemes and packages to use him.

But missing a 2nd day is concerning and disappointing.....if a valid reason is not given by CDS.

Re: I don't think he is doing that.


Sep 25, 2018, 11:46 PM [ in reply to I don't think he is doing that. ]

Why didn't he do that after the Bama game when it was clear as a bright day that, if he didn't improve his passing, he will not have a future at the next level. He had the chance to improve his passing game the entire summer and fall practice. He either thought that he would just wake up one morning and he would be an elite passing QB, Or, for some reason he felt that the NFL had a need for a running QB with a 50-50 short passing game. But most of all, he must have tuned out all the talk about what an elite talented TL was, and he never went to youtube just to see for himself how good TL really was by looking at a couple of his HS games. I don't know why, nor do any of Tiger Nation knows why he didn't work work every awaken minute during the off season summer months to get his passing game up to par at the college level. T-Netter didn't stop him, and I don't think that Dabo or any other coach stopped KB from working his but off all summer to improve his passing strength and accuracy. I'm thinking that he must have taken a long break during the summer and went home for awhile. I remember that Tajh Boyd always stayed at Clemson during the summer to work on his passing game!!!

Or


Sep 26, 2018, 2:31 AM

He could have worked all summer on his passing game and trying to improve, which is much more likely than he was sitting on his couch at home with his fingers in his ears, but the fact is he has reached his ceiling as a QB and no matter how much time he puts in he’s just not going to improve.

Re: He needs to stay, even if he wants to transfer


Sep 26, 2018, 8:05 AM [ in reply to Not looking Good At... ]

He should talk to Dabo, agree to be the emergency QB, and finish out the year. He can transfer next year (Arkansas?), and play somewhere else if he really thinks that will get him an NFL job.

I would think that, if nothing else, he would want his degree.

IF TL gets hurt, god forbid, we would need him, and he could show that he can finish as a champion.

If he decides to leave now. We play on with TL & Chase. As Dabo has stated, "We can win with all 3 of our QB's"

I never post on here just read some of the dumb stuff people come up with Clemson never would have beat A&M without Bryant or Wallace. Yes I agree Bryant holds the ball and tucks to quickly, but this young man will play his guts out. It is easy to make your coaching opinion from the recliner but your not looking thru the facemask it is a lot different probably most of y'all never stepped on a field before. Bryant has been pressured steady it's like if he goes out there and makes 1 mistake he is gonna get yanked and lose his starting position. I think if he would have had some more reps everything would have been ok. Just look at Clemson defense first 2 series at GT didn't see them getting yanked they just settled in and played ball.

I have loved this kid and what he’s done for this program post-DW4, BUT this is not at all how a leader acts. Misses two practices?!!!
Maybe he needs to find his safe space...
This is not a good example he is setting for others, it has become the trend amongst our youth when adversity hits us, and he will regret it for the rest of his life.
He should have never ever missed practice! Poor example to set for those teammates who looked up to him. Just bad every which way.
Even if he comes back, he’s lost a little from my stand point. I’ll be asking, Can he be trusted?
Having said that, I truly hope he gets his butt back to practice or, like I said, he will regret it for the rest of his life...

I have heard it over and over “no lifetime contracts”. Hate it for this fine young man. Clemson has gotten to the point where studs can get benched. Like Herbie stayed, “embarrassment of riches”. We have a rock solid QB getting benched, Someone like Feaster fighting to even get Some playing time, and the third string QB could probably start at 80% of D1 schools, he won’t sniff the field unless folks leave. Bottom line: these days if you want to line up for the Tigers you had better Bring your freakin A game on a daily, and even then you may still be waiting in line.

If Kelly leaves that mean we are one play away from Hunter Johnson starting. So we go from a playoff qb to a 4 game in freshman to possibly a 3rd string qb and please reframe from the "Hunter Johnson can start for most D1 schools" the only problem there is Clemson isn't "most D1" schools. Hunter Johnson wouldn't start on any of the top 5 teams in the country so I believe if Kelly leaves this could turnout to be very tragic.

I was shocked to see so many on here think he'll stay on as the backup. He's just never struck me as a guy that would accept that. He's a solid QB that would start at a lot of places and he knows it. He's just not the best QB on our roster right now, but that doesn't take anything away from him. It's pretty common these days for players that get passed on the depth chart to take their talents elsewhere, especially at QB, it's just the time we live in.

Whatever he decides, I wish nothing but the best for KB. I've been as big a fan of his as anyone and know he'll have success.

