What kind of QB will Bryant be?

I know he is not the passer Lock was, but what is his ceiling?
At his best, will we see a run-heavy attack with the occasional bomb to a wide open receiver, aka Auburn's Nick Marshall.
Or will we see a balanced attack that can complete passes regularly to all 3 levels when the situation calls for a pass?
One thing I am confident of, I hope T Powell has the mindset over the offseason and through next year to be ready. The QB position will be running more, and he will be 1 injury away from playing every game.

RPO like crazy next season.
Albert O will get his shot to shine

He will probably be a smaller and faster version of James Franklin.

This is what I see. He's better than Nick Marshall was as a passing QB. Definitely not the athlete, but a better passer for sure. I agree with heavy RPO and taking advantage of the depth and talent in the backfield we have.

That would put the MU offense in a good place.
Cue the Ken Jeong "I'll allow it" gif.

++.
Our run game will be lethal next year. If he’s around JF passing, we will be just fine.

Bryant does a better job of placing the ball when attacking the second level than Lock has done at any point in his career. Hitting Albert/Parker and Johnson/Gicinto in stride in between the LBs and Safeties creates a lot of conflict and will open up things on the boundary/field for Knox, Scott and Floyd. The safeties still have to worry about spilling plays vs the run.
He needs a little more air under the ball to attack the gaps in cover 2 but he throws a very nice deep ball that noses over into the bucket.
His legs and intermediate throwing will make defenses account for things that were an afterthought the last three years.
I thought the offense would be solid regardless of who is getting snaps but I think they are going to be fricking filthy with Bryant pulling the trigger.

I like the sound of that Nuke. Daniel was so good attacking the mid level. Out of necessity I know, but boy he could do exactly what you were talking about here. Hit his fleet WRs and TEs in stride 10-15 yards down the field with open field still in front of them.
If Kelly can do that consistently and improve the QB run option.....get excited.

The biggest difference is on the run, Bryant can still hit most throw running to his left or right, Lock really struggled in this regard.
I think Bryant wants to develop into a better all around passer, so it will be interesting how he develops between now and the Wyoming game.
Color me fricking stoked though.

I would love to see a Brad Smith 2.0 but I'm not sold he is that guy.

That's who I compare him to is Brad Smith, but a little bit better passer.

Brad Smith 2.0
Bryant has comparable straight line speed but is well beyond Smith throwing the ball. Smith couldn't attack outside the field hash and when presented with a two deep look, he pulled the ball down and ran with it if his first read wasn't there. Bryant doesn't have those arm limitations.

Hard to compare Brad Smith to Bryant.
Smith didn’t have the weapons Bryant had at Clemson. Bryant was surrounded by 4 and 5 star players and Smith had 3 star players. Smith had that it factor to make players around him better.
Bryant is more like a James Franklin type of player. I think Bryant will fit in great. James Franklin did lead us to one of the best Mizzou seasons ever.
Smith was the first college QB to run for a 1,000 and throw for 2,000 yards in separate seasons. The 1st player to throw for 8,000 and run for 4,000 yards in a career.

Smith's 2005 skill group included Rucker, Coffman, and Will Franklin. Smith couldn't throw it far enough to capitalize on Franklin's speed advantage. His arm was weak, it is what it is.

People always throw out the 4 and 5 star thing at Clemson.
KB's most reliable target was Renfrow who was a 2 star walk on I believe.

a disappointing QB is the only safe bet. The fanbase seems to think he was solely responsible for his production at Clemson.

You love to spew the crap lately. Well done.
Coffman was the only stud at that time. Franklin didn't have the hands at that time to catch any deep balls. Nobody on the roster could stretch a D. His arm was above average. It is what it is regardless of how you want to revise it.

Smith ran like an antelope. Effortlessly. That made his passing such a huge plus. And he had great touch on the ball.

Rucker and Coffman tied for the team lead with 47 receptions in 2005.
Try again.

This is stupid talk. He caught 40 for 413 in 2005 running curls and outs on the boundary because Smith's lack of arm strength couldn't beat cover 2. He caught 48 for 829 in 2006 with a QB that could hit the gap.
I guess you think Smith's career 5.9 YPA is all on his skill talent, don't you.
When you get tired of being led around on a leash, let me know.

The OL at Clemson is very impressive. LT Mitch Hyatt(5* and #2 OL in the 15 Class) will go in the 1st round and he is surrounded by one of the best OL in the country(LG Simpson 4* don’t want to look up rest of them).
He had a great line at Clemson and should have a good line at Mizzou, but not as good as Clemson’s.
Mizzou may have a better receiving core, but the OL will make a difference.
