KB 68% 272 yards 2 TDs


Nov 26, 2017, 10:00 AM

Didn't play his best game and still with those numbers. Yet he isn't good enough? Dude is the real deal. He is smart with the ball and makes great plays.

It is his decision making and leadership that set him apart.

And he ain’t as bad as some people try to make him out to be at passing either. All he has done is win 11 games as a starter and lost one where he wasn’t himself and didn’t even play second half. It helps a lot when WRs get open and catch the ball too. We should beat Miami and if we do we have as much argument as anyone for being the best team in the nation. Hopefully no new injuries in practice and we hit the cfp full strength minus ones out for the season of course

Re: KB 68% 272 yards 2 TDs

First of all I’m glad we won and Kelly did have one of his best games. But with that said, I just don’t understand what you’re watching to say he’s the real deal, or I’m not sure you understand football. Kelly hit his short passes, props to him, but that’s it.

He has to have the weakest arm I’ve ever seen in a clemson qb. He lollipops the ball on short passes, giving the defense more time to rally to the ball. There were several times last night he did this and cost the receiver more time to get up field. He has still underthrown EVERY deep ball the last two weeks. He just can’t lead his receiver downfield. At least the throw to Tee was completed, but if he lead him it would have been a td.

When his first read isn’t there, he simply cannot find someone else. Not even a check down. He holds the ball and refuses to throw it on 3rd and long plays when his first read is covered, then takes off running. Every time. It’s so frustrating.

Completion % means absolutely zip when all the throws are around the line of scrimmage. Any high school qb could have a high completion % with those throws. Most of those yards game after the catch.

Even with all of that, we are 11-1 and are one game away from playing for another national championship. But to get there, KB will have to transform into something completely different than what he is now. Did you watch the auburn bama game? Halas last drive, where they had to throw the ball to win, was a complete mess. Hurts had to read a defense and couldn’t. He took off running almost every play and the drive was a mess. This is what we will look like when the game is on the line and we absolutely have to pass.

Yes we have not played a team like Auburn have we? Sometimes WRs are not open dude. If you want a qb that is going to force things when nothing is there I understand why you don't like KB. You may be the one who does not understand football. What do you think a real deal QB should do? Throw 10 20+ yard passes a game? Not many qbs could make that td pass to Renfrow at the goal line. The throw to Tee was a little short but the safety was coming over and he was making sure it wasn't a pick. Sometimes D's have good coverage dude.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: KB 68% 272 yards 2 TDs


Nov 26, 2017, 10:50 AM

Haha. I don’t expect him to throw it into coverage. I understand that sometimes, heck a lot of times things aren’t there and you have to hold the ball. But not EVERY single time. Just watch the film dude. He misses wide open receivers all the freakin time. Did you see dabo yelling at him last night to throw the dang ball down the field? Of coarse I don’t expect 20 shots downfield a game. If the defense is taking downfield shots away, I don’t care if we don’t throw a single one all game. But that’s not what’s happening. It’s there, all the time. KB just can’t find it, and when he does he underthrows it.

And this is why I laugh at you. That td to renfrow was wide open after he bought some time. It was a 10 yard pass. How in the world would you think that was some miraculous play? It was as a good play, one of KBs better plays all year, but good qbs on good teams can make that play in their sleep.

And he didn’t throw the ball short to tee because the safety was coming down. Haha. He just couldn’t get it there. The safety was 10 yards away. What’s the excuse for every other deep ball that game up short? He did it on purpose huh?

Yes sometimes d have good coverage, you are correct. I’m never talking about when defenses have good coverage. I’m talking about the layups KB has missed all year long, and the mistakes that will cost us a national championship.

Re: KB 68% 272 yards 2 TDs


Nov 26, 2017, 11:01 AM

Not many qbs could have got away from the pressure and made a throw that accurate rolling to the right. I didn't say the safety would have picked it off but I believe he did see him coming. You can hate on him all the way to the Natty and after we win it. You don't know what respect is I guess. He is winning just as much as DW but I guess that is just because of our team huh? He just isn't that good just 11-0 when he plays the full game. You just try to see what he does bad and do not open your eyes to what he does so well. It is just getting pathetic how much of a hater you are. The dude is good and you need to get use to him being good because he will be dang good again next year. You can keep on b*tching and we will keep on winning. That is just because our team is so good and it wasn't the last 2 years though right?