For wanting to play his last year in full. But there are no guarantees wherever you go. He could start alot of places but he'd also sit the bench alot of places too. Hes a good leader and a solid QB but hes not a guy who will just win you games bc he's on the field.

If he does want to play another year I'd call Jeremy Pruitt....I guarantee he'll play at UT.

Re: I hope he stays but I expect him to transfer


Sep 25, 2018, 9:04 PM [ in reply to I hope he stays but I expect him to transfer ]

I do think Dabo has to set an example for the rest of the team, too. KB wasn't the best QB last week, and maybe with a few different play calls, he may have been better, or maybe worse, in the other games. Who knows. I think he was a great contributor to our Team, but he isn't bigger than the program, and his team mates deserve the best guy to be "The Guy". Maybe next week, KB could be "The Guy", and things change with the depth chart, but right now, TL has earned it. If KB wants it back, let him earn it back. Otherwise, it's next man up, and I wish him well wherever he lands. Clemson FB is too big now to have to wait on one player, even a KB, and the other guys have worked too hard not to reach their potential. Remember, several of those guys returned to complete " some unfinished business".

You really think letting him RUN the show at a smaller school with not even 1/4 of our WR talent would somehow get him drafted in the NFL as a QB?

Sep 26, 2018, 8:41 AM

He's not an NFL caliber QB but I think he'd much rather run the show somewhere instead of ride the bench at Clemson. Transferring gives him playing time.

Sep 25, 2018, 8:55 PM

I love Kelly B and have always rooted and pulled for him, but if this has to do with feeling bad for losing his starting position it does rub me the wrong way a little bit. I have no problem with him transferring for nothing other than playing one more year of the game he loves, but while you’re still on the team you need to show up for practice. There have been countless seniors that have lost playing time to the young phenoms that have come through this program. There are senior players on this team that are last on the depth chart and still go to work everyday.

He could be better on return, without all the pressure.


Sep 25, 2018, 9:04 PM

I hope he returns, and gets to play a lot. However, if he transfers, I wish him the best.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I support him regardless of what he decides to do.


Sep 25, 2018, 9:14 PM

But honestly, we don't need him in order to reach our goals this season, including a national championship.

Would we like his leadership, knowledge, and athleticism in case Lawrence gets hurt? Absolutely!

But we don't need him in order to have a successful season. He doesn't need to be guaranteed a specific number of plays or series. He doesn't need special packages designed for him. If he stays, it should be because it has been made clear to him that he is the backup, and will play in garbage time if appropriate.

Simply put, we are a much better team offensively - and thus, a much better team overall - with Trevor as our QB. Dabo did the right thing by naming Trevor the starter.

I hope Bryant stays. He has done a lot for our program. But I won't blame him one bit if he decides to transfer so he can play elsewhere. I would hope that everyone else here supports him and what he feels is best for himself and his future.

Sep 25, 2018, 10:32 PM

But I disagree that he would be called upon to win a game for us in that scenario. Again, this is assuming that Lawrence stays healthy, which I believe he will.

As for Brice, I take the coaches at their word that we can win with him if necessary.

Sep 25, 2018, 9:17 PM

already been about a dozen players in the last few days that have declared that they will sit out the remainder of their seasons to redshirt and transfer. The most notable is a very good WR at Oklahoma State who's in the school's top 10 in several career statistical categories. He said he's transferring because he isn't getting the ball enough this year.

This is all possible due to the new rule that allows players to play in up to 4 games, at any point during the season, and still be eligible to redshirt. Ironically i think it was primarily coaches lobbying for this rule change.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Has ANYONE - on ANY of these threads...


Sep 25, 2018, 9:24 PM

Realized that he was named second string.....FOR. ONE. GAME. ONLY.? Dabo didn't hand the keys to TL for the season....he gave him starting position for ONE GAME.

This is common today. Dabo said "best players wins the position" and apparently that's what happened.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No way KB retakes the starting role from Trevor.


Sep 25, 2018, 9:28 PM

Trevor is significantly more skilled and well-rounded as a QB. I appreciate Kelly, how hard he has worked, the way he has represented Clemson, and the many contributions he has made to our program. But Trevor is clearly the better QB and there is no chance KB wins back the starting job.

