Frustrated Chad Kelly meets with Morris and Swinney, says future is now

Backup quarterback Chad Kelly came to Clemson to play football, not sit the bench. After not taking a snap in the home finale against The Citadel, the frustrated New York native had a long meeting with Dabo Swinney and Chad Morris, and he feels that his future is now. Full Story »

No longer does Dabo and Texas lead the posting here. It's now all about QBs for next year!!

Kelly is super motivated to show out. I agree with Morris from his Monday interview, this spring is going to be very exciting by watching the QB race.

Kelly hurls one:

Kelly does give us a better shot


Dec 19, 2013, 10:46 AM

To win next year. Stout has done well but he just can't run as well which is vital for our offense. Watson would benefit from a redshirt year. Kelly could do great next year. I hope he does. We don't want him to transfer and then only have stout an a redshirt freshman.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Disagree big time. Stoudt is a much better passer than


Dec 19, 2013, 10:59 AM

Kelly. And he can run just enough to run the offense. Points and big plays come through the passing game and Stoudt is better than Kelly. He's also got more time in the offense and understands it better.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm sure they both understand the offense


Dec 19, 2013, 11:08 AM

This is a common point everyone likes to make between Cole and Chad but what makes everyone believe Cole knows the offense better. Kelly has had two years to learn the offense, was recruited specifically for this offense, and calls in the plays from the sidelines. I think it is safe to say that he probably knows the offense as well as anyone else on the team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Just from watching them both play on the field, Cole

Dec 19, 2013, 11:10 AM [ in reply to Disagree big time. Stoudt is a much better passer than ]

I agree. If you watched both play this year Stoudt was clearly the better player. More poise, more confidence, much better passer, much more experienced. If the season started tomorrow we'd be crazy not to start Stoudt.

We have only seen them both in mop up duty against chity competition.

Wrong. Stoudt had to come in for meaningful time


Dec 19, 2013, 6:05 PM

In 2012 Tajh got beat up a few times, leading to meaningful playing time for Stoudt. He handled it well in 2012, and is even better this year.

Dec 19, 2013, 11:25 AM [ in reply to Disagree big time. Stoudt is a much better passer than ]

season of being pounded. He's a great passer and has that needed composure of a QB as you say. But he is extremely lanky and when he is in motion I keep thinking about how one solid tackle could snap something. There is no way he could be as effective at running into defenders as Boyd has been and Kelly could be. But with open field and clear holes in the line, he can certainly get some yards on the ground. Is that a good fit for Morris' plan? Maybe not.

But we'll see who wins the race in about 9 months.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Just because you're lanky


Dec 19, 2013, 7:09 PM

doesn't mean you're not tough. Big guys tear ligaments all the time....

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

Well, yeah. But lanky refers to muscle mass as much as


Dec 19, 2013, 7:24 PM

anything else. And if you are low on muscle what gets hit? Bone. Organs. I'm not saying he might not be tough. He just doesn't have the build of someone you would put into situations of forced hard contact all the time. Look at some of the ways Boyd ran head on into defenders like back would and pushed. I just don't see Stoudt being either good at that all the time or able to withstand a lot of it.

He is a great QB. Just not the same kind as Boyd or that Kelly will probably be. He may be able to bulk up some over the spring. Dunno.

Dec 19, 2013, 11:58 AM [ in reply to Disagree big time. Stoudt is a much better passer than ]

I agree Stoudt better passer but can Kelly greatly improve his passing with a lot more reps? I like his competitive fire and wouldnt put it past him to eventually overtake CS.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You're right, maybe I should have clarified myself and


Dec 19, 2013, 4:23 PM

stated that right now Cole is the better passer. Kelly could pass him in that regard though. If the season started tomorrow, Cole should start. We'll see in 9 months though.

I dont have a personal favorite, just want the best player available to start.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Kelly does give us a better shot


Dec 19, 2013, 12:42 PM [ in reply to Kelly does give us a better shot ]

Stoudt makes good decisions with the ball in his hands... the best QBs are the ones who make the best decisions in any offense.
Kelly is faster, Stoudt does not make mistakes. What lost the USC game, lack of a fast QB or mistakes? We might hit 10 wins with either one. Stoudt more likely to get us to 12 wins that Kelly, Stoudt knows this offense. I am not sure Kelly does yet?

OK, Let's sort this all out. Watson is going to be the "face of the program", according to Deshaun quoting Dabo, and Kelly will be the man according to Chad quoting "The Chad"? Who is going to anoint poor Cole Stoudt as the next heir apparent to Tajh? Brent Venables?

Sure Kelly could have played, but at the same time
he should be somewhat thankful that, he may have been
protected because he did have that injury to a very
delicate part of his leg.

Calm down Kelly. Just beat Cole and the job is yours.
If you don't I believe you will still see a lot of action.

For anyone that thinks Kelly doesn't have as good or better arm than Stoudt does, then you have only seen the 50+ plays that Kelly was on the field.

Chad has a great arm and has great accuracy on the run. He absolutely gives Clemson the best chance to win...Stoudt's experience will garner much consideration at the first part of the season though.

You haven't been watching Stoudt over the last two years. Particularly in 2012 when he had to come in when Tajh got beat up.

Don't worry- Chad Kelly will transfer with the brains of the coaching staff as soon as Dabos savior gets head coaching job after bowl game.

Not a hater. Not a coot. Morris knows what he is doing.

If Morris Stays and Stoudt beats Kelly out Stoudt will have to play flawless not to lose job.

If we can retain Morris we can retain being 10-2/3 and not reverting back to 8-5.
Still may not solve beating SC problem as Morris definitely a part of it- but feel Daboless he would master the equation.
