Lawrence or Bryant
Jul 18, 2018, 2:29 PM
|
|
After talking to the coaches over the last couple of days and especially talking to Brandon Streeter yesterday and Dabo last night, I don't get where everybody thinks Byant automatically starts. I think people read into things and see that they want to see. Dabo and Brandon have both said the best player will play, and if you don't do that you can lose the team.
Just spoke with Tommy Bowden, and he said he thinks Dabo has learned from 2014.

I also think that many of our fans think it needs to be resolved by the 1st game or even now. The coaches can sort it out when they both are playing the first few games. What's the big deal?

I love me some Lawrence but I don't think starting him
Jul 18, 2018, 4:27 PM

at QB is the best idea. I mean he's like 340 lbs. Keep him at DT, his natural position please.

I guess you forgot about Jared Kushner (or whatever his name was), the 350 Lb. QB that started for the Kentucky Mildcats!

I agree but, if KB looks the way he did in the bama and spring game when we play A&M, I hope that somebody has the nuts to pull him before we have run out of opportunities to pull the game out for a win!!!

Don't think anyone IS questioning it...or could. Is it September yet? Has the day 1 starter been announced? That's what's funny..."people are questioning the coaches decision" keeps being said...a decision that hasn't even been made yet. o_O

Bryant has been in the system long enough to do everything and do it well. He can’t. TL has been in the system for 20 scrimmages or practices. He may not have a full grasp of the offense, but he looked pretty dang good in the spring game. He had another td called back by coach due to a touch that had no effect on the play and was bang bang. I am not the coach, but I can still have my on opinion and the most potential is for TL TO START and learn as much as he can. Can he do the job. If I was a betting man and he can stay healthy, I bet he can do it.

I may be dreaming but when Dabo called back that td by Lawrence I thought he was a little over doing it, that it shouldn't have been negated but he didn't want things to get too whop-sided, not to discourage KB. Maybe I'm overly suspicious.

Jul 19, 2018, 8:01 PM
[ in reply to Re: Lawrence or Bryant ] |

easy money. Had bet Clemson to win natl championship in pre-season Vegas futures bet as in 2015 and 2016. But bet Bama in 2018 playoff game giving Tigers very little chance to beat the spread. While I suspected we would lose with KB at QB and Bama stuffing the line, apparently coaches believed we could win. Again, very easy money and disappointed offensive coaches had no Plan B.

Dabo seemed very candid that this race is much tighter
Jul 18, 2018, 2:36 PM
|

than Stoudt and DW4. Said that Stoudt was well ahead of DW4 due to the collarbone issue, etc.
The fact that Dabo is saying that sort of stuff and not saying things like "KB just took us to the playoff, of course he has earned the number 1 spot". Really leads you to believe that this is not going to be resolved anytime soon and is a legit battle.

the starter will be. We often forget that. The coaches aren't gonna just randomly play someone. The players know who needs to be out there. So whoever wins the job, wins the job. Pretty simple.

If Trevor, without a doubt, give us the best chance to win, he will start. Dabo is not going to risk losing games and losing the team because he is “loyal” to KB. Cant wait to see how it shakes out.

BIG D, WHAT IS AMAZING IS THAT A COACH THAT HAS 8 TEN WIN SEASONS IN A ROW AND 3 STRAIGHT TRIPS TO THE FINAL 4 WOULD BE QUESTIONED IN THE LEAST OVER ANYTHING HE DOES. SEEMS TO ME HE HAS A FORMULA THAT IS WORKING PRETTY GOOD. YET YOU HAVE A CERTAIN GROUP OF MOUTHBREATHERS THAT PRETTY MUCH QUESTION EVERYTHING HE SAYS. AMAZING WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY.

SINCE WE ARE SCREAMING....PLEASE TELL ME HOW IT IS CONSIDERED QUESTIONING WHAT HE IS DOING WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EVEN NAMED THE DAY 1 STARTER YET? WE KNOW WHO LEADS THE SPRING....THEY HAVE YET TO DATE TO NAME WHO WILL BE THE STARTER AT FURMAN 100%. SO HOW IS ANYONE'S OPINIONS, WHETHER FOR LAWRENCE OR FOR BRYANT, QUESTIONING.
YOU DO REALIZE THAT IF THEY CHOSE LAWRENCE TO START GAME 1, THAT MAKES ALL OF THE PEOPLE CLAMORING FOR BRYANT TO START THE ONES ACTUALLY QUESTIONING HIS DECISION, RIGHT?

THERE ARE VERY FEW QUESTIONING DABO....THERE ARE PLENTY THAT ARE DICUSSING WHETHER THEY THINK KELLY WILL BE THE STARTER WHEN THE DECISION IS FINALLY MADE LATE AUGUST, OR INTO THE SEASON. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

rankings of the top QBs to ever play the game at any level, and you see Trevor Lawrence sitting at #1 ahead of all-time greats like DW4, Joe Montana, Tom Brady and Charlie Whitehurst...Dabo's decision has already been made for him.

If Bowden knew as much as he thinks he knows he'd be coachin
Jul 18, 2018, 2:57 PM
|
|
instead of talking for a living.
We didn't see DW in his freshman year Spring game and I was fine with Dabo starting Cole for a couple games. That played out right because DW was reckless and stayed injured most of the year. TL doesn't seem to project that recklessness. Imo, that's a maturity thing which Dabo is likely to have noted.
I hope TL starts but I still don't believe he will be the starter in the first two games. Also, if Dabo doesn't get this boy ready for the Playoff early and as well as possible I will be disappointed. I understand that Dabo is in this for what's best for CU, the football program and each individual player.
Often some of us eventually realize why Dabo does things and some of us never learn.

If Dabo learned from 2014, I guess he went backwards in 2017. There's no reason Cooper should've played one snap in that game. Sorry guys but the coaching staff failed to play the better player that night.

Trevor needs to start getting ready for the NFL draft. No need to risk injury this season. Expect a "Clowney" like season from Lawrence.

"Famous" Amos Lawrence probably had more breakaway speed, but Kelvin Bryant was your dependable workhorse, better in the clutch, always good for three yards if you needed it. We are talking about UNC running backs during the Disco years, right?

True... streeter should stay in his lane and let BV do his thing. Streeter needs to focus on finding the next DW and TL and getting him to commit to us. Clemson is becoming QBU along with DLU. WRU is great, but we are more than that

Both Will Play for the First Four Games
Jul 18, 2018, 4:34 PM
|
|
I think with the new 4-game redshirt rule next year, they're going to play both for the first four games and see where they are after that. If Lawrence takes over the starting job they can redshirt Bryant and have him back for one year at another position. If Lawrence just isn't ready to play as a true freshman they can redshirt him.

They both play. Must keep them from going straight to the c00ts just before the Furman game. Will see.1a 1b. All 3 need game experience. That is TL,CB and Batson. KB can win the ACC. Will need the best downfield passer for Texas AM. Must keep both KB and TL engaged! Tommy who?
