When she was at Clemson for that interview she was all gushy and over the top with Kelly. Kelly played in those same games she rattled off and he did nothing. That argument holds not substance. It is simply competition and the better player starts.. as presented for this game, now obviously for all games

I watched the Taylor/Rowed series. Maria said during that segment; 'Kelly B and I have this thing'. Which I took to mean they have a friendly banter going on.
It appears to me she is letting that overshadow her professionalism as a broadcaster during this segment.
No, we are not a better team without Bryant on the roster.
But, HE made that choice.

Maria Taylor is making a terrible argument . . .


Sep 27, 2018, 2:55 PM

It's barely even an argument. It's basically that Bryant was at QB for two second half TD drives against A&M. But she ignored Spears' point that Trevor came in and did better in some cases against lesser competition than Bryant did. Taylor wants it summed up by those two TD's.

It can be argued that it's a close case, but it can't be argued that it's a slam-dunk in favor of Kelly. Furthermore, it's a false dichotomy to suggest that Dabo was motivated by a national championship run as opposed to on-field performance thus far. Why do coaches even *care* about on field performance when setting the depth chart? Because it's a huge indicator of potential future performance - national championship run or otherwise. Even if we assume that Dabo did make the decision in anticipation of a playoff run, the question would still be why he chose Lawrence to lead that playoff charge - would it not be b/c he thinks Lawrence is more able, better suited, gives us the best chance to win? If so, does it stand to reason that Dabo was *NOT* considering comparative performance of the two thus far this season? Does that make any sense at all? It's a false dichotomy to suggest what she suggested.

I wish women in sports didn't make the "women in sports stigma" worse. ESPN desperately needs an Erin Andrews type woman back on their staff. If Beth Mowins was slightly more attractive, she would be perfect.

Is Clemson better without KB? No. Perhaps that's another reason he left - to "stick" it to us. Kelly's reaction to the news and his behavior since left a bitter taste in his mouth and he saw his future poof into thin air. Is he good enough for the NFL? Who knows. Time will tell.

At any rate, Maria's argument that TL didn't earn his spot is bogus. In sports, whoever has the comparative advantage wins the job - you should know this, Ms. UGA Volleyball. Especially when they essentially had the same reps/opportunities. That's no different than at Alabama (Hurst just hasn't left yet - and it won't be as drama-filled when he does). Also, attrition happens ALL THE TIME, this one just happens to be at a "shocking" time due to the new rule.

Did Kelly do anything specific to lose his job? Also no, but he didn't do anything to add the wow factor - more so went through the motions.

I don't disagree with that. I'd rather hear a woman call softball/volleyball games, so that's no different than men calling football.

There are just too many Talking Heads talking about football! Her statement is so stupid! If you don't have performance you don't win games. If you don't win games you don't get to the playoffs. What a bunch of #### rocket scientists ! I'm sure somebody has already turned this into a racial thing I just haven't seen it.

Her only argument is TL threw 9 TDs during games with lower competition. But KB also played in those same games and didn’t throw 9 TDs, so her argument is invalid.

She sounds like a TL fan trying to convince Dabo to go ahead and make the change before it's too late. She must spend a lot of time reading that kinda stupid nonsensical logic tnetters used when trying to convince everyone that TL should start in our first game. No, it's not a lot like that it's exactly identical to the smoke tnetters blew up everyone's shorts to support their opinions before the season began.

What she and they failed to appreciate is obvious now. Dabo was putting the best man in the job back then and he's doing it again now.

I doubt Dabo's desire to win the last game of the season overwhelm his desire to win the next one. That would make him a liar for he has stated many times the next game is the most important.

Cuse should be flattered that he respect their program enough to change starting quarterbacks to beat them.

Is Maria’s argument sound? No. Does KB (who I wish hadn’t left-but Trevor is the gunslinger we needed) get to QB in the NFL? Answer: How many running QBs does the NFL have now? How many would survive their first season?. Trevor gives the Tigers the punch that we have been lacking to get the momentum back in games. Bama loaded the box all night long in the playoff and the scoreboard for us dried up. Her argument makes no sense and is specious at best.

I like her, but totally disagree with her. As others have mentioned, her & KB had a great rapport when she & Holly Rowe made an appearance on the VLOG (both were great, BTW). I think part of this is having a good connection with KB and wanting to defend your friends.

She's not wrong about KB's performance against A&M. We don't win that game without him, in my opinion, but it wasn't like he was an unstoppable machine either. Trying to discredit TL's success against lesser competition doesn't help the argument because KB's performance in those games wasn't great.

She knows college football, but is wrong in this situation.

"Ya'll taking talent over experience"
"Kelly......and he is way better than Trevor"


I'm sorry-I'm missing something here

"Kelly made us beat A&M" As I recall Bryant finished the game because we went almost exclusively to a running game and Kelly is an additional running back. Not dissing him but he did not single handedly
make us win the game.

and Kelly leaving is his fault. He was told Trevor was starting this game. He quit. We would be a better team with him and he could have possibly earned his starting job back. Now he could end up at some podunk school. I do wish him the best.
