Was watching us in the "bottle toss bowl" with KB @ the helm


Aug 16, 2019, 1:51 PM

He is a terrific athlete, but compared to TL, he has a limited skillset. We are an amazingly different team now. Watching that game then the 2018 highlights and Natty draw a stark contrast in skills between the 2 players. It made me realize how special Lawrence is.

Two more years of this?? Flounder said it best: "...boy is this great!!??"

He's very limited in comparison which isn't so much a knock on KB as it is praise for Lawrence. I truly believe that TL would've been the better option against A&M had we let him get in a rhythm (look at FSU game) and the "KB saved us" argument is ill advised..

I never thought...

we'd roll into College Station and start a true freshman QB who was still in high school nine months earlier.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

I agree. Plus KB fumbling the snap on 4th and goal on the 2 inch line never gets mentioned.

As I watched the replays of the 2018 season...

I noticed the difference of which you speak as well.

While I didn't notice it as much at the time, it was clear upon further review that KB was holding the ball too long and not getting the ball to the receivers on time. This issue was exacerbated by all the air under his throws. Those big rainbow throws gave defenders time to close on the receivers.

Yeah, it was like he was afraid to throw. Trying not to make

mistakes, instead of being an assassin like TL

Part of that is just inability...

KB is a very talented athlete but he simply can't throw the ball on a laser like TL.

He is out of position as a QB. Too late to change him now as far as college goes.

When I watch games that KB started, I cringe on 3rd down knowing that he's probably going to kill the drive by trying to run the ball and getting stuffed. So many drives to kill, so little time.

What a relief in those games when TL16 came into the game. EXCITEMENT!

But I wish KB the best, and hope he wins a bunch. But, he will never play a down in the NFL as a QB. PERIOD.

It was very predictable what he would do.
