Stats and eye test says differently so I’m not sure how you figure. Open to the conversation though? . I looked at the stats - actually not dissimilar. Completion % similar, some advantage in Y/A to Stidham. Bryant handles the rush much better and greater running threat. Plus, in the past 2 games Stidham has had a couple of big fumbles that cost his team points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bama might win, but I feel like “Bama will roll” said every week starts to lose its luster Unhhhh okay ....? I literally copied the same exact thing THC said against Hurts and repeated it making a point. That Bryant is in the same - he is not a great QB without running. Read THC’s post and then read mine. It was a parody rebuttal.... i say the same same thing every week? Bama usually does roll every week, that means I’m right a lot. But I also don’t say that “every week” as we don’t discuss Bama weekly on this board. Are they my team and do I pick them to win often? Absolutely. About as much as the people that hate Bama just to do so pick against them. Have a good Sunday, bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completion %, Touchdowns, INTs - you name it. Stidham is also much more accurate throwing the ball down field. (By a wide margin) I’m not saying Bryant is bad, but he’s not Stidham. Does not have the arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson relies on more short throws to Renfro and the backs. Bryant also had no experience and has played very well recently. And his wheels are significantly better. If you asked me which QB had more upside - it is Bryant and it is not close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSFBfan Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Bryant is more prone to injury then Hurts. Syracuse showed how to dispose of him. Drop him on his head. Hes already had one concussion. But in all seriousness both Qbs are a lot alike. Clemson front 7 is very very good. Alabama getting their Lbs back. Will only have 2 guys out for the clemson game Hamilton and Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinl Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 The Clemson D line is NFL caliber. Truth. Having the LBs back will help, but I also havent forgotten how terrible we (Bama) got over the season at : 1. 3rd and whatever on offense. This season, when Hurts wasnt scrambling for his life, he seemed very undecided at whether to run or throw. IMO, he made better decisions last year. 2. Getting the defense off the field on 3rd downs. (We are great at 2nd and 1, or 3rd and 3...but if it's 3rd and 15, we cant seem to stop it) 3. Lack of a dominant O lineman. Those 3 things really stood out to me as the season progressed. We have to run the ball to beat Clemson. Period. We have to have a HUGE game from Damien Harris and Bo Scarborough if we win this one. Very tall order. Ill be there. Hope I dont waste $700 bucks. Roll Damn Tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll Damn Tide. The OC keeps calling passing plays and getting Bama behind the chains. Bama has 5 legit Rbs plus Hurts back there. run the ball time and time again. In order for Damien Harris and Bo to have big games they have to have the ball. And calvin ridley has to be able to get open unlike what he was able to do against Auburn. And for gods sake can we use a TE when we do pass the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupid scrambling make-shift pass game is ineffective. If we run Bo and Harris more in the Iron Bowl, game would have been closer.

Bormio Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Alabama has to be balanced on offense. If they think they are going to line up and run it down Clemson’s throat, they are going to be sorely disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