I appreciate what KB has done and his choice for his future is his choice. I hope KB stays but personally I am leaning toward he doesn't. Subsequentlly, does anyone think he would have been 16 - 2 with the team talent between 2000 and 2012? Tee, ETN, Feaster, Cain, and the rest of the offense were controlled and handled by Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last year because they had a defensive game plan that understood the Tigers offense was basically one dimensional with KB at QB. When a defense can load up like that and the play calling is limited due to talent, then everyone on offense looks bad.
With the change to TL, now Ds have to respect everything across the field rather than between the tackles for the most part.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy - KB2


Sep 25, 2018, 9:58 PM

Seriously, I think it was kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy that he lost the starter job to TL because it got in his head and has been on display on his face all season long every time the camera has shown him. Anyone that hasn't been able to see how despondent he's looked on the sideline when TL has gone in is just blinded by their orange-tinted glasses.

I really appreciate KB and feel that it was an amazing feat to get us to the CFB Playoff last year, but KB has never really been a guy that exuded confidence. Rather, they always had to tell him to stop trying to be DW4, just be Kelly B.

And so he created this persona where he was always bouncing around, dancing, bobbing his head with headphones on looking care-free while warming up, but none of it felt legit like it did with Deshaun. He taught himself to do it, but it never came natural, which actually speaks volumes about his athleticism (meaning high level).

Anyways, like Dabo said, starter jobs are week to week, not handed out for the season. And I have to say, it disappoints me that KB gave up on it all so easily. But again, I think it's already in his head now and self-fulfilling.

Lastly, I'll just say that I really think he got it into his head that some how, some way, he was going to get drafted to the NFL as a QB and that was simply NEVER going to happen. I mean, for 2017, he had 13 TD passes and 8 INT's. It's remarkable that he took as far as he did, but that says a lot about our team as a whole.

It never really felt like we were winning last year. We just kept not losing enough to make it to the end.

Anyways, wish KB the best whatever he decides, but I REALLY hope he decides to stay because he could WIN back the job some weeks, be an integral component to the team that might make the difference if TL can't snap out of a Frosh cold streak, etc etc.

It would also be VERY smart for him to stay with Clemson and finish out with class. Because if he does, I have a strong feeling that Clemson University will take care of this young man going forward. But the NFL certainly isn't going to do it...he may have pipe dreams like the rest of us, but it ain't gonna happen (at least as QB).

Gotta disagree with this statement - “KB has never really been a guy that exuded confidence”.

Thinking back to the VT, Scar and Miami games last year, I don’t see what issue you could have had with his confidence.

He was one of an elite group of Clemson QBs to have led his team to a conference championship.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Self-Fulfilling Prophecy - KB2


Sep 26, 2018, 1:44 AM

Fair enough. KB's won some big-time games for us for sure.

But I guess I'm basing it mostly on the vibe he's been giving off so far this year where he's looked so stern or seems to be 'faking' confidence when the camera is on him. And as I said before, last year even the coaches spoke about the work they had to do building him up and convincing him to play his own style of QB rather than trying to replicate Deshaun, which he initially tried to do.

In contrast, so far TL has always had either a big smile on his face and looks like he is genuinely having fun and loves finally being at Clemson or has a look of concentration on his face, but never a look of self-doubt. Now, that might change a bit since he may find it's not so easy to be the first man up, especially if KB ditches the team leaving him without an experienced backup to lean on for advice and/or sub in for him if he can't find his rhythm in a game.

Team drama like that (if KB leaves) could potentially put a lot of unfair pressure on TL as well, discord or feelings of resentment toward him from some teammates or KB's friends. I hope that doesn't happen since it would be really bad for moral and assuredly affect the team as a whole.

Either way, I just hope that this situation resolves itself in a way that works out best for everyone involved as quickly as possible so that everyone, including KB, can see better days ahead and have something to work for that makes them happy.

Clemson needs KB2 this season. It will take 2 QBs to win


Sep 26, 2018, 12:15 AM

a NC this year. And by 2, I mean TL16 and KB2, not CB. I like CB, but KB has the experience and skill set the Clemson will need in some of games this year. I feel bad for KB, but Dabo made the right decision - a tough decision. AND this is a team sport.

Just because TL16 is the starter for the next game, does not mean that KB2 won't be the starter for other games. And it certainly does not mean that Clemson does not need and appreciate KB2. I hope KB2 sees that this is a team sport, and that a team needs lots of role player.

Good point but historically UGA knows how to power run the football. Clemson's offense is reliant on the QB's ability to move the chains with his feet.(or has been) I don't think for one instant that your coordinators are entertaining that possibility with Trevor. They will protect him and with good reason. That means your QB will no longer be one of the top rushers in your offense effectively changing the dynamics of your O.
