Kelly Bryant now gives his version of CU/transfer story

I'm saddened by it, too, but if that thought helps Kelly become and stay motivated to develop, then it's to his benefit to think that way. I figured during his down time that he would continue getting training from RR. I hope he learned to make his reads more quickly.

I was quite sure that Kelly had plateaued and would have to be willing to take a step back before he could develop the aspects of his game to succeed in any other scenario than what he was blessed with at Clemson in 2017. Since we survived the SYR game without him, I am happy for him and his decision and wish him nothing but the best.

But I do get tired of reading about how difficult it was to sit behind the legend. He was also sitting behind Scheussler. If he had been really applying himself, he wouldn't have been third string and stuck in "Keep It" mode every time he ran the option.

I don't know him at all as a person, but he seems to be that basically happy guy that needs a little adversity to overcome in order to reach his potential. Maybe the adversity he has faced recently has forced him to mature and treat the game as a potential career instead of a game.

Re: Saddened KB2 thinks only that Clemson Fans think critically of Him..

I agree, and he had plenty of time to improve his reads of defenses, and his down field passing game but, KB2 and KB2 alone chose to depend on his option QB run game sitting behind DW4 and playing as a mop up duty QB. IMO he was lucky to stay in front of Hunter Johnson as the starter, and that was mostly bc Hunter was a true freshman behind a junior that had backed up DW4, and our coaches hadn't yet seen KB2's inability to successfully lead our team against as good a team as an Elite Bama team, and that is when every coach we had knew that KB2 couldn't beat Bama. With Trevor Lawrence being recruited as the future leader of our Tiger FB team, the coaches saw the perfect opportunity to allow TL to compete with KB2 as our future QB and leader of our Tigers after KB2 was gone at the end of the season, but TL proved to be the best choice early in the season when KB2 failed to move the ball against GT, and TL scored 4 times out of 5 possessions in the first half, and that sealed KB2's fate from not ever starting another Clemson game as QB. The best QB we had became the leader of our Clemson Tigers in an undefeated season as National Champions, and the first ever 15-0 college FB team in the BCS era!!! Dabo made the Right Choice, Period!!!
