You mean a guy that has arguably the best college season of all time? Probably not

I absolutely think you take Brice now.


I don't see the logic in having 5 QBs. You've already gotten the best transfer QB available. Brice isn't going to play. He will simply be taking up a scholarship. You also run the risk of losing both Vandagriff and Williams by taking Brice as well. Beck will have plenty of competition with Newman.

As for Bennett, if he's never going to play, which we all knew, we should have never wasted the scholly. Mathis I'm not sure about. Sounds to me like he could be cleared, but UGA is worried about the legal ramifications. If that's the case and we lose him and Bennett, then maybe you take Brice. The problem is Brice has two years of eligibility. He doesn't fit.

He must have caught flack and changed his profile picture because it's just him in Clemson orange on my end.

What?

Incoming freshmen are not going to be scared of someone entering his 5th year who might not have started a game at that point.

You’ll have to excuse him. He usually doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.

I've seen lots of fans speculate along these lines. Maybe they've already made that decision and he doesn't want anyone to know. Maybe he will be cleared soon as has been rumored.

But, there are multiple approaches and techniques for "brain surgery"; craniotomy, craniectomy, transnasal/transfacial endoscopic, "burr holes", and different variations of all of those procedures. Like most things in medicine, the procedure and outcome play a role in deciding his future limitations, maybe moreso than the fact it was "brain surgery".

Matthis is still practicing with the team which may be an indication that his surgeons haven't taken a hard position that he'll never play again. I hope that's the case.

If that's the case, it seems he would be quiet about being "confident" to be cleared? Dunno... Definitely with you though... that he's still practicing would seem to imply that at a minimum they haven't made their minds up in the negative. I hope he gets the chance to play so long as it's deemed safe.

We don't need to take Newman and Brice, the latter of which has two years of eligibility remaining. 18 year old kids make all kind silly decisions, especially when they see a crowded QB room that also includes a highly touted Carson Beck on top of Brice. Zachary Evans should have taught you that.

Next time if you disagree with a point, try making your argument like an adult, instead of mouthing off like a smartass 15 year old trying to score internet cred points.

I agree. Brice is a backup and should remain a backup with Clemson. We will have sufficient talent behind Newman and it will give us a less crowed opportunity to recruit a top flight prospect in our upcoming class.

What taken behind him? If you have the opportunity to take 2 seasoned QBs who didn’t start their career as a walk on and only accomplishment to date is “had some really good practices before the Rose Bowl then you can’t be choosy.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with some of these takes.

True, and I trust our coaching staff to help them make more informed ones.

highly touted Carson Beck

Is he really that highly touted? He’s a decently rated 4* who had a bad senior season. By no means a lock to be a good starter for us in 2021. There’s a decent chance Brice could be our starter to at least start that season.

You mean the guy who signed his NLI to Georgia?

Fine, I broke your argument down piece by piece this time, and all your points still look dumb. That work for you?

You do know he was the ONLY returning starter on O this year right? Might have something to do with it

Of course. But us acting like he’s going to come in and assume he’s going to be amazing right off the bat is how you end up with our situation in 2014, when Brice Ramsey was supposed to be the guy.

I think/hope Beck will be better, but I don’t want to just count on that when giving us more depth can’t hurt.

Exactly, why would we just go on faith and hope that Beck pans out if there is a capable junior/senior.

I do not understand wanting a world where Beck or Bennett are our most experienced back ups or starting options in 2021.

Exactly. This team ain't in a position to be turning down productive QBs. Sign everybody and let them sort themselves.

Also, the top QB recruits in the country aren't going to be scared of two upperclassmen who've never started.

I don't necessarily see why Beck couldn't be our best starting option in 2021 or even possibly best backup option in 2020 since he's an early enrollee. Lots of talented qb's start in their 2nd year, and Beck looks talented to me.

If they think Brice is good enough to win the job in 2020, fine take him too. But in the age of the transfer portal, stockpiling quarterbacks in 2020 doesn't guarantee depth in 2021. If you have more than one good starting qb option for any given season, you'll probably lose one to transfer.