You’re right, his 190 something passing yards a game have carried this team. His 9 passing tds against fbs teams have carried this team. The coaching, running game and defense have nothing to do with it. Yup, it’s all KB.

Remember last year when Deshaun was overthrowing all of his deep balls and everyone was complaining? The difference is those overthrows turned into interceptions. So this year, we're not turning the ball over, we're still 11-1 and you're still mad.

And yet it was the passing QB who threw the pick on a bad throw in the endzone. Bryant might not be the most accurate passer but dang it he plays well enough to win every week. Give the kid a break.

If you think he doesn't go through his reads, you don't know football. He's really good at reading the defense and taking care of the ball. I've never seen so much vitriol and hate towards a QB that went 11-1 in his first year in my life. We have such a vocal ######## of a fanbase who are uneducated, couch coaches.

You must not watch many Clemson games. DW has a different style than Lamar Jackson. We will see how many good runs LJ has in the NFL. I know more about football than a lot of football fans. No I do not know everything and some things are opinions. If you think KB is not good that is okay but please go pull for a different team and get off this board hating on our QB who has had the best first year record of any Clemson qb in history.

You sound silly acting like he is so bad. Yes some of the things you say are true but some is grasping a little far. He is not DW but he is a dang good QB who doesn't turn the ball over and makes plays when they need to be made. It is a disgrace that some of you fans go so far to down grade what he is doing. Without him we would not be 11-1.

Besides WRU, we also have a great crop of RB's. If Kelly were passing all the time, we would be wasting that talent. It seems to me our offense is designed to maximize our available talent, without wearing out any one combination. Better to surprise the December-January opponents than to let everyone predict exactly where and to which receiver he is going to throw in any given situation.

The competition will be for who is #2 between Johnson and Lawrence, and the discussion will be which quarterback(s) transfer because they have no shot at playing.

Agree Judge - I believe HJ would be foolish not to transfer


Nov 26, 2017, 1:52 PM

If we are going to playoffs, HJ should stay into the Spring semester and take a ring with him. If not, HJ should leave in late December. Clemson was the best school in the country for me (an '84 grad). But for HJ, a young man with 1st round NFL QB potential, he is wasting his time playing behind a QB who will not even get a courtesy NFL tryout.

As for TL, he likely will be wasting his time arriving at Clemson in Jan 2018 to learn the playbook which did nothing for HJ who was never given a real shot at the QB job. TL would be better off just chilling around his high school buddies through May and arriving at Clemson in the Summer. At that point TL should practice away from the team with only the serious Clemson NFL WR prospects that KB cannot get ready for the draft either in games or practice ... a top 10 NFL draft pick awaits both TL and HJ if Clemson coaches do not derail it.

Dabo is doing what he believes is needed to win games and it's working. He is primarily worried about the W-L record and secondarily worried about these kids futures, and that's as it has to be. As for HJ and TL they have vastly more earning potential than any other players on Clemson's team due to their QB position and their talent - in fact they are the only two Clemson ballers likely to out earn Dabo. Interesting stuff.

KB isn't a great QB with the flashy stats but he is a great QB at managing a game and not turning the ball over.

Plays it safe and takes a chance when it's there. With the way the defense plays that's all you need out of the QB.

Re: KB 68% 272 yards 2 TDs


Nov 26, 2017, 11:30 AM

There is zero chance KB is the QB next year if HJ or TL is healthy. The defense will not be as good and be able to cover up the lack of a passing game.

Posting stats of a QB who throws within 5 yards of the LOS 95% of the time without posting YAC is intellectual dishonesty. That one long throw to Tee was underthrown or it would have been a TD.

KB gets away with that crap against inferior Defenses like Louisville and South Carolina but turns into a 1-dimensional QB against a defense with a pulse. And that 1-dimension (running game) has looked pretty bad the last few times against decent opponents.

If the defense doesn't play lights out against Miami, or against a team like Oklahoma in the CFP, it is going to be a long day if they have to pass it to win.

Winning makes it hard to be objective. I like KB, but I highly doubt he can put this offense on his shoulders and go win against a great defense. Hope I am wrong, I really do. However, being his first year starting he has done well and Elliott has definitely played to KB's strengths. That's good coaching. Go Tigers!!!!
