Not if...

the coaches feel that Watson has won the job in the fall.(b4 the 1st game)
IMO, if you're not going award the starting job to DW from DAY 1- 1st game, then commit totally to redshirting him.

how can we possibly red shirt him?

We have 2 QBs and a couple of walk-ons. You have to have two playing and usually you play three. We had 4 QBs get reps last year.

He's not redshirting

Coaches will get him as many reps in as possible this year in prep for the next two years. If he's as good as advertised he's gone in three years anyway so might as well get him the experience for next year.

You know, that stud running back out of Charlotte than Danny Pearman was too lazy to even make a phone call to.

watson got injured kelly was dismissed
stoudt was DEFAULTED into the starting QB position
for as "good" as fans here say he is it's rather odd that he wasn't a SHOE IN as the starter competing against a TRUE FRESHMAN and a RS SOPHOMORE coming off of an ACL tear............instead it was "WIDE OPEN"

^^^^If Cole Stoudt was NOT a 'shoe in' after watching the SG, regardless of CK's dismissal, then we have some stupid-azz coaches that need to find another profession. Just sayin'.
In other words - Cole WAS a 'shoe in' for starter. Maybe not in YOUR eyes - but in most people's opinions - he was.

Well I guess the search for new coaches should be on. I think the spring game more than anything was ab putting Kelly on a lesser team than what Stoudt was going to work with. When you go out there with Humphries and Rodriguez as your best receivers, you're kinda doomed considering the other receivers Clemson has. I don't think Stoudt was going to be named the starter after that until what happened with Kelly. But Kelly failed horribly when the coaches wanted to see how he would handle all of that. In the end, it is what it is. Kelly is gone and Cole Stoudt is Clemson's QB right now, just holding it down until Deshaun steps in

Kelly was put in a situation where he was going to prove that against the odds he was a better QB or be so that after the game if cole was named the starter that they could look at the spring game and give Chad a reason that he wasn't starting other than Cole has been here longer. They put Kelly who already had problems in a position to fully max out his emotions and he couldnt handle it. In the end though it is best that he is gone and Cole will get a honorary season to play some before it is Watson's show.

I'm keeping up fine but DW won't redshirt, he will get much needed playing time during mop up duty.

IMO, getting a few series at the end of the SC State and Georgia State games isn't worth a chance to give him an extra year. I hope the plan is to redshirt him baring injury to Stoudt.

Agree. Especially with Schuessler there too. Although Watson probably leaves early for the draft, so in the end it probably won't matter

DW will have to make a decision after 3 years no matter what - why not get him dialed in with decent play time this year??? See Manzel last year. See Winston this year (baring prison). He will not be able to go 5 years in college, best we can hope is three, and he decides to come back for fourth. Crazy not to use him this year.

They will be putting him in every chance they get not just in mop up duty for SC state. The only way he does not get extensive game time this season is if he beat FSU and are in the hunt for a title. We lose to UGA and FSU the coaches might go ahead and throw him in there and they might as well because with the play off this year 2 losses and your done and I doubt FSU is gonna drop 2 ACC games if they beat us.

I hope not as well...that would mean that Cole performed horribly and we probably have lost 3 or 4. I would much rather see him win an award next year.

1st of All Stoudt was Slaughtering Kelly for #1 QB Job
Jun 12, 2014, 6:37 PM
|

Dabo and Chad promised Kelly a shot at the job and kept their promise knowing Kelly would come up short. Watson will not play much and only in mop-up duty. If Watson plays, it means Stoudt has played very poorly and cost us games. I expect Stoudt to exceed everyone's expectations and Watson to become starter in 2015 with Clemson fans asking if he can have the season Stoudt had in 2014.
