Can someone explain why we would want KB? 

He's experienced, he's a winner, he's tough and he knows how to run the kind of offense that Gus was successful with four years ago. 

Quote

He is not a good runner. He averaged less than 4 ypc in his only full season in 2017 and actually has a slower 40 time than Jared Stidham.

I feel the need to mention what you might already know, which is that sacks count against rushing stats in CFB and ~4 ypc is actually pretty good for a P5 QB. There are only 8 P5 QBs this season with a higher average than Kelly's 3.5 from 2017, and two of them play in Georgia Tech's triple option offense.

Quote

He is not a great passer either only managing 13 td passes and 7yds per pass attempt last year. You know who else had 13 td passes and 7yds per attempt?....JS this year.

No argument here.

I will point out, though, that he had 11 rushing touchdowns to go with those 13 TD passes and roughly 1,000 yards more from scrimmage. Overall, that's a vastly more effective QB than Stidham. 665 yards would've easily made him our 2nd-leading rusher this season. 

Quote

I just dont see the hype. Maybe people view him as a band aid but to me he's not even a good band aid.

I'll throw out one more stat, related back to that threat to run. Clemson's top 2 RBs last season each only had 107 carries. Each averaged 6.3 ypc or more. They also had 3 WRs with 49 or more catches and 500 or more receiving yards. Who knows how much KB's threat to run opened up the rest of the offense? They still "only" finished 32nd in total offense- we finished 25th- but that is an offensive balance that Gus could only dream of. 


Are we intentionally going after Bryant instead of someone like Tate? I don't know. If that's your question, I'm with you.


Otherwise, if Bryant is the best we can do, then we need to do it IMO. I've seen Willis make *terrible* decisions with the ball. Nix and Sandberg will be freshmen. Gatewood likely isn't destined to play QB at Auburn. It makes sense to go after a gamer for next year.

Again, though, I'm not sure if Bryant is the best available. And I'm not saying he'll take us to the promised land. He might not even win the job. I just see the reasoning here.

Ideally Tate would have been my preference but we don't have the luxury of time unfortunately so I will accept KB with open arms if he chooses to come here

 

I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A QB THAT CAN TAKE A SURE SACK/BOGUS PLAYCALL AND TURN IT INTO ANY TYPE OF POSITIVE GAIN. YES I AM YELLING BECAUSE THIS IDEA EXCITES ME

Per sources, former Clemson QB Kelly Bryant is expected to announce tomorrow that he is transferring to Arkansas, per sources, barring a last-second change of heart, according to sources familiar with his decision

The LeBron rants were a big part of it.  He just never stops beating his opinion to death.
